Blue Gum Country Estate

On the slopes of the Klein River Mountains you will find Blue Gum Country Estate, a 5* lodge about a 2 hour drive from Cape Town.

The second you enter Blue Gum Country Estate you will be able to relax and unwind. There are sunny patios for summer days and cosy fireplaces for the winter evenings. Enjoy a game of tennis or a refreshing swim in the pool, or horse-riding on the beach or in the mountains. Mountain bikes are always available to cycle the tracks at the base of the mountain or along the gentle farm roads. Blue Gum also has exclusive access to a boat on the Stanford River, and offers morning and evening cruises.

Enjoy delicious cuisine in the dining room, and light lunches on the patio with views of fields and mountains, or dinner by candlelight on the deck overlooking and valley.

The nearby pretty little town of Hermanus is one of the world's best whale viewing sites. The peak time, when daily sightings are virtually guaranteed, is during September and October.

Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of the entire African continent, is also only an hours drive away.

There are 5 mountain-facing suites, decorated in English country style, each with a fireplace, arm chairs and private patio.

3 colonial African style suites and 2 luxury rooms are situated in the Manor House. Each has its own private veranda, overlooking the valley to the Klein Rivier mountains. The manor house has its own lounge, library and veranda.

There are also 2 interleading suites set in a separate part of the grounds.

Finally, the Blue Gum Villa is a luxury separate farmhouse, perfect for families or groups of friends travelling together. Sleeping up to 8 people, this unique accommodation has a private pool and gardens, and is fully equipped if guests wish to self-cater too.
