Johan & Jo-Anne Blaauw
We are extremely proud because Blaauwheim has once again received a Travellers’ Choice Award from TripAdvisor in 2019, as well as a Certificate of Excellence. We’ve also had our annual grading done by the TGCSA and our five stars were re-awarded for 2020 with a score of 97,5%. Blaauwheim is small, secure and private. With only three rooms there can never be a crowd and everybody is assured of the personal attention they deserve You may be aware that Cape Town and the Western Cape are in the midst of a drought resulting in a water shortage. Anticipating the worst, we had a borehole drilled on our property and fortunately found water of excellent quality! We have been self-sustaining with regards to water since December 2017. Our water is filtered and 100% safe for human consumption.
