Formerly the residence of artists Ian and Yvonne Currie, Blue On Blue is housed in a 1920s character home filled with architectural details of a bygone era; teak and Oregon pine flooring, antique Venetian fixtures, porthole windows, leaded glass cabinets, and cedar-lined closets. The guest house has been upgraded to serve the needs of our guests, and now harmoniously blends old and new with an art-filled ambiance that the dear Currie’s would appreciate.
Accommodation is offered in 3 light and airy guest rooms, each with its own character and colour. The beds are made up with Egyptian cotton sheets and duvets, and each room has an en suite or a private bathroom, a ceiling fan, and an electric heater. Free Wi-Fi is available.
A full breakfast with bread, cheese, yogurt, and fresh fruit is provided. Hot breakfasts are prepared to order.
On-site parking is provided.

27 guests' feedbackI stayed at Blue On Blue with my sister in Curries room and we were very happy with the accommodation and our stay in general. Yoliswa was an excellent hostess, and our breakfasts every morning were superb. Folk Restaurant 100 metres down the road in the Old Post Office on St James Station was very convenient for lunch or dinner.
We really enjoyed our stay.
I appreciated the South African art works and the creativity of the layout. The breakfast was fantastic and the view of the sea made the stay even better!
We enjoyed our time tremendously. Very homely and quiet place. I notified in my booking that we prefer halaal food. They still asked if we wanted bacon for breakfast. The lady said she was not aware of it. Accept that we enjoyed our time.
We were alone in the house and really enjoyed the serenity of the house. The bay window with the view of the ocean was my heaven! It would have been nice to have a coffee and tea station in the room as I had to make my coffee in the kitchen and walked upstairs with the mug of coffee. I had to be so careful not to spill on the antique wooden stairs.
Had a lovely weekend stay and great breakfast.
Comfortable bed. Struggled a bit with the shower hot water as the taps were not marked. Pleasant breakfast. Friendly welcome by the host. Beautiful view of the sea.
Just no wi-fi. doesn't work We had to buy data. Loadshedding affects the wifi.
Host was super welcoming. Room was super comfy and cute and the view was fabulous. Accommodation also in such great location. Would definitely recommend.
We really enjoyed our stay. One small suggestion would be to perhaps put a small kettle and coffee or tea in each room, instead of having the station in the kitchen.
Breakfast was fantastic, really awesome.
Our bedroom was especially well appointed with a panoramic view of False Bay, while the room was very comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed the use of the kitchen, dining room and lounge, plus secure parking. Many thanks.
The breakfast was delicious and a lot of food. Everything is very neatly unpacked. The lady who made the breakfast was very friendly and very helpful. We would definitely highly recommend the guest house.
We had a great stay at Blue on Blue. Great views of false bay as promised! The location is perfect. The room was clean and the bed in the Master suite is comfortable. We only had an issue checking in as we could not get hold of the host. One starts to get worried because we only got to check in after 9 and being on the road for 8 hours you just want to crash. Later on we were told that the land line was faulty. Perhaps an alternate mobile number should be supplied.
On arrival there was linen in plastic bags in the lobby, and still there when we left. Can it just be packed away with very little effort? Yoliswa is friendly, but language is a problem. Her English is very poor.
Not a place for elderly people, too much stuff on walls not for everyone. Beds pathetic. Access terrible. Will not book there again.
Will definitely recommend.
I love staying at Blue on Blue - Friendly staff, awesome breakfast and big comfy rooms!
The ocean views from the room (and the shower), the fresh sea breeze, the stocked library and finally the most awesome breakfast. I'll be back for sure.
Such a pleasant atmosphere. Furniture and artwork so beautiful and interesting. Housekeeper completely in charge, with so much calmness and kindness. Very well located.
We will definitely book again at Blue on Blue
Blue on Blue is a charming house with a delightful housekeeper. The breakfast was excellent. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was a peaceful and quiet neighbourhood. Easy walk to the restaurants in Kalk Bay. My only caution would be for anyone who is not agile with steep paths (outside the property) or stairs (to the bedrooms).
The location is great, walking distance to Kalk Bay and a few restaurants. The place itself is well equipped and we had a very nice stay. The staff were also very helpful which only made the stay more enjoyable.
Ideal location above St James. Quiet with beautiful views over False Bay.
We had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the breakfast each morning.
Wonderful breakfast.
Friendly reception with delicious breakfast, and quiet area. However, the stairs were difficult especially for older persons.
