We spent a weekend in the Blue Bay Lodge with our friends. We had a very nice, clean bedroom for two people. The staff was friendly and hospitable. We enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the Lodge. Blu Bay Lodge is situated betwen Saldanha Bay and Langebaan (Club Mykonos). The Vredenburg Shopping Mall is also nearby. The seafront/ beach area is... More

We stayed at the Lodge for a friends wedding, which was a very nice affair. The ceremony was done on the pristine lawn overlooking the beach, although their is a faint whiff emanating from the sea which wasn't too pleasant! The rooms were spacious enough, although I think luckily we had the largest from all the guests. Amenities were all... More

Our stay at the Blue Bay Lodge was a nice treat. We used the lodge as a base for our explorations around the Saldahna area and had a very pleasant night. The location is pretty good, provided you have your own car, about 4km out of the Saldanha CBD. It is set right on the beach with nice views out... More

It was our first time at Blue Bay Lodge. The resort is quite big. There's the lodge itself with a restaurant, spa and various kinds of accommodation directly at the lodge. Then there's privates homes on the Blue Bay property and cottages associated with the hotel. I did not book a private cottage on the resort but rather a 1... More

In general, this is a different experience. The rooms are not designed for tall people as the roof slopes steeply. It's also not for elderly people who can't climb steps as there are no lifts. However, the food, service and views make up for all the other deficiencies. I would go back to Saldanha and stay at the Blue Bay... More

Thank you for your review! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the peace and tranquility and the service of the Lodge. Unfortunately as the Lodge is an old homestead, some of the rooms have the old corners and slopes although we do have rooms on the ground floor for people who can't climb stairs and ones that...

We went in a group and booked two chalets for 12 people. We were pleasantly surprised by the facilities, views and spacious rooms. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The restaurant venue is beautiful with a clear view of the beachfront.

The rooms are not amazing here; they are a little small and the concrete floors a little austere. However the open and airy bar and restraunt are lovely and walking along the beach of an evening is great too. The staff are helpful and breakfast in the morning sun is faultless.

Good Afternoon. Thank you so much for your review. The room you stayed in was the semi self catering suite, they have the concrete floors. Next time, I would suggest that you ask if we have one of the bigger Lodge rooms available, they have carpets and although all our rooms look a little different from each other (as the... More

Quiet remote Lodge suitable for a quiet break or an excellent place to base yourself if exploring the area. Stayed in both a remote cottage and a room within the hotel and found them both perfectly acceptable, although my preference would be a room within the hotel. The menu may be slightly limited but what is on it was well... More
