Blouberg, Western Cape

Blouberg at a glance

With its long white beaches and iconic views of Table Mountain, the Blouberg area is the area of choice for locals, holiday makers and "semi-grants" alike. Watching the sun set on the horizon while the evening lights start to twinkle in the City Bowl at the foot of the mountain, enjoying your favourite water sport or just watching the hundreds of colourful kites transport their intrepid surfers across the white-tipped waves, or observing the annual migration of whales and dolphins in the Bay - whatever draws you here, this is surely where you will find your forever home.

There is a home for every budget in this beautiful area, from starter homes and apartments at under R1m to secure lifestyle estates and luxury beachfront homes at over R10m. But regardless of your income bracket or the lifestyle you are looking for, the Western Seaboard offers unrivalled value for your money.
Situated on the coast of Cape Town, the Western Seaboard area stretches from Flamingo Vlei to Melkbosstrand and incorporates Big Bay, Table View, Parklands and Blouberg. Less than 20km from the centre of Cape Town, it is an easy commute to the city centre or to the industrial areas around the Cape Town International Airport, whether you choose to use the convenient My Citi bus service or drive yourself on the well-maintained highway network.

Having developed as a residential area so much later than many of the older Cape Town suburbs, it is particularly well served by infrastructure such as road and bus networks, hospitals, schools and shopping malls. And with the present and planned development of the entire area and further development up the west coast, your investment is secure.

Schools in the area include Elkanah House (Pre-primary to Matric), Parklands College, Curro, Blouberg Ridge Primary, Bloubergrant Primary, Blouberg International College, Rallim Prep and many more.

The area is served by numerous clinics and two main hospitals - Blaauwberg Netcare Hospital and Milnerton Medi-Clinic.

Water-sport enthusiasts are spoiled for choice - whether surfing, kitesurfing, Jet-ski, water-skiing, stand-up paddle, body-surfing or open water swimming is your game, the Blouberg area attracts visitors from all over the world.

With the winelands on your doorstep, glorious floral displays in spring, bike lanes for cyclists, mountain and hiking trails, golf courses and other sporting facilities nearby, there are outdoor activities for every taste and fitness level.

The brand-new Table Bay Mall has well over 100 shops, restaurants and banks. The West Coast Mall and Sandown Retail Crossing as well as Food Lover's Market, Builders Warehouse, gyms and more can be found in Sandown. Bayside and Table Bay Malls provide convenient shopping for Flamingo Vlei and Table View shoppers.

One of the greatest attractions in this area is the safety aspect. Well served by both SAP and private security firms, the Western Seaboard area is among the safest in the country. And for those wanting absolute peace of mind, the gated secure Big Bay Estates (Dune Ridge, Sandown Estate, Waters Edge and Blouberg Hills) as well as numerous freehold and sectional title complexes offer a range of properties across the entire price and size spectrum.
