Each studio has a balcony and an outdoor dining area. Rooms are available with sea views, ocean views, or a balcony, and some look out over Table Mountain.

Kitchenette Dining

There is no restaurant or breakfast service on site. Each studio has a kitchenette stocked with crockery, tea, coffee, milk, and water, so you can prepare your own meals. The balcony and outdoor dining area are set up for eating outside.

Saltwater Pool and Terrace

The outdoor saltwater pool is open all year and has views of the city and sea. Sun loungers and pool/beach towels are provided. The property also has a garden and a terrace with outdoor furniture.

Hilltop Near Waterfront

The property sits on a steep hill in Cape Town, about a 2 km walk from the V&A Waterfront. Bree Street and Kloof Street are also within walking distance, and Long Street has bars and nightlife. Cape Town International Airport is 21 km away. Ride-hailing apps are plentiful in the area.

Housekeeping and Airport Shuttle

Free on-site private parking is available in a secure garage. Daily housekeeping keeps the studios clean, and laundry and ironing services are available. Guests can use a safety deposit box and key access. The property offers airport pickup and drop-off via shuttle. Free WiFi is included. The property is adults-only and non-smoking throughout, with a designated smoking area.

“8 On Upper Bloem makes a compelling case for staying in the Bo-Kaap, particularly with its commanding views stretching over Table Mountain and the harbour - a spectacle best enjoyed from the private balconies. The genuine warmth and attentiveness of hosts like Samantha and Frances truly elevate the experience, ensuring a spotless and comfortable stay. It strikes a fine balance, feeling both wonderfully local and remarkably well-appointed, with convenient garage parking adding a practical touch.”
