On the verdant slopes of Table Mountain, in the residential neighborhood of Oranjezicht, Lézard Bleu Guesthouse occupies a characterful home less than 2 km from Cape Town's city center. Seven rooms with distinct identities, a landscaped garden and an outdoor pool make up this retreat designed for travelers seeking tranquility without sacrificing proximity to the heart of the city.

Why choose Lézard Bleu

The property stands out for the uniqueness of its rooms: no two are alike. A wooden treehouse nestled among the trees with views over the city, bay and harbor. An independent wooden suite designed for couples. Rooms opening onto the garden or facing Devil's Peak. The whole combines residential architecture, lush vegetation and sweeping mountain views, minutes from the city's major attractions.

Atmosphere

The Oranjezicht neighborhood is one of Cape Town's most peaceful, perched on a hillside. The house embodies this residential feel: wooden terrace, tree-lined garden, sun loungers by the pool. The layout of rooms—scattered between the main house, treehouse and independent suite—preserves everyone's privacy. Concierge service remains available to guide your days without dictating the pace.
