For decades the owners of Babylonstoren and The Newt in Somerset have been holidaying at Keurboomstrand on the Western Cape coastline. One of the most charming little beaches in the world, famed for its rugged coastline and unspoilt beaches. Over recent years, we’ve restored or upgraded a few beach cottages on a sea-facing strip of land.

BLOU has only eight self-catering cottages. They are dotted around a central courtyard with a swimming pool, sauna and steam room. It’s the epitome of barefoot luxury on the edge of the Indian Ocean.

BLOU
A poem by Jan F.E. Celliers:

It’s the blonde, 

it’s the blue: 

it’s the veld, 

it’s the sky; 

and a bird
circles
high in
lonely
flight–
that’s
all

CALM INSIDE

Contemporary in design, BLOU has lean, beachy looks. Our prime colour is reminiscent of the shifting hues of sea and sky.  

WILD OUTSIDE

It’s rugged – that’s what sets Keurboomstrand apart. It sits between Keurbooms River Nature Reserve, and Nature’s Valley.  

FUll circle

Ground yourself in the embrace of nature.  

All is BLOU.
