Rooms & Amenities

St Helena Bay Hotel offers sea-view rooms with balconies for watching sunrise and sunset over the same bay - one of only two places in the world where this happens. Rooms range from luxury en-suite rooms to rustic self-catering fisherman's chalets. Each room includes a smart TV, WiFi, and a coffee station. The budget double room lacks a TV, kettle, and coffee station but includes basic bedding. The family room has a double bed and a single desk. The chalet has a shower, and the apartment has a shower. All rooms are air-conditioned and non-smoking.

Dining Options

The hotel has two restaurants serving full à la carte menus, including a famous mussel pot. Breakfast options include baked egg with sausage and bacon or omelette with sausage and bacon. The restaurant offers special diet menus, kids' meals, and wine or champagne. Lunch and dinner are not served every day. The restaurant on-site offers a full à la carte menu, but some days only breakfast is available.

Leisure & Entertainment

The hotel has a rooftop pool with panoramic ocean views, but it is currently not in service. There are five pool tables, five fun machines, and a games room. The hotel also has a spa, billiards, and darts. Live music and performances are offered. The pool area has signs stating it is under construction, and the deck chairs are available. The hotel also has a barber or beauty shop, a shared lounge or TV area, and a garden.

Location & Transport

St Helena Bay Hotel is set on the West Coast, 2 hours from Cape Town and Cape Town International Airport. The sea is 500 metres away, with Middle Bay Beach for swimming and relaxation. Nearby attractions include West Point Private Nature Reserve, Paternoster Rock Island Reserve, and the Vredenburg Hospital. The hotel is steps from Bus #7 and the Green Line Tram, with direct service to the airport. The hotel is accessible by car only.

Services & Facilities

The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, laundry service, and free parking. The hotel has a business centre with a boardroom for up to 30 delegates and a function hall for up to 200 guests. The hotel also offers a shuttle service, airport drop-off and pick-up, and private check-in and check-out. The hotel has no TV in the budget room, but the family room has Netflix and WiFi. The hotel is under new management and is being renovated to restore its full potential. The staff are friendly and helpful, but the hotel is understaffed. The hotel has a games room with pool tables, but the pool tables do not have complete sets of balls.

“This establishment makes a strong case for value, with sea-facing rooms and balconies providing genuinely captivating ocean views that are surprisingly uncommon. The staff's consistent friendliness and attentiveness are a real asset, contributing to an atmosphere that feels both comfortable and well-managed, especially considering its ongoing improvements.”
