Why the $elect Stays initiative?

Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
Exclusive.
Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.

How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.

The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.

Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.

I have read & agree to the Terms & Conditions below

Terms & Conditions

The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.

Bloubergstrand and Surrounding Accommodation

Explore on Map

Simply the best view in the house!

Bloubergstrand is a small town situated on the west coast of South Africa, directly north of Cape Town.

The area is often incorrectly referred to as Bloubergstrand, when in fact the area is officially known as Blaauwberg. This area encompasses a number of smaller suburbs, starting in the north and working south (closest to Cape Town): Big Bay, Bloubergstrand, West Beach, Sunningdale, Blouberg Rise, Bloubergrant, Parklands, West Riding, Table View, Sunridge, Killarney Gardens, Richwood, and Flamingo Vlei.

Blaauwberg is a unique coastal area for visitors to the Cape. The area offers all of the conveniences of urban living with restaurants to suit every taste along the coastline. Even the shopping centres have sea views, where shoppers have easy access to national chain stores and stylish boutiques alike. With cinemas, golf courses and nightlife spots within such close proximity, visitors are never short of entertainment.

Attractions
Bloubergstrand is situated on the West Coast Road for easy access to a multitude of tourist attractions. A 20 minute drive up the Blaauwberg coast will take visitors to sleepy fishing villages set against vast stretches of isolated beaches, while a 20 minute drive towards Table Mountain leads to the city centre and Southern Suburbs. The first of the Northern Suburbs is just 15 minutes away from Bloubergstrand where guests can visit some world renowned wine estates which are dotted between the Durbanville Hills and Stellenbosch and Franschoek mountains. For those on business rather than pleasure, the Cape Town International Convention Centre is a mere 20 minutes away. The Southern Suburbs, also a short drive from Bloubergstrand, are known for their beautiful forests and are home to the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, which attract both locals and tourists, especially during summer months when visitors to the gardens can enjoy sunset concerts by top local artists. Nature lovers can enjoy walks amongst the Fynbos Gardens, especially as the Western Cape is the only region in the world to have an entire floral kingdom unique to the region.

Bloubergstrand Beach is situated between Big Bay and Bloubergrant. The corner of the beach has some great rock pools to explore. Many photographs are taken of Table Mountain from here, with the waves splashing over the rocks and the mountain in the background. From the beach you can look out into Table Bay as well as look back down the beach at Table View and Milnerton. When the beach is windy, the surf is dominated by the tricks and aerobatic skills of kites surfers and boardsailors. The conditions here are ideal for these sports as its often quite windy and there is plenty of space along the beach to accommodate all the sailors. When the wind is calm this is a great place to relax and work on your tan.
