Blue Train Experience

I have just experienced one of the most luxurious adventures our Country has to offer, a trip aboard the Blue Train with an additional two nights in Cape Town. Our journey began on a Monday morning, a professional check in followed by an escort to our Deluxe Cabin with the luxury of a personal Butler at our beck and call. Brunch, consisting of a 3 course meal accompanied by our choice of beverage and followed by a cheese platter. This is either served at 10h30 or 12h30. High tea is served at 15h30 consisting of jam scones with cream, chocolate cake, cucumber and salmon sandwiches to name but a few. Time onboard the train may be spent in your cabin taking in the scenery or at any of the two lounges. Usually the train stops in Kimberley for a Museum excursion around 5pm, but unfortunately we had a few electrical faults on our line and were unable to disembark in Kimberley for the Tour. Not to be discouraged, our time was taken up in the Lounge Cabin meeting other guests from all over the world! Dinner is then either served at 19h30 or 21h15, again a culinary experience of 3/4 courses and drinks all inclusive. On awakening on Tuesday morning we were greeted with the most amazing scenery, sunny skies, green rolling hills and mountains in the back drop. We arrived in Cape Town around midday and proceeded to collect our hired car. Our itinerary for the day included a leisurely drive down to Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Simon’s Town, followed by lunch at the Black Marlin Restaurant which came well recommended with their seafood menu and setting. Our hotel for the following two nights was the Bantry Bay Luxury Suites. The location was easily accessible to the Waterfront, the many restaurants along Camps Bay as well as the highways. We spent the entire day on Wednesday discovering various Wine Estates in and around Stellenbosch. Some superb Estates we visited included Tokara, Thelema and Delaire. Delaire in particular were extremely welcoming and have a restaurant overlooking the valley, ideal for lunch! I can highly recommend the entire trip for that special occasion, whether it a Birthday or Anniversary Celebration I can assure you that you will not be disappointed. Please don't hesitate to call me to find out more! Best regards Natalie
