Welcome

The elegantly gabled Lodge is built only meters above the wide-stretched beaches of Saldanha Bay; a tranquil South African fishing village lying approximately 120 kilometers North of the legendarily beautiful Cape Town. Situated in the relaxing privacy of the resort, the hotel offers guests a relaxing visit in comfortable accommodation, as well as a wide range of services and activities.

"Relaxation" is our tagline. Far away from the hustle and bustle of city life, Blue Bay Lodge gives guests the opportunity to relax and unwind. Whether your idea of relaxation might be having a glass of wine overlooking the bay, reading your book while listening to the sound of the waves or taking a long walk along the beach, our Lodge offers some kind of relaxation for everyone.

The hotel has comfortable, three star 'en suite' rooms, broad terraces where drinks are served to guests as they relax watching whales and porpoises glide by, before being served delicious meals in its charming a la carte restaurant.

Our Lodge is adjoined by a number of self-catering beach side cottages, all secure within the resort. Each cottage is comfortably furnished and fully equipped, ideal for the quest who would just like to kick back and relax. The cottages are also pet friendly so you can bring your pups on holiday with you if you’re booked into the self catering units.

Corporate delegates who come here frequently to meet and discuss issues of interest in one of our fully equipped conference rooms, appreciate the privacy and tranquility the lodge has to offer. Another of the services is 'team building'. Company management teams or private groups get together to get to know each other better within the Lodge and its natural environs. Meals and accommodation in the hotel or the cottages are part of the package.

Whether it's a peaceful weekend break, a holiday with your family, or a well-catered, private conference that you need, take a relaxing drive down the West Coast road - the R27 - where you will find that our Lodge has it all.

Massive Future Opportunities

R 10bn boost for SA's Saldanha Bay.

A R 9.65-billion investment in infrastructure projects at Saldanha Bay, on South Africa's West Coast, was announced by the Transnet National Ports Authority on Monday.

TNPA, a division of state-owned entity Transnet, is mandated to control and manage all eight commercial ports on South Africa's 2 954km of coastline.

The project falls under the government's "blue economy" plans of its Operation Phakisa initiative, announced by President Jacob Zuma in 2014. The aim of the project is to clear infrastructure bottlenecks that may be constraining economic growth.

The 330ha Saldanha Bay industrial development zone was designated in 2013 as a zone dedicated to serving the oil and gas industry. It has attracted strong interest, mainly from fabricators.

Saldanha Bay supports the export of the iron-ore mined in the Northern Cape Province, which currently stands at around 57-million tons a year.Saldanha Bay IDZ boost for jobs, growth.

Willem Roux, Saldanha Bay port manager, told a press conference on Monday that the TNPA sees an opportunity in serving the oil rigs operating on the west and east coasts of Africa, Business Day reported. Roux said about 120 rigs passed South Africa's coast every year.

"We know if we do not use this opportunity now to capture this market, other ports in the southern hemisphere will gear themselves to capture it," the newspaper quoted him as saying.

The TNPA has issued tenders to invite public-private sector participation in the projects. According to Business Day, these include:

The construction of a new rig repair quay, 380m long and 21m deep, to serve modern rigs that require extra depth. The quay will be able to serve two rigs simultaneously;
Lengthening of the Moss gas quay from 38m to 500m, with a depth of 8.5m. This will allow it to accommodate floating docks;
Building of an offshore supply base which will serve as a one-stop shop to supply oil rigs with services such as food, materials and waste collection.

The TNPA said the projects would create an estimated 6 300 new direct JOBS and 25 200 new indirect JOBS, contributing an estimated R 4.74-billion to South Africa's gross domestic product. The project is due to be completed by January 2018.
