I was at the Restaurant and the best margarita ever they prepared. The vibes, the sunshine and everything was nice.

Booking.com review – APRIL 2026
Location absolutely perfect. Breakfast outstanding, various options which are refreshing. Lovely ladies serving breakfast, warm, chatty providing a homely atmosphere. Would highly recommend the omelettes they make. The staff, from Reception to the Restaurant and bar and the cleaning staff, very attentive and nothing was too much for them. Service quick, clean fresh towels daily or on request. Room cleanliness outstanding. Hotel very well located for the beach and local amenities. Not a single thing we did not like. The Blue Peter Hotel will most definitely see us again in the future. Great place to stay. We felt safe and beautifully looked after!

We had a fantastic experience at Blue Peter. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. They were incredibly accommodating with our kids happily making a few small menu tweaks and being very patient with us, which we really appreciated. A special shoutout to Obed, who was an absolute star and made us feel very welcome. We’ll definitely be back!

I was genuinely blown away by this place. The location is fantastic, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the food was absolutely outstanding. I had the hake and calamari. The hake was cooked to absolute perfection, with a beautiful light, crispy batter, and the calamari was exceptionally soft and tender. Even the chips were done perfectly, which really rounded off the whole meal.
I had a friend visiting from the UK and, to be honest, I initially wondered if it might be a bit of a tourist trap. It was a recommendation and my first visit, but I am so glad we went. It is definitely not a tourist trap and worth every cent. We left extremely happy and will absolutely be back. Highly recommended.

Room was cleaned regularly with fresh towels at request. Had a beautiful sea view from our room. I would say the decor is slightly dated, but it did not make any impact on our stay, just an observation. Staff were very attentive, service was quick and food quality in the bar and restaurant were excellent. Bar area and outside tables very busy Friday nights and weekends and that adds to it as there is a nice friendly atmosphere with families and lots of people coming to eat and drink. Nice beach literally a few meters from the hotel. It’s a perfect place if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town, not loads else nearby, but 10 min down the road there is another area with pubs and restaurants, can walk it takes about 25 mins or an uber is a couple of pounds. Really is a lovely area.

Loved our stay. Staff were all friendly and most helpful. Perfect location. There is a Restaurant downstairs and food in The Lighthouse is good and a perfect spot to sit, chill and unwind. The views from our room were amazing. Will definitely return. Close proximity to Eden on the Bay and shopping centres like the Table Bay Mall.

Booking.com review – NOVEMBER 2025
Relaxed, country hotel feeling, safe for beach walk, close to other Restaurants if needed
Our stay at the Blue Peter Hotel was absolutely amazing. We stayed in one of their beachfront rooms, just a few steps from the sand, and we could hear the ocean at all times. The view was simply magnificent, overlooking Table Mountain, Robben Island and the entire coastline.
The Hotel itself has a lovely country-charm – it really feels like a home away from home. One hightlight was the bar area, which was fantastic for sitting sheltered from the wind, but still enjoying the stunning view. On clear days, we relaxed outside under the umbrellas and enjoyed their excellent menu.
In the evenings, we dined in the more formal restaurant, again with that full view of Table Mountain and Robben Island. Plus their was ample and safe parking which was a big plus. Overall it’s a 10 out of10 spot if you want to be a little bit out of the hustle and bustle of town and enjoy some true country-style hospitality by the ocean.

I booked 9 rooms for a group of International visitors for 3 nights. From the start, the staff looked after us exceptionally well. Every single member of the team was warm and friendly. The rooms are amazing with king size beds that are so comfy. The restaurant is lovely, the pub downstairs is fun and the view is gorgeous. I would stay here again and again. Thank you Blue Peter!

Really amazing accommodation. All the staff were friendly, professional and went above and beyond to accommodate me when I had an issue with my room key. I had to check out at 4am and I was okay with not making it for breakfast, however on checkout a breakfast pack had been made and was ready and waiting for me. Thank you for the great hospitality and great service. I will definitely recommend staying here.

Had an awesome experience. Stayed in beach facing room very close to the sea. I enjoyed the waves beating relentlessly on the shore. It was spectacular to hear the sea waves roaring during the night and I also enjoyed the smell of the sea, very refreshing. I strongly recommend this property to anyone who is planning for a getaway.

It was our anniversary and we arrived spontaneously at the hotel restaurant on a Friday with no booking and got a lovely table at the window and great service! We loved the lamb curry and even got a complimentary dessert on our occasion. We thank you and are now clients for life!…

We had a lovely stay. Beds are comfortable with lovely view of the beach. Everything is clean and staff is very friendly. The breakfast is wonderful with many options to choose from and is walking distance from wide range of Restaurants, Pick ‘n Pay and Pharmacy. Will definitely come again on our next trip to Cape Town.
The Lighthouse Restaurant reviews – APRIL 2025
The food and our waiter was of the highest quality. It was my dad’s 70th b day and we couldn’t have had a better evening. The restaurant looks great and the views of the ocean was stunning. Thank you for an unforgettable night that created memories we’ll reminisce about for years to come. Thanks again to Blessed for being awesome!

We had a very good lunch last week. The service was good…we sat inside so not too windy. The Kabelou was excellent. It was a favourite restaurant of ours in the early 70s, then we introduced our daughter to it in 2008 when she lived in Capetown. Apart from the food one has the views of the iconic Table Mountain. Well worth a visit.

We visited the Blue Peter Restaurant a number of times for breakfasts, lunches and sundowners. Their pizzas are amazing! A perfect setting to watch the sun go down. It gets extremely busy as it is a “must visit” spot, so be prepared to wait and enjoy the views. It’s well worth it.
Booking.com reviews – JANUARY 2025
It was perfect from start to finish. Communication was easy and prompt. The place was clean, neat and well-maintained with the most comfortable bed. The view was breathtaking with the Restaurant right next door for food and drinks. Breakfast was delicious. This is the perfect choice!

Dear Sir/Mam,
It will be a great shame if I do not advice you of the fantastic service I received whilst I was at your hotel.
From the security guard to the reception and the waiters, the lady who made my one egg omelette every morning to perfection, it was just next level.
We do not always hand out compliments and your staff deserve a BIG compliment –
Thank you for a fantastic week at your hotel.
I will recommend you where I travel and go
Stay well and a BIG THANK YOU

Dear Blue Peter team and Management
I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the outstanding service provided by your staff during my recent stay. In the midst of a very difficult time, your team’s dedication to excellence truly made a significant impact on my experience.
From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. The genuine care and attention extended by all staff members were not only appreciated but also served as a source of comfort during this difficult period. Their commitment to ensuring a comfortable and welcoming environment did not go unnoticed.
I would like to commend the exceptional efforts of Marilyn, Nadine, Barbara, Nicole and Fortune at the bar, whose kindness and efficiency made a lasting impression. Their willingness to assist and their positive attitude contributed significantly to making my stay memorable for all the right reasons. When we had to move rooms, Marilyn went beyond expectation and did all the moving on our behalf, constantly checking in on us, we were so grateful.
In times when the world can feel overwhelming, encountering such a level of hospitality was truly uplifting. Please extend my gratitude to the entire team for their exceptional service.
I look forward to the opportunity to stay at The Blue Peter again in the future and will not hesitate to recommend your establishment to friends and family.
