Perfect Holiday Location

The location is perfect, out of the city but still close enough to get to all the attractions by Uber. We particularly liked the feeling of being safe and able to walk along the beach.

Room was spotless. Bed soooooo comfy and ALL the staff were happy and friendly. We stayed same time last year and we were remembered, even by the ladies at breakfast making eggs and the most delicious omelettes. Plus the view is outstanding . Easy enough to get into Cape Town.

Facility and stay were absolutely fantastic. Cannot complain. Views from room and patio are incredible. If we had one disappointment it would be there was no gym facilities. (Understand I’m looking for something negative). Food was fabulous at the restaurant. Would absolutely highly recommend.

Vey nice hotel, with amazing views.

We had a very enjoyable family trip at the Blue Peter Hotel. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. The view across to Table Mountain is outstanding and the hotel is well located for the beach and local amenities. We would definitely go back if we have the opportunity.

Amazing view

The big selling point of the hotel is the view, which is incredible. Aside from that, the room was huge and very tastefully decorated, only let down by a dated bathroom, which was the only real weakness of the stay as a whole. Service and atmosphere also of a really high standard.

Great views of Table Mountain and Robbin Island! Great view of and within close walking distance to beach! Beautiful Breakfast buffet with delicious omelettes and anything else one could want for breakfast. Indoor outdoor restaurant downstairs, excellent menu, reasonably priced. Live small band last night, more formal dining room on second floor. Freindly staff. Just an all around nice friendly, clean quiet, small sized hotel!

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 to our stay it’s 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 night and weekends but that adds to it as there is a really friendly atmosphere with families and lots of people coming to eat and drink. Nice beach literally a few steps from the hotel. It’s a perfect place if you want to get away from the hustle bustle of Cape Town , not loads else nearby but 10 mins down the road there is another area with pubs and restaurants, can walk it it takes about 25 mins or an uber is a couple of pounds. Really is a lovley area

If you looking for something right on the beach, look no further. It might be small but it's one of the best when it comes to service. It's very close to Eden on the Bay so you literally leave everything in your hotel and just walk.
