Would definitely return

Although we booked Sweet Orange, we actually ended up staying in Sweet Olive which was delightful. However I did see Sweet Orange for a bit and it was very pretty, comfortable and the staff were very helpful.

Very unique guesthouse - well decorated, while also being spacious and comfortable. Beds are very comfortable, bathrooms are clean although my bathroom was in need of some repairs to the shower doors. Great breakfast, and I really like the drinks and snacks available at a reasonable cost on the honor system.

Although the rooms have double doors for sound proofing the wooden floors does not help if late comers or early leavers walk like elephants in the passage and the staff can also try and be a little considerate with this problem.

Good location but noisy

With this place having received quite positive reviews upon my booking we were disappointed to not experience it in the same fashion. It is a beautiful old house with loads of character and reception was friendly. Unfortunately the old house with its beautiful old wooden floors also meant it was a very noisy hotel. We were able to hear everyone come and go 24/7! Not great if you planning on running the two oceans ultra marathon the next day! There was no DSTV, our shower leaked and bedding was ripped. Street parking only. Will regretfully not go back or recommend.

We were upgraded from Sweet Orange to Ocean View, they are owned by the same person. The staff and manager especially were very helpful and friendly. Very comfy and homely feel, and extremely clean. I would stay there again and highly recommend it.

Sweet Ocean View is great

We were booked for Sweet Orange but because they were re-doing the floors there, they upgraded us to their Sweet Ocean View property -- where Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman stayed when filming Invictus. The hotel is lovely and minutes from the ocean and public swimming pool. The staff are friendly and accommodating.

Friendly, relaxed & comfortable.

The Sweet Orange Guest House is a small, well maintained and friendly place to stay in Cape Town. Not far by car to all major attractions and located within walking distance of some very good restaurants. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully clean. The idea of all guests sitting together at the kitchen table for breakfast was a novel idea and a good way to chat to other travellers from all over the world. Our welcome as we checked in was extremely detailed and very helpful.
