Sweet Orange Guesthouse

We enjoyed our stay at the Sweet Orange. The staff are all so friendly, helpful, and very professional. The house is decorated beautifully and we enjoyed sitting outside in the courtyard for breakfast each morning. The location could not get any better! It's within short walking distance to 2 of our favourite restaurants in Sea Point: La Boheme and La Perla. Not to mention the seawall which is totally safe to walk along to watch the sunset. A few cons: the pool didn't get much sun during the day so it was freezing cold and only good for a quick plunge, and there was construction (or a car workshop, we never did find out) nearby and it was noisy during the day. My fiance and I have also stayed at The Sweet Olive and we honestly preferred that property (only a few block away), it feels more like a 5 star for the same price. For one thing, the bathroom is about 3 times the size. However, if the Sweet Olive isn't available, definitely go ahead and book at the Sweet Orange. You won't regret it.

Sweet Orange has a friendly, cosy and informal atmosphere. S.O. has a lovely breakfast with possibilities to eat in the garden or outside. The hosts and personnel are very helpful. It is well located even if you haven´t a car. The beach, good walks and the sights are not far away. Even walking you easily get , for instance, to V&A Waterfront. The pool is not for swimming its more for cooling off.
