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... More

Excellent location, close to main city, in fact you can just use a taxi! Rooms were tastefully decorated and houses were very private. Staff gives attention to finest detail. Breakfast was exquisite and excellent value for money.

Sorry, I wrote a review already to Booking.com, should have done it only to you: It was wonderful to stay there, everything was good.

Sweet Orange was a perfect place to stay for our family ( with a 9year old daughter). The place is quaint, comfortable, helpful friendly staff who went out of their way to get us a taxi to the airport when ours didn't show up. Great location, walking distance to lots of restaurants and the breakfasts were sublime! I will recommend... More

We had a great stay here, extremely comfortable bed, lovely room, superb breakfast, great location. But it's noisy - you hear the staff arrive at 5am and move around, can't be helped, old floorboards.

We Thank the TripAdvisorMember for their review and open critics. Our Sweet Orange Guesthouse was built over 100 years ago and we still feature the original wooden floors, doors & windows. Therefore it is true that some movements sneak through. We apologize for the disturbance of the staff members, which start in the morning at 07h00 and they should enter... More

We loved to stay in the Sweet Orange Guesthouse. It felt like home from the beginning on. The rooms are nice, big and clean. The staff was very friendly as it was helping us with some tourbookings etc. Additionally it's very well situated, as the waterfront and the civic center are only 10 minutes drive away.

Very comfortable and large room with a great shower! We liked it a lot! Staff were very friendly and helpfull. The only problem was that we didn´t have wifi at our room because it was in another building next to the main one.
