Had such an awesome time. Service was good. Rooms were perfect! Awesome and friendly service. The breakfast as amazing! Got to try it. They also have good wine. Did not like the beer. It's a local beer called castle. Rather stock castle light. They have a nice cider savana which is also locally made in South Africa. On a hot... More

We were supposed to stay in the Sweet Orange Guest House but the moment we arrived there they told us they gave us an upgrade to the Sweet Ocean View Guest House. What a great experience! Because we were a family with four they gave us one of the small houses for ourselves. It is really nice to have your... More

My wife and I arrived late in the night at Cape Town Airport. We previously booked an Airport Transfer Shuttle with the hotel, knowing that we would be tired and with no desire to have to look for a taxi in the middle of the night. Everything was arranged for us: what a luxury! As we arrived at the Guesthouse,... More

Although we had showers after shower when we stayed here, we certainly had a good time at the guesthouse. The warm wood fire, and warm welcome of the staff was breath taking. The breakfast was excellent. And the rooms were very nice decorated, clean and warm. Remind you (some loose remarks): the sea is nearby, but not visible from this... More

Nice place, though the name is a bit deceiving as there is actually no oceanview. Rooms very big, very well decorated and comfortable. Bathroom looked very nice though a little more pressure in the shower would make it even better. I had breakfast once and it was delicious. Only small detail is that the internet nor the tv were working... More
