    Organized and house-like feel. Breakfast was delicious and all the staff is extremely friendly. We left the car out front and it was alright. Honestly, the only down side I see is that we only stayed there for a day and couldn’t visit the pool

    Perfectly situated in sea point and walking distance to many great cafes as well as the walking promenade along the water. The daily breakfast was such a treat and the staff couldn’t have been more kind. The room was comfortable and cleaned...

Property info

**Construction notice and discount underneath At Sweet Orange we strive to give guests a boutique and curated, local living stay in Cape Town. While walking along the wooden floors of this house, you can’t help but wonder about those who have walked before you in the last 100+ years. By honouring the Victorian heritage of the house, and mixing it up with modern design, Sweet Orange will give you a true, colourful and unique Mother City experience. ** From April 2023 there will be construction happening next door to us which will be noisy at times. So if you're an avid traveler who is out most of the day, or a business traveler- then this is the time for you to make use of our discounted prices!
