The last two nights we stayed in a small house in the garden. This was quiet, but had quite a lot of insects. The garden had many insects as... More

Sweet Lemon is 1 out of 4 related B&B’s at Seapoint, Capetown. The location is OK near the Ocean, not too far from the Waterfront, and a convenient starting point for a day-trip to Cape Point. The friendly breakfast / cleaning lady was present during office hours. The receptionist (a young German intern) was nomadic, as she served several of... More

This B&B is OK. Nothing more and nothing less. I expected a bit more of it but nevertheless I had a great time in Capetown and in South-Africa in general. The breakfast was one of the best things in this B&B. Alot of variety, top!

We were very disappointed with our visit to this b&b. The decor was nice enough and the honesty bar a convenient option but we had 2 issues during our stay. The most significant issue was the layout of the property and sound proofing. We had the room at the front of the property downstairs (called the courtyard). The first issue... More

We booked Sweet Orange but had to move to Sweet Lemon, not sure of the reason. We were given a cottage in the garden near the pool, sounds lovely but not so. It has a spiral stair case that was very difficult to use without banging head or shoulder. Moved the next day, to a better room, the problem with... More

This little place was adorable. Great location, great service, great experience. Staff was very helpful. Decorated super cute and cozy. The one downside to our room, (not sure if all the rooms are this way) was the bathroom. The room was one big room with the toilet just behind a little divider. A little awkward. But that said, I would... More
