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

Unfortunately there was no room in the main building so I had to stay across the road in the blue house. The room was claustrophobic small. I could not raise the Venetian blinds although the view was not very interesting, just a covered back yard. No air conditioning, just a fan by the door. No soap in the shower, the... More

We thank the traveler for his review and we would like to respond as follows: It is true, that our Sweet Ocean View Guesthouse consists of the main building as well as three exclusive Private Units which we call the “Victorian Houses”. They are located right across the main building. Each Victorian House offers the same standard as the main... More

The service was great, we didn't get in til midnight, but they were happy to help us out. The location is great, right... More

The hotel is really nice with comfortable gust houses across the street (with2-3 bedrooms, living room and kitchen) for families. Good and calm neighborhood and you can walk to restaurants at night. Great breakfast where you meet other guests and share tips on what to see in Cape Town. 5 minutes walk to the hop-on/hop-off buses to see CT.
