Businesss in Sea Point

Great people, great location, great help when needed. All around great experience. Excellent excellent staff. My husband and I couldn't have been more pleased. We could rely on the people working there for any and all of our needs and answers to our questions. All we had to do was enjoy our vacation. (Which we did. Immensely ). Everything from a post office to a drug store to a church to the beach was within easy walking distance. Plus it was perfectly safe. We would love for the rest of our family to visit and stay there.

Staff especially helpful. When taxi did not show, bellman drove me to car rental place himself.

We stayed at Winchester Mansions for our week long stay in Cape Town and thoroughly enjoyed it. We didn't get a sea view but considering the noise of crashing waves from the hotel's front I wouldn't say that was necessarily a bad thing! We had a 'mountain view' instead, still a very good room. The front desk staff were great and always keen to help or advise (the free shuttle to the V&A Waterfront was really useful), the restaurant is of high standard and the hotel bar is a popular haunt for locals looking for a few drinks after work. The room decor could perhaps do with a little updating but was still good and, if anything we felt we were being 'over-serviced' ... a lot of staff tasked with cleaning rooms and serving in the restaraunt! The best thing about the hotel is it's look and feel, by far the prettiest in Sea Point. The open courtyard and external corridors give it a really clasy feel inside as does the view when looking back towards it from the sea front. The location is pretty good, taxis into the centre of town or down to Camps Bay are relatively cheap and, if need be, the front desk will arrange for the driver to take you if he's available (similar price). The free shuttle to the V&A Waterfront is great though, came in very useful. All in all, a very pleasant place to stay ... but what is the golf putting equipment in the corridors about, really?

Everyone at the hotel was real friendly and helpful. They went the extra mile to assist with information and directions. Hotel and room were very clean. Food and service was top quality.

We had an amazing stay here. Its situated 5 mins taxi ride from the main waterfront and a 30 sec walk to the sea. They catered for our every need and sorted all our trips and problems for us. Absolutely superb place to stay for the cost. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Can not fault the place.

I was positively surprised by this little treasure. The place is like home from home, the garden and the sea view is wonderful and the hospitality of the owners is just amazing.

Small boutique hotel near the beach but not on the beach in Capetown. We stayed at the luxury room and the penthouse room. Luxury room was nice but had issues: two large cockroaches in the room as soon as we walked in, shower drain blocked. Small bathroom but had a kitchen with microwave and refrigerator which we really didn't need. Penthouse room was large, clean and the bathroom was large as well. Modern furniture. Nice large balcony. Only downside to the small hotel is that the "concierge"/registration is only open to 7PM so when you come to the hotel after that only the security guard is there to let you in. The A/C in our room was broken when we came back to the penthouse room our second night and we were told "nothing they can do. come back in the morning." It was hot and we did not want to open windows since mosquito season so that was unpleasant. Also, we had a safe in the room but the electronic safe didn't work only to be told as we were checking out that someone should have told us that the safe can be accessed with a key. We also tried to reach someone in the office during the day (called at least 5 times?) since we knew we would be in after 7PM when office is closed but no one answered the phone. The breakfast by the pool in the morning was nice. Staff is in the kitchen to take your orders for eggs, etc. We would consider staying in the penthouse room again.

We were booked for Sweet Orange but because they were re-doing the floors there, they upgraded us to their Sweet Ocean View property -- where Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman stayed when filming Invictus. The hotel is lovely and minutes from the ocean and public swimming pool. The staff are friendly and accommodating.
