Sea Point, Cape Town Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Perfect Breakfast in the morning. Lovely individual and spaces rooms. It is a very charming Guesthouse

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.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and I love the decor. My only suggestions are to at least add a curtain/blinds to the bathroom window and a coat rack of some sort. The room I stayed in was at ground level and the bathroom window did not have any blinds or frosted glass. If tall enough, someone passing by through the sevice entrance could see right into the bathroom and the shower. I walked into the bathroom one morning to brush my teeth and found someone cleaning the outside of the window, my privacy felt violated. I rigged a makeshift curtain, but would have rather liked the comfort of knowing that complete strangers could not peep into the bathroom. I would've liked to have had a coat rack or a coat-hook instead of just a closet with some hangers. Their breakfast was more than enough to help kick off a day of exploring Cape Town. The V&A Waterfront is a 30+ minute walk from the guesthouse by way of the promenade and about 10 minutes by taxi. There are plenty of restaurants and pubs within walking distance on the Main Road of Sea Point.

Beautiful boutique hotel close to the beach, public Olympic-size pool and plenty of cafes and restaurants in Seapoint. Very helpful staff with regard to taxi arrangements, things to do, etc.

our apartment was very clean and furnished with a lot of thougt. The kitchen was really well equipped and we had everything to cook out own meals which saved a lot of money. the bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed having proper duvets instead of the blankets and sheet we found in a lot of other places. The complex was really great. Nice sized pool and lawn, a good bbq area and we really felt like being in Africa with all the thatch and african decoration. A real oasis in the busy Cape Town. Parking was inside the complex behind electric fences and so we did not have to worry about any breakins. All in all a very pleasant stay, with good insider tips from the staff who were all more than helpful. We will definately be back

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

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.

This is a 5-star location in my opinion. Loved the place. Comfortable, clean, helpful staff, great location, sfe and secure. Proprietor is a great lady, will do business any day.

Nice place to stay. We stayed in one of the Victorian Villas opposite the main guesthoust building and really enjoyed it. If you stay in one of the villas you have your own private room with bathroom and you share the kitchen, living room and patio with guests of the 2nd room. It is a very friendly set up and you help yourself to beers in the fridge (you just write down what you have taken so they can bill it to your room) and free tea and coffee (you can cook your meals if you want to). The Villas are lovely with wooden floors and nicely decorated and very clean. Although it is about a 20/30 minute walk to the waterfront, there are buses or shared taxis you can take for 50 pence and the area is very safe. We walked around at night without any problems.
