Detailed Reviews
Pineapple House just opened its doors in December 2019 and is welcoming its guests with a big smile and open heart. This boutique hotel used to be a private home and is now owned by a lovely couple who just live next door with their kids.
Being a boutique hotel, Pineapple House has just 9 rooms, each one individually and beautifully designed and created to maximize space. I stayed in "four oh one" - the beautiful yellow painted one with a balcony and an amazing view of Lions Head. I hardly wanted to leave my hideaway as you get spoiled by a comfy bed and all the lovely little details and facilities. But just staying in the room would be a shame since it is so much fun spending time in the cozy, colourful living room, by the small plunge pool or in the open kitchen where you can have a chat with other guests or with your hosts.
Breakfast is being served until 11.00 (how great is that?) and freshly prepared by Chef Patrick (who makes a super yummy Omelette, I can tell you). A freshly brewed coffee completes the start to the day.
Sea Point as such is a great area to hang out. Beaches, restaurants, quirky Mojo Food Market and even a Yoga studio are in walking distance. City Centre, Clifton and Camps Bay can easily be reached by Uber.
Coming home from an adventurous day was always great as someone would welcome you with a smile and a drink and great stories to be shared in the evening. Nick and the guys will even teach you some Xhosa if you want to learn more about their local language (highly recommended and lots of fun). If you ever feel like hiding from the world you will, however, enjoy discretion and full privacy.
I stayed for 6 nights (couldn't resist extending after the 2 nights which I booked initially) and truly felt like a family member when I left. I can highly recommend this place if you like small, intimate, stylish and yet comfy and discrete hotels with passionate hosts. They will take good care of you and assist with anything to make your stay just perfect (they would even spend a whole day discussing with a car rental company that is cheating on you even if you have made this booking all by yourself and it wasn't none of their business).
Thank you Rupert, Leslie, Llyod, Theo, Nick, Patrick and Milani for treating me so well and I hope to be back very soon.

Pineapple house is a fabulous place to stay. The rooms were luxurious, spotless and cosy. The staff went over and above to assist us and gave us a warm welcome. The location is perfect and we could easily walk to a coffee shop or go for a stroll along the beachfront. The design of the rooms and overall experience show that the owners and staff pride themselves on ensuring their guests enjoy their time away.
We will most definitely be back.

The hotel is well located, nicely designed, has friendly and helpful staff and it does have nice rooms.
I was unfortunate to get the attic room as it was the last one left. The only areas where you can stand upright are the entrance and the bathroom. One quarter of the room is completely unusable unless you like crawling around on your knees. I walked slightly bent over all the time and it's a miracle I only hit my head once. The architect/interior designer really did their best and some people might find it cosy or quirky but the room should only have been used for storage, not for guests.
One positive thing about the room is that it has many roof windows that you can open to have fresh air at night but like me don't like air-conditioning. The area is quiet and mosquitoes are virtually non-existent at least in this part of Cape Town.

The Pineapple House Boutique Hotel is beautifully decorated - the pineapple motto is found in many places - in the windows, the staff's clothing, and as butter at breakfast. The rooms are very attractively decorated and cozy. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was always freshly prepared. There is a small buffet with goodies. In addition, you can order egg dishes, which are prepared in the open kitchen. The location in SeaPoint is ideal for excursions in Cape Town. We felt very comfortable and will gladly come again. :)

I booked a 4 night stay via booking.com in a deluxe room. The room showed on booking.com is a yellow room with a rooftop terrace and fantastic views of Lions head. The room I got was a pink room on the middle floor with a street facing balcony with no view thanks to the security shutters.
I spoke to the guy on the desk who explained this happens all the time when bookings are made on booking.com as they have 3 "delux rooms" their booking system allocates you one and usually the first to check in gets the best pick. He did offer to switch our room on our last night but we both agreed theres not much point by then.
The breakfast is good, not amazing but you can see the guys freshly prepare everything in the morning for you.
One thing worth mentioning is the large construction site two doors down that start work at around 8am. Obviously the hotel can't be blamed for this
The hotel itself has fantastic decor and has an altogether nice environment. Just the situation with the room has left a bitter taste that needs to be addressed if it happens frequently.

Pineapple House is beautifully decorated, fun and funky. Each room is different which makes it feel more like a home. It is cleverly designed to maximise the space - although the rooms are small they equipped as 5 star. The hotel is well positioned and an easy walk to the promenade. The owners are hands-on and live next door. The staff are friendly and accommodating. It is really worth a list.

We recently got to stay at the Pineapple House Hotel in Sea Point and I would highly recommend them to anyone travelling to the area.
The staff are just amazing. Very attentive and most helpful. The finishes in the decor and room layouts are well thought through and very stylish.
The location could not be better. Tugged away from the busyness, jet close enough for you to enjoy that magic of Cape Town. Close to great beaches, major attractions and great restaurants to chose from.
The property is great value for money.

Fab small hotel less than 100 metres from the seafront. Staff were cheerful, attentive and polite. Breakfast was fantastic, room had really comfortable beds and great decor. Shower was spot on. Parking available if you bring a car, or less than 70R in Uber to go to V&A, Table Mountain or city centre.

I stayed at the Pineapple House for two nights in one of their Premier Deluxe rooms and truly had a comfortable and lovely experience.
The environment was very relaxing, the breakfasts were fresh & scrumptious and the staff were absolutely friendly & accommodating. I love the distinctive interior design theme which is consistent throughout the boutique hotel. From my experience and observations, it is clear that attention to detail and the comfort & convenience of guests is taken into consideration with every aspect of this lovely boutique hotel.
Pineapple House is definitely an unforgettable accommodation option that tops my list.
