Running a guest house in Cape Town means managing the practical realities of hospitality in a water-conscious, load-shedding-affected city. The Orangery handles what actually happens when you're hosting guests — managing linen turnover, maintaining reliable hot water despite supply challenges, sourcing breakfast provisions that work within current municipal constraints, and dealing with the logistics of seasonal tourism swings. Good guesthouses here aren't about flashy marketing; they're about consistently solving the unglamorous problems that make guests comfortable when infrastructure is unpredictable. From water management to keeping generators running smoothly, the operational side is what separates competent hosts from overwhelmed owners.

In Cape Town, guest houses in Sea Point and Green Point offer City Bowl proximity with better value than equivalent-quality Atlantic Seaboard properties, and both areas have strong walkability and safety. The December–January peak inflates prices sharply — the same property can cost three times more in January than in June. For visitors attending events at the Cape Town Convention Centre or the V&A, De Waterkant guest houses minimise transport time significantly.
