About

Pineapple House Boutique Hotel

Pineapple House Boutique Hotel sits on Irwinton Road, roughly a 5-minute walk from Our Lady of Good Hope and within reach of Clifton and Camps Bay beaches. It's a 3-star property that leans on personality: parquet floors, garden furniture, and a pool that guests actually use.

The hotel is small enough to feel personal, with a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and a paid airport shuttle. The Superior Double Room adds a pool view, coffee machine, and a private terrace with Lion's Head views.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Depends on a car or shuttle — The hotel offers parking and a paid airport shuttle, but some attractions like Signal Hill are a 10-minute drive away, so guests without transport may need to plan.
  • No pets allowed — The policy is clear: no pets, so travellers with animals should look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is strict — You can only check in between 14:00 and 23:59; late arrivals outside this window may cause issues.
  • Small rooms for some — The Small Double Room is compact, which could feel tight for longer stays or those with lots of luggage.
