Pineapple House Boutique Hotel
A year-round pool terrace with mountain and pool views
About this hotel
Pineapple House runs its outdoor pool year-round rather than closing it for winter, with a terrace and outdoor seating area positioned to catch both the pool and the mountain in the same view. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, bathrobes and minibars, kept simple rather than themed. The 24-hour front desk and concierge cover the practical side, and the location is a short walk from Broken Bath Beach with the V&A Waterfront 4.4km and Table Mountain 9km away, both easy day-trip distances. A lounge, 24-hour front desk and concierge cover arrivals and requests, and free on-site private parking is included, a genuine convenience for guests arriving by car rather than on foot. A concierge and 24-hour front desk handle late arrivals, and the on-site lounge gives guests a place to wind down once the terrace empties out.

Our take
The year-round pool is the strongest reason to book Pineapple House over a summer-only property, especially for winter travellers who still want a swim on arrival. The terrace's double view of the pool and mountain adds real value for the price point. Breakfast draws consistent praise, which is worth building into the stay given the concierge can also help plan the walk to Broken Bath Beach.
- ✓Book a stay outside peak summer to make the most of the year-round pool without the crowds
- ✓Walk to Broken Bath Beach rather than driving, it's close enough to do on foot
- ✓Ask the concierge for the best terrace hours to catch both the pool and mountain view together
Why we love it
- Outdoor pool that runs open all year
- Terrace with a combined pool and mountain view
- Breakfast selection consistently praised by past guests
- Short walk to Broken Bath Beach
Why guests love itTravellers who book Pineapple House outside peak summer are often surprised the pool stays open and usable year-round, with the terrace framing both the water and the mountain in one sightline. It is a boutique-scale pool rather than a resort one, in keeping with the size of the property, but the short walk to Broken Bath Beach means it never has to carry the whole stay on its own.
