The host was very welcoming, the rooms were well-equipped, clean, quiet and private. Just a few minutes walk to the beach and restaurants. I didn't have time for breakfast but I'm sure that would have been lovely too.

Spectacular views

Reviewed By barryg984

Spent an evening here for our wedding anniversary. The accommodation was everything you would expect from a 4 star establishment. Room beautifully decorated and comfortable. The talking point for us was the view form the veranda and braai area. We could see part of the view from our room as only some of the rooms have a full view, but this is understandable. Breakfast was fine, but you would expect a bigger variety. We felt welcome and could enjoy sundowners on the balcony and actually thought of having a braai at this beautiful place, but opted to go out for supper as the evenings are chilly during this time of the year. Overall, a place we would gladly recommend.

THE WORST ever.. Do not stay here unless you want to spoil your holiday. Filthy throughout.

Reviewed By Kyosamaggie

On arrival we were met by a young lady who could not be bothered to speak to us only beckoned us to our rooms which were dirty and not very well equipped. The bed linen was very off white and pillows stained with black marks. There was no milk in the rooms for coffee and the wifi was supposed to work everywhere but it was not very good at all. There were cobwebs around the windows and doors and outside furniture, looked like this place had not been cleaned in months and there was an open kitchen bin full of stinking rubbish alongside the sitting area. The lady had already left and said she will be back in the morning. She came in and started cooking breakfast, not even asking what we would like and when my sister told her shes vegetarian she just looked away and didnt respond. Either shes downright rude or does not understand english but either way its not good enough to treat your guests like this. When she served breakfast she went outside on her phone, smoking and shut the door. We had to ask for more coffee as she didnt want to speak at all it seemed like too much trouble for her. On leaving she just held her hand out for the keys and walked off. What a terrible place I would NEVER stay here again and it cost us more than some of the other perfect guesthouses.. a total waste of hard earned money.

Sterile

Reviewed By dalmoreguestfarm

The establishment was immaculately clean to the point of being sterile. Overly functional, it lacked any warmth so much so that we couldn’t bring ourselves to stay. It was also more inaccessible from town than we had anticipated.

Manor on the Bay

Situated at the foot of the Steenbras Mountain and overlooking the Ocean and Table Mountain, lies the historical Manor on the Bay. It was built in 1862 and later served as the Summer residence for Sir Alfred Beit family, from Ireland. Yamin and Olivier will host you in their affordable accommodation in picturesque Gordon's Bay, a hidden gem near Cape Town. Manor on the Bay is only 20 paces from the beach, where conditions for swimming and sunbathing are perfect. A walking trail under a canopy of Milkwood trees (unique to this part of the Western Cape) leads to a variety of quality restaurants, bars and a unique bookshop. Another leisurely 3 minutes’ walk will take you to the yacht harbour, from where daily excursions of deep-sea fishing, whale and shark watching / diving and sunset cruises depart. Manor on the Bay provides luxury accommodation in all 12 en suite bedrooms with bed and breakfast. We have disabled friendly rooms & inter-leading family rooms. In addition, we offer function facilities for weddings, cocktail parties and product launches. Manor on the Bay has spectacular sunset views over the ocean and over the Helderberg Mountains. Enjoy our Sunset lounge with amazing views of the ocean or watch the whales in season or the dolphins passing you by. Renowned for personal service and charming staff, Manor on the Bay offers guests the ultimate gift of sublime setting and an unforgettable stay. Manor on the Bay promises to be an idyllic location to rejuvenate oneself, away from the stresses of modern living. Gordon’s Bay is a hidden jewel. Cape Town, the Waterfront and Cape Town International airport are only 40 minutes from our Manor. Following the Whale Route and its breath-taking coastline will get you to Hermanus in 45 minutes. Manor on the Bay is the gateway to the Garden Route and is only 45 from Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, our most respected wine producing areas. We are surrounded by 20 golf courses, most renowned of which are Erinvale, Arrabella and De Zalze. Gordon’s Bay is safe and secure, where walking at any hour, is advised.

Quick but very relaxing weekend

Reviewed By kobusb309

I came down to do the False Bay 50km and booked at the Manor on the Bay guesthouse. The house itself is a mix of preserved heritage but also modernised for the comforts of a guesthouse. The hosts, Olivier and Yamin, really went the extra mile to accommodate my visit, even providing a breakfast hamper to help with the early morning race start. The house is nicely situated and provide ample views of False Bay - a weird view at first given that the ocean seems to run into mountains as far as the eye can see. There is a nice walkway along the beach that takes one to the local eateries - can recommend Talla’s and Zest. So, all within walking distance from the guesthouse. I had a lovely and very relaxing couple of days, so highly recommended.

I had a beautiful stay at this establishment. when you are away from home the last thing you need is not being comfortable. the hosts where great. They are great communicators, welcoming and have a great sense of humor( that helped after being on the road for a while). I will certainly come back here.
