Authentic old Cape style, with all the required modern amenities, were perfect for an overnight stay. Exceptionally friendly staff. The restaurant next door and the overall location made it very convenient.

    “Nice, old style hotel. Comfortable. The restaurant next door is superb.”

  • We had a pleasant stay. The place has a lot of charm, but feels a little run down and tired.

    “I enjoyed the spacious bedroom and bathroom. The air conditioning was working well. I suggest that you put an alternative on the bed, such as a cotton blanket in the very hot summer months. Loved the charm of the old manor house, however I think you need to start to freshen up a little. It is in need of new/clean carpets and a fresh layer of paint in the bedroom and bathroom. Loved the gardens, the views and the charm of the place.”

  • Lovely relaxing experience
