A perfect familyrun guesthouse with a professional team and good facilities. Very good region to stay and enjoy the high quality winehouses, restaurants and golfcourses around Stellenbosch and Sommerset. The owners are able to inform you about the best places to go for all type of activities.

If you visit Colourfull Manor you'd best be prepared for ultimate, informal, relaxed hospitality! Starting with a nice breakfast whilst overlooking False Bay and with table Mountain at the horizon. Marjolein and Paul run the Manor and are very happy to assist in any possible way to make your stay exactly the way you like it! Golf, Restaurants, Hiking Trails,... More

My wife and I stayed here for 9 nights on the occasion of our wedding anniversary. Our intent was to play a few rounds of golf, sample the excellent South African cuisine and see some of the sights around Cape Town. Everything we wanted to do was facilitated by Marjolein and Paul, the enthusiastic Dutch couple who own the place.... More

The first contact with Paul en Marjolein was great: enthusiastic, good tips and after some email exchanges we booked a nice package, including golf. The invoice for the deposit would be sent 2 months prior to our arrival. Two weeks before our arrival I contacted them, because I hadn't heard anything. They then asked if we could send the proposal... More

Colourful Manor was a first a bit difficult to locate due to its slightly remote location but what an experience once you get there... The room was great with a fantastic view and enough spaces to spend a full week, despite the fact that we only stayed for a night. It is a great central location if you are to... More

We arrived after a long journey and the place was very easy to find and quite convenient to Cape Town airport. The breakfast the next morning was fantastic and the owners extrememly friendly and accommodating.

Thanks to Paul, Marjolein and Riaan (Orion Stables) we had a beautiful stay at the Colourful Manor. Rooms are very spacious, decent and peaceful. We had the three day horseback riding program at Orion Stables organized by Riaan. Every day he took us to another place (mountains, coast, winelands), so we got never bored of it. Horses are healthy en... More

Colourful manor is situated in a prime location in Gordon's Bay. The amazing views of Strand and Gordons bay are making the spot special. Because it is very centrally located is it easy to go to the several 'must sees' in the area. Don't miss the wine estates in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, The botanic garden(s), The Whales and the great (star)restaurants... More

With hotels in the winelands being so expensive we decided to look a little further and found Colourful Manor. The rooms are well presented & furnished with great views & the hosts were very friendly and helpful. It also gave us the opportunity to explore Betty's Bay, buy some great pottery & enjoy the lovely botanic gardens. Waterkloof restaurant did... More

Loved the spot, the breakfast, the rooms, the wine at the 'honesty bar', the view, the trips that were arranged for us, the weather, the restaurants nearby (Waterkloof!), Paul and Marjoleins hospitality, the golf courses, and so on, and so on. My advice: don't hesitate, book.
