We had such a nice weekend, due in part to our stay at your lovely guesthouse. All staff from front desk to breakfast delivery to room cleanliness and the little touches is all fantastic. It was perfect in every way. Better than anticipated and we really appreciated the hospitality we received, along with the fantastic room & all the extras.... More

In a luxurious House, with a warm welcome, I spent a nice night in that place. Some rooms have a fantastic view on the bay. Maybe is it a little bit expensive, compared to other places, especially if you are travelling by yourself.

It will help if you can put more lights and maybe paving to walk to the stairs for rooms 11 at night. We really enjoyed our stay. Everyone is friendly and helpfull and we would defnitively visit Manar on the Bay again. The rooms are very nice, much space and pretty views.

Dear reader I have personally made contact with Jaco to apologise and explain. He replied and was thankful for my feedback and honesty. To summarise my email to him: 1. We are aware that the arrival of a guest is very important and clearly did not give him/them the welcome they deserve / expected. Truely sorry. 2. We were busy... More

It is well located for lovely drives down the coast to Betty's Bay, Pringle Bay and on to Hermanus. Noleen, one of the managers recommended some fantastic wineries... More

For my birthday in September, I made a booking (with a voucher) for this guesthouse as the reviews were excellent! Unfortunately, the weather did not play along and it was extremely rainy and misty the whole day and night. This was disappointing to say the least, as we were in one of the upper rooms which usually has a superb... More

Gordon's Bay is a little sleepy, but its quite beautiful too, especially in the late afternoons. Manor on the Bay is a wonderful guest house. Extremely comfortable and elegant, it is walking distance from the beach and restaurants, and the room we stayed in had a magnificent view. Staff is friendly, and breakfast was very good too.

We enjoyed our first trip to Manor on the Bay earlier in the year that we returned a couple of months later. Karin and her team are excellent, with attention to detail in the rooms great.
