Because we had always been a bit parsimonious with our holiday budget, my wife and I decided to "push the boat out" on our first trip to South Africa. So we arranged a "tailor made" holiday through Southern Africa Travel, a Cape Town based travel agent (known localy as Giltedge Travel), which had been recommended by a friend. We told... more

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Abbey Manor for a few days at the end of a cruise and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it . The hotel is warm and friendly and Judi , our welcomer , guide , fount of knowledge of all things in Capetown and manager of the hotel was terrific .... more

What makes Abbey Manor so special is the unique and personalised service you get here. This was the first stop on our honeymoon and after travelling over night it was such a relief to be welcomed so warmly and taken to a beautiful room overlooking Cape Town from the front and Table Mountain behind.

The staff are trained to the highest quility. The warmness of the house is amazing and the nothing's to big for us to handle attitude is heart warming. A must for anyone coming to Cape Town, be it for 1 day or 10. more

We had a perfect stay at Abbey Manor. It's a truly charming home with a wonderful staff (especially Judi and Mike), clean and spacious rooms (especially No 1 with its two balconies), and an incredible breakfast. I would both recommend it as well as stay there again. more

We both remember Abbey Manor and the standard set by Judi by which we will judge anywhere else that we stay. My Wife still talks about the... more

We (family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers) arrived at Abbey Manor after a long flight and a less than helpful car rental experience, but the welcome we received at Abbey Manor more than made up for it. Judi and her staff were always helpful, suggesting places to visit and how to get there. The rooms were excellent, clean and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Abbey Manor for just 2 nights at the end of a 3 week trip to South Africa as we had visited Cape Town before. Our room which was the large black and white room at the front of the house with spectacular views over Cape Town was luxurious and comfortable in every way.... more
