Hout Bay Manor

This is a beautiful historical building, lovingly restored. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The breakfast is very good. The overall experience is one of beauty, comfort, courtesy and rest.

We recently stayed at the Hout Bay Manor, occupying two rooms overlooking the courtyard. The Manor has always been a lovely place to meet up with friends being surrounded by the oldish charm, and an eclectic aesthetic. However, in my experience, front of office service sets the tone for the duration of your stay, and this was very unwelcoming. There was no warmth, in stark contrast to the ambiance of The Manor. I truly hope that this could be rectified to make guests feel more welcome.

We had a lovely room, which was comfortable. The welcome was good, but i was diappointed to learn a double/queen bed was not available , we had to settle for 2 singles. Breakfast was lovely , and there are nearby restaurants. Parking was on the roadside , not within the hotel grounds, and assistance with luggage was slow or absent.
