    We love staying at Hout Bay Manor, not only is it walkable to shops and beach, it's set back off the main road so it's peaceful. It's classy and stylish, personal and the food is great. Highly recommended.

    Other than the breakfast, the time to deliver food was way too long. The hotel should focus on ensuring that food orders are delivered in a reasonable time.

    The hotel, rooms, location and staff were amazing. We travelled as a group and feedback from all was positive.

    Unfortunately the bathrooms were not great, the taps were very difficult to use as was the shower - in my room it had been installed at an angel so you could not run the shower before getting in. The plumbing in my son's room (sink and shower) were extremely loud, which meant they had to use my room whilst the baby was asleep. We did only stay for 1 night so I am unable to say if the bathroom situation would have been fixed if we were staying for a longer period of time. The other downfall of the hotel is the amenities close very early at 10pm so if you are travelling and arrive late, both restaurant and bar are closed

    The hotel is beautiful and very close to town. The staff are extremely helpful and very pleasant. I travelled with my son and his family which included my 1.5yr old grandson, the hotel was very accommodating to our needs and even kept the Chef on later than usual to allow my Daughter-in-law to put her son to bed. Our bedrooms were delightful in decor and the whole hotel and a homely warm to it. We had to leave early for our flight which meant missing breakfast, they kindly put breakfast bags together for us which were really good and full of choice.

    Nothing really. Loved everything about Hout Bay Manor. Note that it is a bit far from the central area of Cape Town, so a car is recommended.

    Absolutely wonderful experience at Hout Bay Manor. Gorgeous house, with beautifully decorated, spacious room. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious, varied, and fresh. The beds are really comfortable, and amenities with everything you need. Would definitely go back.
