We loved everything about Manor on the Bay! It was an amazing stay at this immaculate and spotlessly clean four-star property situated right by the beach in Gordons Bay. It is run by the owners, Oliver, who is French and Yamin who is Burmese, who live on the site, which is a big plus in our eyes! Nothing was too much trouble for them. They advised on restaurants, places to go, booked a manicure, provided an extra pillow, plates for a picnic, and iron aand ironing board. It has large beautiful comfy rooms with Kingsize beds, tv with Sky, small fridge and kettle and three of their rooms have mini kitchens which I would advise if booking for a longer stay as you could then buy food from Woolworths( equivalent to Waitrose) situated a mile away. Breakfast was superb each day with wonderful French music playing as we were eating. Such a good choice of food too. The property is only 22 miles away from the airport and close to all the vineyards, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Cape Town. It was perfect in every way!

Nothing to dislike!

Loved our stay!! The family room we stayed in had the most wonderful view of the ocean. Was lovely sipping wine & looking through beautiful trees onto the beach in the evenings. The sea was also quite warm for Cape Town…. An easy pop across the road to a lovely beach makes it super easy with young kids. Breakfast was great! They even had gluten free muffins for us! The room was also very large & super comfortable. Thank you! We will definitely be back!

Noting! Loved everything!!!

Although a short one night stay our hosts Yamin & Olivier made us feel at home from the first minute. From the welcome sherry, the honesty bar in your room and the goody bag on departure the small touches made all the difference. The breakfast was a feast with a good variety of options and one of the best I have had on my many travels. Yamin & Olivier could not do enough to make you feel welcome.

The only thing to not like was that we were not staying there longer! When travelling we do not go out of our way to look for faults but even if we did, we couldn't find anything to spoil this short stay.

Wonderful property. The rooms have a wonderful view and are very comfortable! The beach is just across the street and restaurants are nearby. The owners are very friendly and welcoming! We felt like home and would defenetly come back. Thank you for the welcome -drink, our lunch box for our early travel to the airport, organizing a transfer for us and especially hosting us in such a welcoming and friendly way !

The breakfast was excellent and the hosts very accommodating and welcoming. The house has an interesting history too, which I found fascinating. We were in the area for a wedding and The Manor was a perfect location from which to get to all the activities and the reception during the course of our stay.

The tables were beautifully set , very classy. We were thoroughly pampered with a buffet breakfast which included toast , eggs, yoghurts and cereals , meats and cheeses with fresh croissants. Plenty of assorted tea / coffee and juice. Our hosts were attentive and accommodating . Nothing was too much trouble. We were allowed early check in and late check out. We were allowed additional parking time on the property even though we had checked out. We had all our needs met by our gracious and attentive hosts Yamin and Olivier. Thank you for an outstanding weekend, we will most definitely return in the future!🙏🏻❤️

Everything was wonderful!

The Manor on the Bay is a beautiful guest house located directly on the water. The rooms are squeaky clean, the beds outstanding and the breakfast excellent! Parking facilities on the premises make it easy to come and go. Last, but not least, Jenny, Sebastiaan and their son are wonderful hosts that go out of their way to enable a pleasant. Highly recommended!

Room was large and well appointed. Big bathroom with good size shower and bath. The bed was large and very comfortable. The owners and staff were very helpful, and when out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Will definitely return when visiting Gordons Bay again. Good restaurants within walking distance. Manor on the Bay is central to Stellenbosch, Pringle Bay, Franschhoek, Bettys Bay, Hermanus, Cape Town all within an hour's drive.

Nothing we did not like

The Breakfast was very good so thank you for the care you prepared it with. The Manor has a wonderful location and setting and we would like to return to it and hopefully in better weather!

The room is clean, spacious and one can see that housekeeping is done by well trained personnel. The view was macnificent and that helped a lot when the weather was not that good. Choice of wine is also good.

An absolute gem in front of Gordon’s bay. Everything was just perfect. This is literally three steps away into white sand beach and 5min walk to lovely restaurants. The Manor is impressive, very relaxed, rooms have super comfy bed, soft towels. Breakfast was delicious too. We were offered also beach towels and a nice sunset drink.

Maybe add a plate and some cutlery in the room so that guests can arrange their apero.
