On entering the Guest House I felt the warmth eminated. The guest house had wonderful staff from Malawi greeting me and showing me around. I stayed in one of their upstairs rooms called the "superior room". I honestly loved the colonial feel to the place, the cleaness and helpful owner who somehow never said no. I was fetched from the... More

Due to changes in our itinerary we required a hotel room for one night. I found this Guesthouse offering an excellent rate, the room was described as a "queen". We found ourselves at the back end of the hotel, which appeared to be a warren of rooms. On entering the "queen" we had to carefully plan where we could open... More

You were offered an upgrade to another... More

What a way to end a trip, at Mountain Manor guest house, right under table mountain, close to shops and a short taxi ride to the waterfront and the beaches. Charming staff and Michelle, the owner was a wonderful host. She couldnt have made my stay any more comfortable. Very good value for money More

This place is a joke and the whole establishment is run like the associated back-packers' lodge: - no staff visible after 9.00pm - a self service bar - furniture from a junk shop - dirty carpets - terrible decoration and dangerous looking wiring - jemmied doors with recently fitted locks - hardly offering confidence - a condom in the bathroom...

I find this review amazing. In a 3 star property which ozzes Cape colonial charm and antique furniture (tasteful antique furniture at that) to be called a junk shop is amazing. We have brand new carpets in most of the rooms and hallways - I dont understand what this person is talking about. Jimmied walls - hardly - in order... More

We stayed with a large group (we had almost the entire facility) - the staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms really vary in size and amenities - we got one of the smallest rooms, which was fine except for the shortage of power outlets (there was only one that we could use, so we had to schedule times to...

We arrived late on a Saturday night , fatigued after being on the go for 20 hours, and were desperate to have a nice homely welcome and a cup of tea before settling down for the night. However, when we were shown our self catering apartment, our worst fears were realised. 2 teabags,sugar, but no milk for our tea. The... More

To whom it may concern I am absolutely amazed by your review and also wish to ask if you posted the 2 photo's next to your review???

I've noticed that there are some mixed reviews for Mountain Manor and I think this is because they also offer accommodation outside the "manor", which seems to be to a much lower standard. We were in 404 Serengeti, a one-bedroom self-catering apartment in a block of flats opposite the street from the house that features on most of their pictures.... More

We spent a couple of days at this conveniently located Manor House in the self catering apartment - 17 Arniston. The unit was very clean and spacious on the ground floor overlooking the lovely pool area with loungers and bar tables/chairs. We had a great stay in C.T. and it was a pleasure coming home to this beautiful manor house.... More

What you see on the internet is certainly not what you get. The restoration of this charming property is second rate and looks like it was done by a not too handy man. The appliances and the electrical wiring were dodgy at best but at least the beds were reasonably comfortable. The current AA rating (as per the certificate in... More

We were comfortable and the location ideal. Many thanks for installing the ceiling fans since the heat was unbearable. Points to note: the bath is too high and the ledge around the bath is too wide. This makes it a hazard getting in and out, perhaps you could instal a shower stall since the bath room is large enough. The... More
