The Manor House

Cape Town

4 Rooms

|

From $660 per person/night

Four suites, one mountain and a very convincing case for never leaving your balcony.

There are hotels that swallow you whole — enormous lobbies, endless corridors, a breakfast buffet the size of a football pitch. And then there's this: four suites tucked into a quietly distinguished property at the V&A Waterfront, where the ratio of Table Mountain to fellow guests is refreshingly, almost ludicrously, in your favour. Adjacent to the Queen Victoria Hotel and sitting snugly within the secure Waterfront precinct, this is the kind of place that feels more like a borrowed townhouse than a hotel — old-world charm in the bones, properly modern comforts throughout. Cape Town's best restaurants, boutiques and harbour are moments away on foot, yet the double-glazed windows and intimate scale mean you'd never know it. For those who find conventional hotels a little... impersonal, consider this a very agreeable alternative.
