Manor on the Bay

Perched on the Gordon's Bay seafront, just 20 paces from Bikini Beach, this colonial beach guesthouse looks out over the ocean and Table Mountain. Minutes from the yacht harbour and whale‑watching departures, it’s a handy base for Kogel Bay, Helderberg Nature Reserve and nearby wine estates like Lourensford and Flagstone. Cape Town and Cape Town International Airport are about 40 minutes away.

Housed in an 1862 manor, the property mixes historic bones with individually decorated rooms. Expect private balconies or patios, minibars and fridges, flat‑screen TVs and en‑suite bathrooms (some with deep soaking tubs). The place offers interleading family rooms and disabled‑friendly options, plus a sunset lounge for ocean views and relaxed evenings.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, wander the terrace and garden, or book tours and excursions at the desk. Wedding and function services are available, and there’s a library, picnic and barbecue areas, plus beauty and wellness facilities. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and easy access to harbour trips for fishing, whale watching and diving.

Event space includes about 538 sq ft (50 m²) of conference and meeting room area. Practical touches include complimentary Wi‑Fi, luggage storage, laundry services, free self parking and an airport shuttle (surcharge).

A bar/lounge is on site and a complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 8:00–10:00. Stroll a short walk to nearby restaurants and seafood spots, or explore wines from the surrounding Cape winelands for a true local flavor.
