overview

Abbey Manor Luxury Guest House was designed by a well known Cape architect at the beginning of the 20th Century and has been lovingly refurbished to create the grand, luxurious guest house it is today. High ceilings, bay windows and an ornate fireplace are further enhanced by carefully chosen details and sumptuous furnishings. Set on the slopes of iconic Table Mountain, Abbey Manor has superb views of the city and Table Bay below, and breathtaking views of the mountain behind.

Being located in the quiet city suburb of Oranjezicht means guests are only a 15-minute walk or a two-minute drive from the city centre. This gives you easy access to many of Cape Town's attractions such as the nearby V&A Waterfront and the beautiful Atlantic Seaboard beaches such as Camps Bay not to mention putting Table Mountain right on your doorstep. Whatever you decide to do, your hostess Judy will be more than happy to give you ideas and advice.

Traveller Reviews

  • We arrived home today and wanted to say thank you for your efforts in arranging our trip. During our stay in Cape Town we had a guide to show us the local sites as well as the surrounding areas, though Table Mountain had to be missed due to the constant rain and low clouds. Note, Abbey manor had agreed to keep their luggage while they went on safari and even allowed for a 20h00 check out on their day of departute - far surpassed expectations.

  • Cape Town reminded me of where I grew up, San Diego, California USA. The city, waterfront, weather, and many other specifics about it was very similar to San Diego. Therefore, I felt right at home. Overall, Cape Town was wonderful. It is a city I hope to return to and spend some additional time in.

    Bryan Merchant, July 2010
  • Abbey Manor was more than I expected and the staff there were very helpful. The location is very intimate, close enough to great restaurants and far enough from the noise. They supplied excellent breakfast.

    Jacques Matone, June 2010
  • Abbey Manor was lovely, and Judi the manager was so helpful. She done all she could to enable us to enjoy and get as much pleasure out of our stay.

    Eileen Hunter, March 2010
  • The beautiful guesthouse was pleasant. The food was great and even more so the view. The staff were lovely, helpful and kind.

  • I loved Cape Town and would move there in a second. The Abbey Manor was excellent and you are right about Judy - she is great. The other person working there was Angela and she was great too. They were both so helpful and the bed and breakfast itself was extremley nice.

  • Abbey Manor House was perfect and the staff there were so helpful and accommodating.

  • What a city! What a metropolis! We weren't expecting tit! That is not Africa!!! At least not the Africa that we are used to. We had a great time during our wonderful 6 day vacation. We've seen it all: the Vineyards, Cape Point, Robben Island, Table Mountain, Camps Bay, Bantry Bay, the Waterfront, the City Center, the Garden...The penguins and the seals... How did it all end up there: you are really blessed!!! The girls just went crazy with all the shops... We are now official fans of Cape Town (a city we all would love to live in!) The host Judi made our stay in Cape Town even better. She was always there for us, giving her advice and phone calling every one. A real great host!!!

    Vitor Santos, April 2009
  • Cape Town was great, we enjoyed the Waterfront in the evenings and our drive to Cape Point was stunning. The only disappointment was the cable car, it was closed because of high winds. Therefore we didn't get to go on Table Mountain but we still we went to Signal Hill and had a wonderful view . Judi was great at Abbey Manor, we really recommend them.

    Malcolm and Linda Holland, February 2009
  • l would like to start by saying that Abbey Manor was a great location to move around from and we throughly enjoyed the "homey-comfortable" atmosphere. We went everywhere possible during our stay, even to the end as well as over to the island.
