Blouberg Manor

The exterior seems to be in good state, besides some construction material standing around. Reception is friendly but not fit for a Manor. The Interior decor is no longer maintained at the status level of a Manor. Moving through the building it seems hollow and worn off. The furniture in the room (8) was mix matched and over crowded. The entertainment (TV) was poorly installed and equipped with limited channels. Bath room facilities was clean and neat. All the taps did not work properly. Fortunately I only had to have one meal, which was acceptable, but for the price... not worth it. Generally I would not stay there again. I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. I only saw the cook and receptionist once in two days. With such a superb location, it would be a pitty to see the Manor go to waist.

As I am writing this, it is with first impressions (I have not spend the night as yet) but based on what I have seen and experienced thus far, I am very concerned! I will start with the positives. Receptionist was welcoming, Building appears respectable from the outside and the location is great! Inside is totally different. Decor needs serious attention, general upkeep of the interior is worn down. Wifi is available, wifi codes are indicated by schoolbook labels all over the walls. Furniture in the in the building has the feel of a second hand furniture shop - as some of the other reviewers mentioned, noisy hallways echoing. Another point that is concerning is the very "positive" posts on this review list seems to be anonymous entries in an attempt to fool potential customers!!! This establishment seems to ride the reputation of a bygone superior establishment era .

We had a great stay at Blouberg manor. But there was no hot water when we wanted to shower. Something to consider when sharing a geyser with another room.

We had a nice, comfortable stay at Blouberg Manor. Friendly staff and the guesthouse is situated in a lovely area.

very noisy , you hear every sound in the house , the cleaners, owner, guests very very noisy, they need to respect others staying in the same house , times is also not constant

I spent a few nights alone at Blouberg Manor guests house, which is ideally located 50m from the beach, 300m from all facilities (restaurants, shops, surf hire boutique, etc) and a 20-minute drive from the centre of Cape Town. The manor is magnificent, with typical architecture that recalls the history of South Africa. The staff are very welcoming and attentive. Rooms are made up daily, with access to the kitchen (if required) and a large lounge/dining room. Access to the Guest House is self-guided, and there is also a private packing house at the side of the building. I really enjoyed my stay at the Manor and will repeat the experience if I come back to Cape Town.
