We stayed at the Colourful Manor recently for 7 nights. It is an excellent guest house with modern and well equipped rooms. The hospitality of the owners is excellent and makes you feel very comfortable staying there. The area is great if you are looking to explore more than just the usual Cape Town. Highly recommended!

This is a beautiful modern property, with very roomy stylish guest rooms, with lots of attention to detail. Lots of nice amenities to be found upon arrival. A very cosy feel. Great breakfasts, do have a huge latte, it's worth the tiny extra fee.. Paul and Marjolein are wonderful hosts, very good at finding the right time for a chat... More
