Fernwood Manor, as described on its website, is a luxury boutique guest house. The house, situated in one of the well established, well-healed Cape Town suburbs, is very elegant and quiet. Our room was very spacious, spotless and nicely appointed (except for the plastic plants!) however, our mattress was a bit on the soft side. The garden is beautiful and... More

I recently spent 6 days in the hotel .I would rate my experience as the best I have ever had. Everything was superb. The welcome, the ambiance, the subtle decor, the catering, all faultless. The staff, no matter their function were discreet and friendly. Sally, the owner, and her assistant Manuela could not have been more accommodating, even personally delivering... More

Fernwood Manor is situated in the safe, quiet district of Newlands on the outskirts of Cape Town. Our holiday lasted four weeks and we stayed in Fernwood Manor on three separate occasions and the same excellence prevailed during each visit. We stay in eight different guest houses on our trip and Fernwood Manor was amongst the very best. The staff... More

I always stay at Fernwood Manor when I visit Cape Town and I am never disappointed. Sally has a great team of staff who place their guests at the centre of all they do. Rooms are maintained to an exceptionally high standard. I particularly like the "turn down" service. Breakfast is always a delight and it takes real willpower not... More

My girlfriends and I stayed at this wonderful B&B a few weeks ago and I was just blown away. It is beautiful, stylish and very comfortable. The staff were the best I have experienced in a long time and of course the owner Sally, who is charming and so very helpful, she even booked an appointment for me to see... More

Our stay in February 2013 was our first at this "boutique" guest house and it will not be the last. From the willingness of staff to stay on duty pending our late arrival, to the welcome palpably evident throughout our stay, we found nothing of consequence wanting. The breakfast was fine - good selection, charming service and the quality of... More

Everything was right about this place. A friendly welcome; beautifully furnished and comfortable rooms; efficient and unobtrusive staff; ideal location. We wish we could have stayed for much longer. Parking is a bit tight - as it fills up things can get a bit awkward with people getting parked in. This is not uncommon in Cape Town.

This bed & breakfast was a wonderful place to spend 4 nights on the Cape peninsula. A friend's daughter's wedding was at the Kirstenbosch Anglican church up the road so the location was ideal.
