We stayed at Manna Bay recently for four nights, having been booked there through a travel agent. The place could not be any more beautiful and unique. And the staff were dedicated to helping us with any and every detail of enjoying Cape Town. Have 24 hour bar service with the wonderfully enthusiastic capetowns made it even more special. The...

My husband and I stayed at Manna Bay for 5 nights and did not want to leave. The house is amazing and personalised service that you would never get at a large hotel. From the second we arrived we were treated to the warmest and kindest hospitality. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay in Cape Town... More

The rooms are beautifully decorated and the staff attentive and professional. You get exactly what they promise on their website. The view of Cape Town stretches as far as the eye can see. Many excellent restaurants in the area.

We stayed at MannaBay earlier this month at the suggestion of our travel agent (Rhino Africa) as we were hoping for a quiet, luxurious boutique type hotel to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary prior to leaving for a private game reserve later in the week. We spent 5 nights in the Black/White room, which was absolutely lovely! We loved the... More

Visited MannaBay for 4 nights for my wife's 40th having been to Cape Town a few times before. From start to finish the experience of MannaBay was superb. The staff were brilliant - from the management team to Pearce, Shadrack and all the other staff we met - nothing was ever a problem. You know when you ask for something... More

We just enjoyed 3 unbelievable nights at MannaBay for our wedding anniversary as part of a 10 day visit to SA. It is hard to find words to describe the quality of this establishment. Everything was perfect. The property is stunning and in a fantastic location but its really the quality of management and staff that make this a very... More

We checked Travel Advisor before confirming MannaBay for our visit. It was as good as all the earlier assessments - location, amenities,staff and service. It is not just a commercial establishment. It is your home whilst in Cape Town and Justine and her team treat you like family with respect to your every need. Ah Shadrack, what a pleasure it... More

We have just returned from our honeymoon, which started with 4 nights at the delightful MannaBay Boutique Hotel. What a way to start our trip! The hotel is beautifully decorated, both inside and out, with fantastic views. We stayed in the Versailles Suite which was a lavish explosion of rich colours and fabrics, the ultimate in 'French Chic'.The room was... More

We have just enjoyed four lovely nights at this property and wish we had stayed longer. When a property, attraction or restaurant receives five star ratings consistently , I am always a bit hesitant. Expectations are high. Well, I cannot find fault with this hotel. Open about three years and owned by Rhino Safaris, this is real business savvy for... More

Staying here while in Cape Town is a must! You actually feel like you are at home (but with lots of staff of course!). Great decor and attention to detail. Service was tops as well. The rooms are cozy and the common areas are the same...and what a great view! Do not miss the breakfast spread. I've been dreaming of... More
