Wir haben uns im Sundown Manor sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Besitzer und seine Angestellte sind sehr liebenswerte Personen. Da wir eine Sonnenaufgangswanderung auf den Tafelberg unternommen haben, waren wir nicht rechtzeitig zum Frühstück zurück. Es war kein Problem, dass wir dann später frühstücken konnten. Nochmals vielen lieben Dank dafür! Das Zimmer war sehr groß, gepflegt und sauber und hatte alles was man braucht. Die Unterkunft war der perfekte Einstieg in unseren Urlaub. Die Atmosphäre im Guesthouse war sehr familiär und man kommt sehr schnell mit den anderen Gästen ins Gespräch. Die Umgebung ist für Kapstadter Verhältnisse sehr sicher und man auch abends noch bedenkenlos zu Fuß zum Bekannten Mojo Market gehen. Es gibt auch einen tollen Supermarkt in der unmittelbaren Umgebung und die Laufstrecke zwei Blocks weiter an der Promenade ist ein Highlight! Wir können Sundown Manor nur empfehlen.

So thankful for the help

The staff went above and beyond in helping us. We had some flight delays and needed some taxis booked. The manor is so adorable, the location is ideal. I only wish we had had more time here!

Excellent B&B avec hôtes très serviables

Séjour parfait dans ce B&B. Les chambres sont confortables et bien équipées dans une résidence sécurisée. Les hôtes sont très serviables et prêts à donner de bons conseils pour visiter Cape Town. Bon petit-déjeuner dans les espaces de vie communs, en surplomb de la piscine. Parking sécurisé. Proche de commodités (supermarché, restaurants…) et à deux pas du front de mer ! J’y retournerai sans hésiter.

Top stop!

If it was possible to give 12 out of 10 this place would achieve it easily. By far the most welcoming and enjoyable stay I have enjoyed anywhere in the world. Hats off to Gary, Candice and Cecilia for their attention and friendliness during my stay.

Single person attending a sporting event

It’s a lovely guest house with a great out door area. My room was very clean and comfortable and the staff were incredibly accommodating. My only gripe is that my room looked out over the elevated car park, there were no net curtains and maintenance was being carried out by workers. The reason this was a problem was that there was load shedding and I had to keep the dark heavy curtains closed, so I was totally in the dark on the morning of the 11th February 2019 for an extend couple of hours.

Felt like home!

Wow! We loved staying at Sundown Manor. We had a late arrival but Gary was very kind and understanding despite having to stay up late to greet us. His home is beautiful and complete. We had everything we needed. We loved the location and felt safe to walk to and from the many restaurant options close by (La Boheme was our very favorite). The breakfasts and coffee were delicious and we loved enjoying them on the terrace each morning with the mountain view around us. The home is very secure & quiet as well.

A gem in Sea Point!

This was my second stay at Sundown Manor and hopefully not my last! It's truly a gem--comfortable, good value for the price, beautifully maintained and in a perfect location to enjoy the lovely Sea Point area by foot, or a quick (10-15 minute) Uber to other parts of the city. Gary, Zelda and the entire staff are so kind, friendly and accommodating of special requests. I warmly recommend Sundown Manor as a comfortable "home away from home" for your next Cape Town vacation.
