Situated at the foot of the Steenbras Mountain and overlooking the blue waters of False Bay, lies the historical Manor on the Bay, which was built in 1862. Manor on the Bay has spectacular sunset views over the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain. Enjoy the amazing views of False Bay and watch the whales in season or the dolphins passing you by.

Manor on the Bay provides luxury accommodation in all 11 en-suite bedrooms with bed and breakfast in picturesque Gordon’s Bay, Cape Town.

Manor on the Bay Guesthouse is only 20 metres from the beach, where conditions for swimming and sunbathing are perfect. A walking trail under a canopy of Milkwood trees (unique to this part of the Western Cape) leads to various quality restaurants and bars. Another leisurely 3-minute walk will take you to the yacht harbour, from where excursions of deep-sea fishing, whale watching, and sunset cruises depart.

Manor on the Bay is committed to sustainable living and is proud to offer solar energy as a renewable energy option (more environmentally friendly and sustainable than diesel-driven generation), ensuring no more load-shedding, and an uninterrupted power supply for our guests. Manor on the Bay is fully operational during load-shedding.

Renowned for personal service and charming staff, Manor on the Bay offers guests the ultimate gift of a sublime setting and an unforgettable stay.
