It's always a pleasure to come back in this nice south african manor!

Every part of the Manor was spotlessly clean . Vince the owner is the perfect host. Lorenza cooked the best breakfast that we've had in a long time. The log fire was a very welcoming sight in the evening and in the morning. This place will definitely be our place to stay in the future
- Neil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sandra (8/5): Location was ideal for a function in Riebeeck - Electric blanket on bed. Nice fireplace indoor. The coffee/tea station could be better presented with more variety. There was only 1 little triangle milk in fridge. A small bottle of water for each guest would have been appreciated.
