Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily stay there again.

Beautifully furnished with huge rooms which were really suites. Everything worked perfectly

If I had any criticism, it is that the honour bar could have perhaps stocked a bigger variety of snacks for guests to purchase.

8.0 / 10.0

Friendly staff and comfortable stay, perfectly situated between Muizenberg and Kaulk Bay

Beautiful traditional accommodation with high standard of service from the staff and safe / quiet atmosphere.

Images of the Finlay suite were misleading - it made me believe that there was a private balcony overlooking the sea, when in fact the balcony was shared with other hotel guests. Quite expensive compared to other options in the surrounding area.

10.0 / 10.0

Luxury stay, great location, homely feel... so much nicer than a flash hotel

Excellent variety for breakfast served by really accommodating staff. Great location, easily walkable into St James & Kalk Bay with fantastic shops, bars & cafes. Comfortable bed & gorgeous linen & towels. Safe off road parking

Nothing really apart from parking was a bit tight on occasions!

9.0 / 10.0

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, however for us the resort is just a bit too busy particularly a

The guest house was very spacious with several public rooms all beautifully furnished and with the level of luxury one expects from Rovos Rail, and the ambience was one of peace and tranquility. The staff were excellent, and the service cannot be faulted. There were some extra little touches which do make a big difference eg top quality toiletries, snacks in the room, and plenty of tea, coffee and even hot chocolate. Our suite had a lovely sea view and a shared terrace.

The only downside for me was the traffic noise from the busy main road on which the guesthouse is situated, plus a rail line which is in front of the property with trains passing through regularly from around 5.30am

Amazing stay, 10 out of 10

Great building with amazing facility and service.

The road is right in front of the railway which makes it a bit noisy sometimes, but not a problem.

Everything from start to finish, how we were welcomed. The rooms are magnificent. The bed was like sleeping in a cloud. It even smelled beautiful

There wasnt anything I didnt like. It was inspiring to stay at the Manor

10.0 / 10.0

Exceptional and very restful

Great small manor house with just 6 rooms delivering privacy, a quiet environment backed by great building, rooms and very attentive staff. easy to walk to local restraunts as the Manor only provides a breakfast and bar service, both these offering really great. Will use again and their swimming pool has a great environment and due to the limited occupation levels often this is just yours to enjoy. In ALL A GREAT place to lay ones head

No issues to discuss

10.0 / 10.0

Overall, very pleasant and I'd recommend St. James to others.

The whole facility is very well maintained. Everything worked as expected. Staff were attentive. Decore (old stylish history) is fantastic. Beautiful setting, under the mountain. Huge swimming pool. Comfortable room, well kitted out with all one could want.

There was some vehicle noise from the main road in our bedroom which faces the road. My breakfast omelette was dry and a little disappointing.

7.0 / 10.0

Sadly, Not quite to our liking.

Lovely staff. Large, clean, palatial house. Good breakfast.

Busy road outside that woke us early each morning. Apart from breakfast we barely saw anybody in 3 days. In truth, unless the guesthouse owners are onsite to impose some smile & personality around the place it’s just soulless. 🤷‍♂️ Sorry, didn’t enjoy our stay.

The location is beautiful and the house warm and inviting but what made this stay very special was the amazing staff and service we received. A big thankyou to Ken, Clive and Allan for making our stay so special.

Good for the soul

What a gorgeous guesthouse! Wish I stayed longer but will definitely be back. My flight came in late and the staff were more than happy to accommodate a late check in. I was still greeted and welcomed with a smile. The guesthouse is just so cosy and comfortable. I loved that there were electric blankets. I can’t wait to be back!

Exquisite property and incredibly welcoming staff!

From the moment I arrived, Ken was there to make sure I was settled in right away. The staff at breakfast were amazing and they made me feel so good about my stay at the hotel. I definitely recommend staying here and getting pampered by the staff and the beautiful hotel!

Magical...

A real gem in the heart of the wonder-filled Kalk Bay. The ambience of this magnificent old lady is worth a visit, plan an extra day just to take it all in!! Clive could not have been a more warm, welcoming host. The scents throughout are memorable; the only thing missing from the rooftop pool was more time!

10.0 / 10.0

A much-needed time away at a cosy, serence, beautiful guest lodge.

Lovely, home-cooked breakfast with a choice for what you would like to have on your plate. Fresh fruit and good coffee in a beautiful environment. The room was exquisite, comfortable, homey and welcoming. My family and I loved it. The team were helpful, kind and very thoughtful.

I cannot fault this accommodation. It exceeded my expectations.

6.0 / 10.0

A lovely, stately house in good location in need of attention to detail.

The location is good, the manor building is very attractive. The coffee was good, and the staff were friendly.

Attention to details is certainly missing. Parking is very cramped, the windows are dirty ( including cobwebs), the grout in the shower was dirty too, and the breakfast food was mediocre- no better than at a very ordinary B&B . The safe in the room had no batteries, so could not be used. The bedlamp switch cannot be reached from a seated or lying pisition in bed, as it is placed too high up. The flashlight in the room was not working . All in all, the manor house and furnishings are in line with what was expected, the rest not.

More usb plugs that you can access without crawling round on the floor

8.0 / 10.0

Not memorable

Lovely old building and setting with great staff.

Parking is tight, bathroom is tiled with different levels/ accident waiting to happen. The pool is needing a facelift and even though it is winter one walks past this to enter and leave room. No bending the rules when we wanted to invited friends for breakfast, meant we gave up which apparently is a good one at the St James!

10.0 / 10.0

The Manor oozes old world charm and timeless elegance. My room was comfortable amd breakfasts delicious.

comfortable beds & pillows, breakfast included, bed made daily & room tidied. Laundry included too! The thoughtful touches like water in the mini fridge andcomplimentary sherry by the fire in the main lounge area.

A couple of maintenance issues in the bathroom but they were minor.

Great room and location

The room was really spacious and a great view, very comfortable, and location was excellent.

Wifi was not great, parts of the room had no wifi, and it was erratic. Loadshedding was a dampner in the morning as no boiling of kettle for coffee in the room. Our second morning breakfast was cold so had to have it redone

7.0 / 10.0

not too bad, it’s pretty

very good position to walk down to central Kalk Bay, very pretty traditional house with sea view. nice breakfast

The room was full of ants, both alive and dead (so the room was not cleaned just before we went in). there was vague smell of old stuff, probably due to the dated curtains, but that was not intolerable.

10.0 / 10.0

Fantastic old world charm with exceptional breakfasts,

Absolutely stunning place, worth every cent that one pays. Place was immaculate with so much history on the walls. Breakfasts were worthy of their 5 stars. Will definately be back

Everything was perfect - not one complaint.

6.0 / 10.0

A grand, historic building, spacious but the price was off putting. Unlikely that we would return.

The spacious room and good quality breakfast.

The price - for our type of traveller we have limited needs so the high price was off-putting. We found little to offset the high price. We didn't like the way the tips were stipulated in writing and how the tips were collected. For us, there was a high level of doubt about how the tip would be distributed. We also did not like the close proximity to a noisy road. For the price, we felt more could be done to offset load shedding.

How to damage the Rovos brand...lots of potential, disappointing management

Met by guy in paint splattered pants. Breakfast bacon and sausage was burnt. Dust and insects in window sill
