Allen and the other staff were great! It is a 1880 Mansion with 8 guest rooms and impeccably restored/maintained filled with antiques, just very relaxing. I would highly recommend for its charm, location and staff. Satori Restaurant 5-10min walk down street is Amazing food and service (ask for Shantell). Highly recommend!

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at James Guesthouse and can’t wait to come back! The sea view was stunning, and I felt completely safe and at ease throughout my visit. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The rooms are fantastic, especially the Gentry room with its charming bay window, which adds a unique touch. Breakfast was delicious, with a variety of fresh options that made for the perfect start to each day. The whole house has a cozy, welcoming ambiance, decorated with so much love and attention to detail. I also appreciated the multiple seating areas throughout the guesthouse—perfect for unwinding or reading in a quiet corner. The open bar option was a nice added convenience. The location could hardly be better; whether on foot or by car, everything you need is easily accessible. Highly recommend James Guesthouse for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed stay with a touch of elegance and excellent service.

A beautiful place to stay. The staff is excellent. Clive going out of his way to help when I had trouble walking, dropping us at a restaurant and picking us up later, all out of the kindness of his heart. Kalk Bay is a safe place and lovely. Breakfast at StJames Manor was excellent and more than enough food. Eating out was excellent. Beds are comfortable.

This is a delightful small hotel where we were very well looked after. it has a very nice little pool for getting away from everything. Restaurants are a short walk away in Kalk Bay. We stayed for a couple of days. Had a lovely large room.

Lovely accommodation with very friendly & helpful staff. It was very quiet - on the first night I think we were the only guests - which felt a bit strange, but I do appreciate we were there at the end of the season. Kalk Bay is a very nice resort with some very nice coffee shops and restaurants, all within walking distance of the manor. Highly recommended!

5.0 / 10.0

I enjoyed a wonderful stay in the most enormous room with three windows directly overlooking Kalk Bay and the ocean. It felt luxurious in every way, very comfortable, calm, relaxing and spotlessly clean. The welcome was warm and friendly and breakfast was excellent. As I only stayed one night I didn’t have time to enjoy the swimming pool or terrace but I know for next time. Secure parking and walking distance to the centre of Kalk Bay makes this a perfect place to stay enjoy everything about the Kalk Bay Area.

A lovely place on the False Bay south of Cape Town. This house is a masterpiece. The surrounding area is lovely and secure. Only little observation is related to the fact that in some lamps cold white bulbs have been used. This choice hurts the romanticism of that place.

Lovely old majestic manor house with friendly and helpful staff. Within walking distance of some enjoyable restaurants especially fresh seafood eateries at the harbour. Only downside is that it's on a very busy road so a bit noisy if you looking for quiet.

The St. James Manor consists of three side by side luxury properties owned by Rovos Rail which operates 5 star train trips. The "Manor" with its Victorian furniture and Persian carpets and the Seaforth are a bit more 'hotel like' than Homestead which is more light and open. At the Manor you would order a drink at the bar but at Homestead you can just help yourself to the excellent wines and well appointed kitchen. The breakfasts were great. The staff, particularly Good News and Lawrence were amazing, making local recommendations and reservations for you. Lawrence was waiting at the roadside when we arrived to park our rented car, carry our heavy bags, give us a tour, and opened two bottles of wine and set us with bowls of crisps on the deck while he put away our luggage. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Vos, the owner, and you could see that his hands on management, pride, and attention to detail would ensure an amazing stay for every guest.

This was my second stay at St. James Manor and it was just as great as the first. Clive, the Manager, was friendly and welcoming and helpful with anything my colleague and I needed. It truly feels like my home away from home...but nicer! Clive even made us a fire and took us to pick up take away pizza one night when we just wanted to have a chill night in. I love being able to open a bottle of wine or fix myself a drink whenever I want and the short walk into town means delicious dining is just a few minutes away.

One of the must surreal stays I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Was upgraded to their renovated facility and was Lorded upon for the entire stay. Can't stay I've ever received such exemplary service anywhere in the World. Well done guys. You're definitely on my list for future stay overs.

Lovely stay at the St. James Homestead. Staff (especially Clive) really friendly and accommodating. The rooms are superb: beautifully decorated and refined. The kitchen and lounge areas with the all inclusive drinks and nibbles, make it a very relaxed but pampered atmosphere. The pool area is good too with great views over the sea. Enjoyed the breakfasts which were cooked to order and delicious.

This is a great old house converted into a hotel with only 7 rooms. The entire ground floor is used as a study, reception, lounge, dining hall and a bar which is very spacious and old colonial style. Rooms are well designed and very comfortable. Staff are courteous, helpful and always eager to please. Both the persons on day duty, Michael as well as Goodnews were very helpful and took care of all our queries. Amazing to find a hotel that let you use the entire Bar on the ground floor and let you have any drinks for free, including champagnes, wines, cognac, liqueurs, scotch etc.. Very convenient location quite close to Falk Bay and about 30 minutes from Cape Point.. Whilst all hotels refers to its customers as Guest, whilst the St James Manor and its staff actually makes you feel like a real GUEST..
