I had a lovely stay at Ashby manor. My room had a balcony overlooking the sea. The staff were very warm and welcoming and I felt safe as a lone female traveller. its a great location for the beaches...a quiet peaceful area. I would highly recommend Ashby manor. Wonderful views and Liesel is a super host.

LOVELY ONE NIGHT STAY
We only stayed for one night but it was a very pleasant stay and our host was so adorable and made sure we comfortable for the night. The room was neat and clean and I just loved the decor of lion/cheetah/leopard.

The property was in a convenient part of town and was affordable. However, no staff person was present either for my checkin (5pm) and checkout (8am) so a long-term resident had to help me check in and I just left the key in the room for the check out. Additionally the bedding was stained and not very clean.

Location is Key
We booked and stayed for 1 night and it was worth the price...Old and Eclectic style, a bit much in some areas. Pleasant staff, a fan provided as no air-con and a lovely view of the ocean. The shower was a bit dodgy and leaked after use...towels and bedding had some stains (all white so easy to spot)...bar-fridge was placed precariously on a stool under the TV Due to Covid, no breakfast was served but overall experience was fine.
loads of mirrors in the room!
lovely sunny room

Peaceful Accommodation
We had a very pleasant stay. Extremely relaxing seeing as both the neighborhood and Manor is very peaceful and quiet. A little disappointed that the website indicates breakfast included, unfortunately upon arrival it was made clear there is no breakfast. Other than that, excellent stay. Highly recommended.

Was a terrible experience and there was renovations taking place, stuff lying around and doors not closing and locking properly. Worst experience and we have been booking a lot of hotels on your site

Back in Cape Town
Amazing place to stay, has a lot of character. Friendly and quick check in. I stayed in room 8 on the top floor with amazing views. Winter is cold and wet, so bring along a hot water bottle for bed. Will definitely stay here again
