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!

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.

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.

breakfast was good

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

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!

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.

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

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.
