    I would have preferred a more flavored breakfast i.e. I am used to adding herbs and spices when making eggs, mushrooms etc.

    1. Location is perfect and gives you ability to: - Walk by the beach front - Walk to the city center 2. Safe location: - Walking at night was not an issue 3. Rooms size: - Room was for a family but still it's very spacious - Nicely furnished with all amenities

    There was nothing to dislike about this property.

    What a beautiful property, in a beautiful location right opposite the beach. We had a fabulous welcome, nothing was too much trouble, and the room was outstanding. The sunbeds outside our room on the terrace was just what we needed when we arrived after a long flight.

    We had such a lovely two night stay at The Manor. Highlights were the welcome from our hosts which was exceptional, the views from the outside terrace and the enormous, comfortable beds. The air con (which we only needed for a short while in the night), was the quietest unit on our stay and the room was large and comfortable. We had superb breakfasts each day in a lovely part of the house, again overlooking the small bay. The room was beautifully decorated with high quality furnishings. We walked into the village, a safe, easy walk on a footpath by the beach and had a fantastic meal at Zest, so much so that we returned the next night. We also visited the book shop, huge place to get lost in and a great little bar next to the book shop. Very friendly locals. We then drove down the coast to Betty's Bay, a stunning drive, to see the penguins and visited Harry Porter Botanical Gardens which was absolutely lovely. We would definitely return, thank you.

    Jenny and Sebastian are two kind hosts. The rooms are spacious and very clean with a view of the sea. The breakfast is good. Maybe more different fruits (in a land of fruits😃) would be great. I would love to come back and can highly recommend Manor on the Bay.

    The breakfast was excellent and the hosts very accommodating and welcoming. The house has an interesting history too, which I found fascinating. We were in the area for a wedding and The Manor was a perfect location from which to get to all the activities and the reception during the course of our stay.
