An absolutely wonderful stay!

10.0

We had a truly wonderful and unforgettable stay at Manor on the Bay. From the very first moment, we felt incredibly welcome and well taken care of by Jenny and Sebastian – two warm, attentive and genuinely caring hosts who run their guesthouse with so much love. The house itself is beautiful, clean, very well maintained and tastefully decorated, with a relaxing atmosphere that makes you feel at home right away. The location right on Gordons Bay, perfect starting point to Clearance Drive and lots of other locations, the delicious breakfast and all the thoughtful little details in the service made our stay really special – we honestly wished we could have stayed longer. We will definitely be back and can highly recommend Manor on the Bay to anyone visiting the area! Million Thanks to Jenny and Sebastian for making this such a beautiful stay for us...
