Die ligging is nie goed nie en die besprekingstelsel deurmekaar.

Om by The Manor House uit te kom moet mens deur 'n onveilige gebied beweeg en die besprekingstelsel is deurmekaar. Die plaas self is mooi maar ek sal nie weer daar bly nie.

The location is not good and the booking system messed up.

To get to The Manor House one has to pass through an unsafe area and the reservation system is messed up. The farm itself is nice but I would not stay there again.

The Manor House 's response

Dear Amanda

Thank you for your stay at the Manor House on 03/09/2023.  Regarding your review, please note that we have absolutely no control when it comes to the establishing and growing of Informal Settlements. This is a huge concern, not only in our village of Sir Lowry's Pass but also across South Africa.  We understand that this may have been a little unsettling for you as you are possibly new to the area but I can assure you that we have some lovely families living there. We as an establishment have worked very closely with the charity organizations from the informal settlement and have done our best to support them whenever possible. We love our little village and the people that reside there. Regarding our confusing booking system, this was due to misunderstandings and/or possible miscommunication which we apologize for.

Best regards
Knorhoek Manor House.

Place to sleep overnight after a wedding in the area.

We needed a place to sleep overnight after a wedding in the area. Wedding started at 3. Can only book in from 2 pm. We had to book in as we knew we would be late at the wedding. But they were able to help us and give the key earlier. Then we realised it was a few rooms in a building rented out seperately.

Beautiful place surrounded by mountains and very peaceful with beautiful gardens and the Manor house was built in 1795 and they have kept all the heritage details in place.

Heerlike ruimte, stilte in 'n 228 jaar oue huis.

Die ligging is goed, die huis, 'n nationale gedenkwaardigheid is 'n belewenis. Dit was baie warm, ons het die swembad geniet. Die ontbyt ingesluit was goed en heerlik. Die personeel was besonders vriendelik, behulpsaam en gasvry. Ek was ongelukkig vreeslik gebyt in die nag, miskien 'n spinnekop of twee, dis nou 2 dae later en my bene is erg opgeswel van die byte.

Unfortunately I was badly bitten in the night, maybe a spider or two, it's now 2 days later and my legs are badly swollen from the bites.

Beautiful scenery, but the Mill House was dirty and sleeper couches most uncomfortable.

There was mould in the shower and kitchen and spider webs everywhere. We used a bottle of bug spray the weekend. Also no place to put your clothing. No TV and a radio that does not work. Place is advertised as a double storey establishment, but upon arrival, we had to navigate a really steep staircase to access the house. This turned out to be a one roomed bunker house. 8 people had to share one open plan bedroom. Would not recommend staying in the Mill House to anybody. The grounds are beautifully kept and I cannot vouch for the state of the other places on the property.

Eeu-oue bly-ervaring in Knorrhoek Herehuis. Warm gasvryheid en heerlike kos.

Ons het tussen 24h00 en 01h00 op 'n Sondagoggend by hierdie pragtige ou Kaaps-Hollandse herehuis met sy mooi gewels gearriveer, na 'n rit deur die effens 'sketchy' informele nedersetting genaamd Sir Lowryspas, kompleet met dronkies in die straat, ens. Aangesien ons laat was, het die vriendelike bestuurder reeds vroeër reëlings met ons getref waar ons die sleutels kon kry en het hy ook aanwysings gelos waar ons kamer sou wees. Die kamer was goed gemeubileer, maar ons was effens teleurgesteld in die beddens se kwaliteit [het al beter gehad by ander plekke]. Alles was verder baie goed gewees. Die volgende oggend het die bestuurder aan ons verduidelik dat hulle in die proses is om al die beddens te vervang met nuwes, dat hulle nou nog slegs een jaar in die bestuur is van die pragplek en dat Covid-19 hulle beplanning bietjie gekniehalter het. Die ontbyt wat ons daar genuttig het was uit die boonste rakke, met puik diens van die personeel. Die atmosfeer van hierdie ouwêreldse gewel-herehuis, wat reeds in 1795 hier gebou is in die Hottentots-Hollandberge, is iets wat jou heeltyd bybly. Hoop om weer hier oor te bly en my weer te verkyk aan die eeu-oue eikebome. Die grootste verrassing vir ons was om te moes uitvind dat ons heerlike ontbyt se koste ingesluit was by ons oornagakkommodasiekostes, wat aleeds baie bekostigbaar was teen R440 vir 2 mense per nag.

Century-old living experience in Knorrhoek Mansion. Warm hospitality and delicious food.

We arrived at this beautiful old Cape Dutch mansion with its beautiful gables between midnight and 1am on a Sunday morning, after a drive through the slightly 'sketchy' informal settlement called Sir Lowryspas, complete with street drunks etc. Since we were late, the friendly manager had already made arrangements with us earlier where we could get the keys and also left directions where our room would be. The room was well furnished, but we were slightly disappointed in the quality of the beds [have had better at other places]. Everything else had been very good. The next morning, the manager explained to us that they are in the process of replacing all the beds with new ones, that they have only been managing the beautiful place for one year and that Covid-19 has hampered their planning a bit. The breakfast we enjoyed there was top notch, with great service from the staff. The atmosphere of this old-world gabled mansion, which was already built here in the Hottentots-Hollandberge in 1795, is something that stays with you all the time. Hope to stay here again and see the century-old oaks again. The biggest surprise for us was to find out that the cost of our delicious breakfast was included in our overnight accommodation costs, which were already very affordable at R440 for 2 people per night.

Great experience but just the trail run which occurred the next morning was a disturbance to wanting to sleep later than planned.

Would recommend to friends and family. Would suggest more blankets as it gets really cold at night. Hospitality was really nice and welcoming.

Beautiful setting.

Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating. The venue was lovely and for the most part very tranquil - avoid staying Saturday and Sunday (unless you're out for the day) as day visitors come to picnic and use the pool. Very conveniently situated. We'll definitely return should we be in the area.

Beautiful, peaceful, perfect break away.

Beautiful historical house with yellow wood floors in secluded, beautiful, tranquil garden full of large trees. Close enough to Somerset, Stellenbosch or Gordon's Bay for shopping and the beach, but far away from the hustle and bustle of city life - a space where my soul can breathe. We enjoyed 2 nights stay and had a special champagne breakfast to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We will make a plan to visit there again!

Hi Jonathan,
You were very clearly in the wrong and were asked politely to leave 3 times.
When you refused and chased my staff away, I had no option but to be firm with you when you still had not departed hours after check out time and had settled in for the day making braais, parking on the lawn, using the cottage facilities.
If you feel that you were treated unfairly, I am sorry, but you and your group were very rude to my staff.

To get there you drive through Sir Lowry village which is quite run down and we were getting worried. But then all of a sudden you enter into a new world! We loved it, the pool was great. The view is fantastic. Security guard 24 hours. Had good WiFi.

Baie teleurgesteld, het baie meer verwag.

Met ons aankoms was daar baie geraas van die dagbesoekers (niks op die website dat dagbesoekers toegelaat word nie). Toe moes ek deur 'n spreier hardloop om by die voordeur te kom. Met inspeksie van die swembad moes ons uitvind dat die dagbesoekers dit oorgeneem het. Later die aand toe ons wou gaan swem, gesien die water is baie vuil en olierig van gebruik deur die dagbesoekers. Ons kamer het geen lugversorging gehad nie, slegs 'n klein waaier, ook geen yskas in die kamer nie (dit was omtrent 37 grade). Die 2de kamer waar ons kinders van 22 en 20 geslaap het, was verskriklik klein en het nog 'n kleiner waaier gehad wat geensins 'n verskil gemaak het nie. Met die eerste stort het die stortkop afgekom. Op die positiewe kant is die omgewing baie mooi en rustig (na die dagbesoekers weg is), ongelukkig moet jy deur Sir Lowrys Pas Village ry om by die gastehuis te kom. In geheel dus nie 'n baie goeie ondervinding gehad nie.

Very disappointed, expected much more.

When we arrived there was a lot of noise from the day visitors (nothing on the website that day visitors are allowed). Then I had to run through a spreader to get to the front door. On inspection of the pool we had to find out that the day visitors had taken it over. Later that evening when we wanted to go swimming, we saw that the water was very dirty and oily from use by the day visitors. Our room had no air conditioning, only a small fan, also no fridge in the room (it was about 37 degrees). The 2nd room where our children aged 22 and 20 slept was terribly small and had another smaller fan which made no difference whatsoever. With the first shower, the shower head came off. On the plus side the surroundings are very nice and peaceful (after the day visitors have left), unfortunately you have to drive through Sir Lowrys Pas Village to get to the guest house. So overall not a very good experience.

Rustig en ontspanne in 'n pragtige, ouwêreldse plaasomgewing.

Mens kry die gevoel dat jy afgesonder is in 'n verskuilde hoekie van die Kaap waar die gejaagde lewe jou nie kan bereik nie. Die dekor is eenvoudig, funksioneel en elegant. Met die oopmaak van 'n deur of 'n venster is jy buite in die rustige natuur. Daar is aandag gegee aan 'n versoek vir gemaklike toegang weens 'n onlangse beenoperasie, en ons is geskuif na 'n meer gerieflike kamer sonder enige ekstra kostes, selfs al was ons bereid om meer te betaal.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Peaceful and relaxed in a beautiful, old-world farm setting.

One gets the feeling that you are isolated in a hidden corner of the Cape where the hectic life cannot reach you. The decor is simple, functional and elegant. With the opening of a door or a window, you are outside in peaceful nature. A request for comfort access due to recent leg surgery was attended to and we were moved to a more comfortable room at no extra charge, even though we were willing to pay more.

It was amazing, tranquil and very, very clean we as a family will definitely go back and we have recommended the Manor House to family and friends.

At the time of our stay we had a small family crises. My hubby spoke to the manager Carol and she sorted out so quickly. With just simple yes/no problem. That was a wow-moment for me. Thank you so much Carol! I would like to thank the management and staff of the Manor House for going above and beyond for us as a family. A big thank you! NB: Our-stay there was amazing, wonderful and relaxing. We will definitely return with family and friends.

Nie maklik bereikbaar saans nie, onwenslik om deur randgebied en donker plaaspad te ry.

Die dakkamertjie was bedompig, met 'n eienaardige reuk. Die vloer was taai. Die beddegoed was skoon en netjies maar die kamer nie. Die dakvertrek was moeilik bereikbaar met smal en steil trappe, gelukkig was daar hulp beskikbaar. Die tuine was pragtig en ontbyt lekker.

Hi there,
I am sorry you were not happy with the room, but it is a cheapest budget room and we do advertise it as such.
The rooms downstairs are much larger and more comfortable, but of course slightly more expensive.
We have never had a problem in the village or the on road coming to the Estate. We ask guests to check in before dark too.
Hope you see you soon again

A lush oasis of trees and hospitality.

Carol and Ed are fantastic hosts, who run this huge, beautiful establishment with warmth, professionalism and enthusiasm. They are the perfect hosts of the grand old Manor House, which is one of the nicest stays we have ever had. It is good old-fashioned hospitality at its very best, in beautiful, peaceful, natural surroundings. The bed was amazingly comfortable, the room was lovely, the breakfasts are scrumptious and the staff are efficient and friendly. This is one of those places we will come back to many times.

The place itself is lovely, lots of green grass and peace and quiet.

This is our second time staying at the Manor House and this time we got the Garden Cottage which was great. Our own little garden and lots of privacy however, there was bar fridge that was leaking and also had an off smell which needs to be looked at. We had to put down a cloth for the leakage. Also the shower needed a proper clean and there were a few broken shower floor tiles, which also needs to be looked at. Other than that it is a great place.

Absolutely friendly and very helpful management and staff. Very quiet and fantastic scenery. Wish I could own a piece of this place.

From the time that my wife and I set foot at The Manor House, Sir Lowry Pass on Monday, 28 December 2020, we were greeted by a very friendly staff and management. Our 6-night stay was wonderful and we are planning our next stay at The Manor House for 2021, but this time we shall definitely stay much longer because of the scenery and calm quiet effect one experiences. We have sent pics of our cottage and court yard to friends and family and all of them want to visit this beautiful and stunning place.

Beautiful establishment and exceptional service!

For me and my wife, our stay at The Manor House was wonderful. Upon our arrival up until us leaving we had a pleasant experience and the owner/manager made our stay very comfortable and we would like to go back again for a much longer stay next time. The cottage and gardens are well maintained which gave the feeling to unwind and enjoy the blissful experience of nature. I definitely would recommend the manor house to anyone as their hospitality and friendly warm atmosphere, made us feel at home.

Rustige omgewing.

Ek het in die tuinwoonstel gebly - dit was baie gerieflik en het buitebraaigeriewe gehad, maar let asb. daarop dat dit nie selfsorg-akkommodasie is nie (net koppies word verskaf - daar is nie 'n yskassie en ander eetgerei nie). Etes kan by die restaurant in die hoofgebou genuttig word. Die omgewing is pragtig en rustig. Sondae oggende is daar 'n myRun wat plaasvind. Ontbyt was lekker en billik geprys.

See below for description.

We were four adults and one 2.5 year old child that stayed in the Protea Shed for six nights. At the time of the booking we called the Manor House to confirm availability of the rooms and the person who we spoke to said that they have cottages available for families and that it has a bath tub. Once the booking was made there were no mention/description about the Protea Shed or any pictures on the website (which has since been updated with pictures and listed as the Protea family).

Ons het in die Garden Cottage gebly, ideaal vir twee. Die private tuintjie buite maak dit baie spesiaal.

Very impressed with all aspects of the Manor House.

We stayed one night while on a business trip to Cape Town. We had the Loft Room, which totally met my eclectic taste. While we shared the 4 bedroom house with one other, it was enjoyable meeting someone else and there were no problems. I would quickly recommend this accommodation to others.

Hi Afsannah,

Thank you for the feedback. We only advertise one room with a TV and that is the Garden Cottage.
The family suite has a shared TV. We encourage guests to 'un-plug" and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Next time book into the Garden Cottage, it has a lovely private garden too, but is not self catering.

Wonderlike voorreg om op hierdie pragtige ou historiese opstal te kan slaap!

Pragtige historiese plaas in 'n landelike omgewing. Sprokiesmooi akkommodasie. Alles pynlik netjies en skoon. Het die braaihout en kaggelvuur geweldig geniet. Trappe op en af mag 'n probleem wees vir mense met knie- of beenprobleme. Baie dankbaar dat ons hierdie pragplaas kon ervaar! Dankie vir soveel rustigheid en vrede. Kan alles 100% aanbeveel.

Disappointed, inaccurate portrayal on website. International travellers be aware the Wi-Fi is below UK/EU standards.

Our room were Millers Cottage Room 4. Bed and pillows are not fit for human use, good for a dog bed. The mattress is so old it has 2 permanent indentations where people have slept on it for an indefinite amount of years. Using both pillows allocated per guest your head and neck is supported with a full 2-3 cm pillow filling. You cannot stand upright in the room. Hanging space for clothes are as unique as the mattress. The shower room (as no bath) is mouldy, photo on site is not of this shower room. A curtain in front of the window will go a long way. As there is a security light shining through it all night. Please be advised that you will hear every word spoken and all other human interaction from room 2 below you. Please address this issue as it only lead to highly embarrassing issues the next morning. With us being international travellers we did report this to management the next morning. No where is it mentioned that there is no TV or Wi-Fi available in the room. The shared kitchen facilities are not mentioned on the website either. The dogs bark for hours at a time. Wi-Fi is only available in and around The Manor House. It is intermittent at best. The breakfast is nice. Unfortunately this made for a night with no sleep to be followed by a full day of international flights for us to reach home again. This is a place that could be a little gem with a bit of money spent on the facilities. We found it so disappointing after having spent 2 weeks travelling and experiencing a phenomenal Western Cape, that met and exceeded so many expectations. If you require total isolation from technology, this is the place for you.

Bad.

On arrival we only saw that you need to share a kitchen and living room. The room didn't have curtains in front of the widows, no fridge, just a bed. You can't stand up straight when entering the room as the roof is too low. Guests or building contractors where laying on the chairs when we arrived. We didn't even stay any longer and handed the keys in at the gate. Wasted 2 nights of money and had to search for new accommodation at 20:00 on a Sunday night.

Baie aangenaam in stil landelike omgewing.

Ons kamer was 'n dakkamer met 'n grasdak. Het gevoel soos toe ons klein was op die plaas. Gesamentlike kombuis/eetkamer wat al die nodige het. Gaste ken ongelukkig nie die term "los 'n plek soos jy hom gekry het nie.". Die kamer het nie gordyne gehad nie, wat dit beter sou maak vir veral dames. Sal weer soontoe gaan.

Our room was an attic room with a thatched roof. Felt like when we were little on the farm. Shared kitchen/dining room that has everything you need. Unfortunately, guests do not know the term "leave a place as you found it.". The room did not have curtains, which would make it better for ladies in particular. Will go there again.

Bugs.

The Manor house exceeded my expectations. What a lovely place, the people are lovely, anything you needed at any time, there was somebody to help. Washing was done for us on a daily bases, the dishes were done and the beds were made. The only small issue we had experienced, was the place was not cleaned before we arrived, thus everything was full of dust, and we had a major issue with spiders and other bugs. Other than that, we cannot complain...you guys are amazing! Thank you Manor House staff!

Heerlik vakansie gehou!

Baie avontuur in redelike veilige omgewing vir 4 jarige. Hou net dop vir die balkon en trappe as jy in die Mill House bly. Vriendelike en behulpsame werknemers. Bestuur is behulpsaam en gretig om probleme te help oplos. Die Mill House se dak lek! Dis ook baie koud in die winter, ten spyte van die groot kaggelvuur. Dis duidelik dat dit 'n baie ou gebou is, blykbaar 300 jaar, en dit kort aandag. Vensters seël nie mooi nie, ens.

Have a great holiday!

Lots of adventure in reasonably safe surroundings for 4 year olds. Just watch out for the balcony and stairs if you stay in the Mill House. Friendly and helpful employees. Management is helpful and eager to help solve problems. The Mill House's roof is leaking! It's also very cold in the winter, despite the big fireplace. It is clear that this is a very old building, apparently 300 years, and it needs attention. Windows don't seal well, etc.

The Mill House has much potential, but was unfortunately very dirty and was misrepresented on the website.

The Mill House has the potential to be a wonderful place. The hosts were friendly, helpful and warm, but the place was dirty. There were marks on the walls, dead flies on counter tops, and we had to wash out the bath ourselves before it could be used. We actually opted not to shower - and to rather do this at home - because we did not feel comfortable to do so. I slept on the couch as I did not want to pull out the extra bed because I was afraid of what I might find. There is mildew in the bathroom and the place is in general disrepair unfortunately. While The Manor House is lovely, and as I said, the hosts were really lovely, the place left us disappointed. I took photos to prove my statements. We did not make a fuss and we paid our way, but we will not stay there again and will not recommend it. It is sad as this is a beautiful place. We were also not made aware of the trap door that leads to an apartment of sorts below. This leaves one feeling a little uneasy. They supplied plenty of firewood, but it was very wet (but I must say, they were kind enough to give more firelighters). The photos on the website are misleading and make the place seem far more modern and well-put together than it is. The bedding doesn't match, the little mats on the floors are dirty and worn, the curtains are extremely dusty (I opened them to bring in some more light) and so on. The decor is really old-fashioned and does not match at all. We were given beach towels as bath towels - not really a problem (we would have been happy with a place that was tidy and neat). It's just that the website gives one the impression that this is a classy place and it really isn't. Again, I think The Manor House may be, but the Mill House is not.

The Manor House 's response

Hi Sam,
So sorry to hear that you were not happy with the accommodation. We have been trying to train the local staff from the farm and Sir Lowry's pass village as part of our contribution to job creation and we have had various degrees of success. We have had a meeting with house-keeping and addressed all of your concerns, and you were correct in letting us know. We would, however, like to rectify the situation and offer you a complimentary night's stay at The Manor House for your family for an evening and include breakfast.
Please let me know when it will suit you.
Kind regards
Carol & Ed
