“Lovely accommodations! Spectacular view!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Four of us stayed for two nights (I could have stayed here for my entire 2 week trip) in early January 2012. What a marvelous surprise. The Manor is located high above Gordon's Bay on a very quiet street. On street parking was no problem and always available.

Our rooms were very clean and well appointed with wonderful mattresses,linens and towels. Our bathroom was directly across the hall from our room..not an issue; my parents had a suite and ensuite bath as well. Our outside balcony overlooked False Bay and the view was phenomenal. My sister said it reminded her of Monte Carlo!

Each morning a continental breakfast of cereals/granola/wholegrain rolls & breads, a selections of jams/jellies and juices is offered. We were also offered a full hot breakfast. What a treat to wake up, eat a delicious breakfast and overlook False Bay.

Unfortunately we couldn't take advantage of the spa offerings as we were gone most of the days touring. Lounging by the pool in late afternoon was a real treat.

The owners were very much hands on and the staff are very gracious. We would recommend Celtic Manor as a place to relax and explore Cape Town, Hermanus, Somerset West and the surrounding wine country.

“"Wonderful!"”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

We spent a lovely 3 nights at Celtic Manor Guest House over Christmas 2011. Jane and Alan, the owners, have found a winning combination: a warm and personal welcome, a dedicated and friendly team of staff, a delicious breakfast, breathtaking views, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean throughout. Our room was delightful and the view from our balcony out across Gordon's Bay magnificent. My one regret was not having time to enjoy the spa facilities, but I'll be back! Celtic Manor could easily be used as a base to explore the Cape region. At half an hour's drive from Cape Town it is a comfortable day-trip, whilst being far enough away from the tourist hustle and bustle, nestled at the sleepy end of Gordon's Bay. Bliss!

“Rejuvenate | Relax | Re-Energise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

I came across Celtic Manor & Spa quite by accident. I was looking for a Spa breakaway, but close to home. Celtic Manor is out of this world. The sweeping views across the Bay ensured endless views of sun set and the yachts bobbing in the harbor. The staff were attentive, friendly. The food was just spectacular! The Spa was amazing. I normally do not stay twice at the same place, but I would make an exception for Celtic Manor!

“A gem of a luxury guest house and spa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2010

I have just stayed at Celtic Manor for the second time. Jane and Alan and the rest of the staff make you feel incredibly welcome. It is spotlessly clean, serves a fantastic breakfast, has breathtaking views across the bay and all the treatments I had in the spa were on a par with any I have ever had (and I have had many!). They are very knowledgeable about the area and what excursions/activities are available. Would recommend in an instant.

“The best location for a visit to the Western Cape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2010

Not just a superbly located guest house and Spa, but a real home from home with the most spectacular views across False Bay to Table Mountain. Whether you are just needing a bed for a couple of night or perhaps a location for a really special weekend, Celtic Manor offers the lot. There is nothing to fault, from Jane and Allan's welcome to the toal package of food and drink available. It might only be advertised as a bed and breakfast guest house, but talk to Allan or Jane about the most incredible location for a dinner and you will not be disappointed. As fgor the bed rooms, they are to die for, as you lie in bed looking out across the bay with only the sound of the waves breaking on the beach at Bikini Bay to disturb you.
This was our second visit and we will be back
