- Very friendly and helpful owner Martin who successfully went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable - we much appreciated - Nice rooms with comfortable beds and large bathroom - Wonderful garden in front of the room with a nice (but small) pool to go for a swim in the morning or to relax when coming back from Cape Town sightseeing - Excellent breakfast with large selection and excellent coffee, e.g. fruit salad, scrambled/ fried eggs with tomato, brown bread, cereal/muesli and much more... - Upon request, we got gluten-free bread for breakfast - including a special bag to toast the gluten-free bread in a normal toaster with contamination of the gluten-free bread - that was great! - Cheap airport transfer to Cape Town International airport

- Pinelands is a short drive by car to get to Gardens / Seapoint View etc. but due to the motorway it was not a big problem for us - If the B&B is fully booked and all guest have their own car, there are not enough parking spaces on the premises but parking is possible on the public road and as it is a side / secondary road it is not a problem from my point of view

The area where the hotel is located is beautiful. It’s about 10 km / 15 minutes with car to the City. The same to the airport. If you have a car , then this is a top place to stay without any doubt. Cape Town city and the area are fully car friendly, so you have no problem to find parking places. I strongly recommend to rent a car to reach any place you want to go very easy and comfortable. It’s a tiny boutique hotel, I guess around 7 rooms. The room, the bed, is absolutely good. in the room you have also refrigerater, hot cup, Microwave, fresh water, tea coffee, etc. . Full info flyer where to go , how, etc. Even you can order something to eat or nearby is a small shopping mall ( 8 Minutes by walk ) where you can eat or buy something to prepare yourself at the hotel. Cleaning is done every day. laundry service is also available. I could write and write, it wouldn’t be enough to inform you how nice this boutique hotel is. maybe one thing to complain, the door to the toilet was old and not well done ( A sliding door ). Martin , the owner is so friendly and helpful ( he is also preparing breakfast) . I guess if you would have some complaints and Martin couldn’t fix it , he would pay you the rental price back. But there are nearly no complaints to find.. If Cape Town and a car and you are looking for a nice boutique hotel then this is absolutely no 1.

nothing to complain

I liked the calmness of the area where the manor is located. I loved the proximity to the airport. I would however advise people looking for an area close to the city centre that this wouldn't be ideal as of the distance and cab fares. Other than that, great place to stay.

I think the host can play around with breakfast for his guests. I found the breakfast so repetitive and boring. It was tasty but it got tiring of eating the same thing every morning.

Had good contact with owner Martin after making the booking and he arranged a shuttle from and to the airport for us, the driver was waiting at the airport when we arrived and on time the next morning too, excellent ! Martin greeted and showed us around upon arrival, the room was very nice and clean and we had a good night sleep. The breakfast was very nice and tasty as well ! All in all we had a good and comfortable stay and Martin proved to be an excellent host !

From the time I booked the communication with Martin was excellent, friendly & informative, all requests were dealt with in a very kind manner. We ordered dinner & refreshments, the three different meals served were wonderful, taste of home-made and good quality ingredients, the beer was cold as requested!! Scrumptious breakfast! delicious fresh fruit, well plated main and good coffee! The garden is fun, full of interesting plants, plants & squirrels, a lovely space to relax. Our garden room was delightful, comfortable & clean & well organised for load-shedding.

Great stay! Martin is a super host. Very convenient if you need to be close to the airport. The room was very comfortable and clean, with lots of space including a nice relaxing balcony. Kettle, fridge, microwave and some cuttlery provided. Great attention to detail. The breakfast is great! I definitely recommend it and will come back when I have to stay close to the airport!

The property has a great location. There is a retail area not far from the property with restaurants, grocery stores, and lots of other retail stores. The property is close enough to the center of the city. You can get an Uber and be downtown in just a few minutes. Martin was very helpful in sharing information about the area. Breakfast was great 💯.

We had a last minute change of plans and opted to choose Howards End Manor because of its ideal location.Our host was super friendly and accommodating to our needs.Electric blankets was most welcoming as it was freezing outside.Best of all was the breakfast served,accompanied by tranquil music.The place itself as a B&B is beautifull,well looked after and worth the stay.

Arriving late after a long flight we were greeted by Martin. The room was large , comfortable and clean. The next morning we had a very good breakfast. The area is safe so you can have a nice walk along the river. Martin is a great host and when we visit Capetown again we will stay at Martin’s place.

Nothing

I liked the hospitality from the staff and management. I also liked the provision of pamphlets of place to explore in Cape Town

I didn't like that specific TV channels were not airing, without having to ask for the staff to put it in.
