Beautifully presented, furnished and maintained house with secure courtyard which is on a split level with a small swimming pool and raised sun terrace on the lower level. The main hallway has a big, comfortable lounge off to the right with the dining area to the rear of that room that leads to the food servery and kitchen beyond which is the first floor open air, covered dining terrace. The breakfasts are great with a cold and hot food buffet plus endless tea and coffee. We had room 10 which is on the lower level and faces the pool. The main bedroom had a very big bed with a comfy armchair, and a desk area that held the tea gear. There was a freestanding fridge and aircon unit. The wardrobes in the backwall were wide and floor to ceiling. The room's safe is bolted low down on the wall by the bed. The tv was on the wall above the sircon unit. At the rear of the room was a big bathroom with wide sink area, a large mirror above it. The loo was to the left and next to that was a huge walk in shower. Again the whole place was immaculate and perfectly maintained. The staff were friendly and welcoming to the extent it was like catching up with old friends. Jerry, the owner is a lovely guy. I suspect he did a lot of the work to create such a great place Sundown Manor is in a great location being one block away from the main strip of bars and restaurants and only two blocks away from the sea front. Ideal for those who like to walk, socialise and have a good night out. It's close enough to the action but far enough away not to be distrubed by revellers and the traffic.

Service was fantastic and this is a well kept small hotel somewhat like a luxury BnB. The breakfast was delicious and well organized with a guest operated capuccino machine. I really liked the honor system to report consuming beer or wine they stocked for their guests. Location was excellent, close to the Mojo Market, Brians Pub, the walkway along the ocean and the hop on hop off bus stop. Seapoint is a safe area within Capetown so we had no worries walking back after dark. The total cost of our stay was extremely reasonable and we loved every minute of our time here.

Location is perfect as you have easy access to great restaurants and the promenade (my favourite activity when in Cape Town). If you walk further up Kloof Road then you have the most magnificent views of the ocean and sunset. Kim, Lerato and Gary (the owner) are fantastic human beings. I felt welcome and at home. My room was perfect and comfortable. The pool is lovely and the views of the mountain and paragliding at breakfast (great breakfast!) are just the perfect backdrop for setting you off nicely as you start your day. Gary will always have guests overflowing as he charges next to nothing for a property that's in such a prime location, so clean and with such great service!

This was the third time we have stayed here, the first being in 2012, and the standards have not slipped. Our room was clean, spacious, large comfy bed, kettle, fridge etc and free WiFi. The breakfast was served buffet style and delicious each morning.Gary was attentive and friendly each morning. There is on site parking. The guesthouse is just a short stroll to numerous bars, restaurants,shops and the sea front. Overall a great place to stay and would definitely stay again.

Fab spot and I would love to have stayed longer. A lucky, last minute discovery with the owner, Garry, greeting me immediately upon my arrival, supporting an early check-in/bag drop, and who was really helpful during my stay, in addition to having very nice staff. Great breakfast selection and Garry very kindly had breakfast available early for me as I had to leave at 7am to catch a flight. Large bedroom and bathroom, very clean, well furnished, nice decor, and looked out on to the pool area. Lovely outdoor shared terrace area and upstairs balcony seating for dining.

The spacious bedroom and bathroom were immacuately cared for on a daily basis. Plenty of choice for breakfast full english, fruit and yoghurts, toast and cereals. Teas and Coffees. The location of the hotel is at the bottom of a hill just above the Seapoint front. At no time did any of us feel under threat.

I recently enjoyed a stay at Sundown Manor, which was truly remarkable. The guest house's proximity to the Cape Town promenade was the pinnacle of my visit, affording easy access to stunning seaside walks and views. Unlike larger hotels, this cozy establishment boasts impressive cleanliness and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Its location is unbeatable, nestled close to the sea and within easy reach of various local shops and eateries.

Although we only stayed 1 night, we think it was a very pleasant and nice guest house. The hosts were incredibly nice and we were very well received. The location is perfect, just close to the beach and with plenty of shops / restaurants around. The room was nice and spacious and we travelled with family who stayed longer and had kids so it's also very kids friendly. We liked the common areas and breakfast was good too.

Repeat purchaser - I had to come back. The location is superb! Beautiful views of signal hill, which is just behind. And one can see paragliders flying off the hill too. And off-street parking is a rare luxury in the city. Pre-check-in communication is a nice touch. The entire place is pin neat. And my room was light & bright. The honesty bar is so endearing. I just love it. The owner wants you to feel comfortable, relaxed and at home. And he remembers all the guests' names and offers suggestions of sites & activities. That local knowledge that a visitor wants to get a real authentic experience. And only the best places Towels were white & fluffy. Aircon AND a fan. Best of both. There was more cupboard space than I have at home. 6 doors, at least with an archway in to the big bathroom with a large mirror and double sink. Which also gets a great amount of bright sunlight which is great for anyone doing makeup. Met the owner today, at breakfast. Great host. I noticed his interactions with each of his guests. It's like talking to an old friend. He is sincere and thoughtful. And has only the best tips & suggestions for a visitor. He is like a like a local experienced tour guide. And the breakfast selection has a wide variety of items. Something for everyone: proteins, muffins, pastries, cereals, breads, jams, big (huge) bowl of fruit, with a selection of yoghurts, different cheeses. It is a lot of choice! But it feels very homely. The staff is on-hand if you have a special request. Filtered coffee, different teas, fruit juices, espresso, cappuccino, americano. In summary, the breakfast covers all the hits, and it covers it well. The guesthouse is very quiet! I did not hear or see anyone else the entire time I was there. I like the entrance on the corner, it's the perfect 'bus stop' for an uber. Easy to find and easy to get dropped off right by your gate.
