One of the best places we stayed through our journey to western cape. Apartmant was spacious and very nice. There were only 3 apartments so it was very relaxed and secluded atmosphere. Pool area was fantastic and we relaxed there most of our time. There was beautiful mountain wiev from the pool area. The host was super nice and helpful. It is a fantastic place to charge the batteries when travelling through garden route. I totally recommend to stay there 2 nights because it is so nice to chill at the pool area.

We loved our stay, which unfortunately was too short (just one night). Etienne’s welcome was fantastic, and he gave us excellent recommendations for both the evening restaurant and activities. The accommodation is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Several restaurants are available within a 5-minute walk. I highly recommend this establishment.

Tucked away within the embrace of its historical estate, Rothman Manor is a true testament to timeless elegance and meticulous restoration. Our experience was nothing short of enchanting as we stepped into a world where every detail spoke of a rich heritage lovingly preserved. We opted for two suites during our stay, and we were immediately struck by the impeccable attention to detail in their design and amenities. From the lovely furnishings to the modern conveniences seamlessly integrated into the historical ambiance, every aspect of our accommodation exceeded our expectations. The hotel's crowning jewel is undoubtedly its picturesque garden, a tranquil oasis where time seems to stand still. In addition, the warmth and hospitality of the staff further enhanced our experience, their friendly demeanor and attentiveness ensuring that every request was met with a smile. The breakfast served was a delightful affair, with a variety of delicious offerings to satisfy every palate. In summary, Boutique Hotel Rothman Manor is truly a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Its historical charm, coupled with modern comforts and gracious service, creates an atmosphere of unparalleled tranquility and luxury. For those seeking a retreat from the ordinary, this boutique hotel is indeed a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences.

We only stayed here for one night and the accommodation was great, cozy and comfortable. We had a quick swim in the pool, and after that we headed to a restaurant for dinner, for which Walter helped us make a reservation as it was a busy Saturday evening. We appreciated Walter's recommendations for our drive back to Cape Town, as we ended up seeing beautiful scenery thanks to that! :)
