Had a wonderful stay at Abington Manor. Brilliantly looked after by Prisca and her team- amazing breakfast. The lodge is immaculate with a lovely pool and garden and is perfectly situated for walking to the beach. Richard took us on two great day trips- firstly to Bloubergstrand and then to two vineyards. Thank you Richard for sharing your extensive local knowledge. We would definitely recommend Abington and we will be back next year! Many thanks
We stayed here on the final leg of our journey around South Africa. Our room was one of the older types available on the property, it was spacious with a good sized bathroom albeit a bit creaky in parts! very comfortable beds and quiet at night. There is a spa in the hotel although it only has a very small outside pool which was a bit disappointing, the spa treatments were excellent some of the best we've had in Africa. The breakfast was good and could be had inside or outside on the terrace, we ate in the main restaurant one night and the food was very good and an exceptional wine list as expected. There is a also a more casual restaurant on the grounds which was very nice as well, tapas style food but worth a visit. We played golf a few times and the course was in very good condition, green fees, buggy, club hire all very reasonable compared to european prices although we did go for a caddy the first day which in hindsight was an issue as he was quite surly and short so we didn't bother the other times we played. There is also a very nice bar/restaurant in the golf club where we ate a few times. I was surprised that there was nowhere to sit and have a drink at night apart from the restaurants. There is also a few restaurants/bars immediately outside of the electric fence/gates which the hotel offered us a shuttle to which was nice. All of the staff were super nice and friendly and exceptionally helpful making recommendations etc. A fab place to stay for spa and golf albeit with a tiny swimming pool.
We booked a ”Standard Twin Room with Courtyard View” and that was excellent value for money. Very friendly staff, clean room, very quiet at night and veeeeeery close to Boulders Beach and the penguins. An ideal location to go hiking at Cape Point . The only 2 negative points: the walls are very thin so you hear the neighbours talking (but once they sleep it's very quiet). And they start serving breakfast too late (only from 9:30 while we are used to have breakfast at 7am, especially when we do day hikes.)
