A beautiful place to stay. The staff is excellent. Clive going out of his way to help when I had trouble walking, dropping us at a restaurant and picking us up later, all out of the kindness of his heart. Kalk Bay is a safe place and lovely. Breakfast at StJames Manor was excellent and more than enough food. Eating out was excellent. Beds are comfortable.

Pleasant small hotel.
This is a delightful small hotel where we were very well looked after. it has a very nice little pool for getting away from everything. Restaurants are a short walk away in Kalk Bay. We stayed for a couple of days. Had a lovely large room.

Lovely accommodation with very friendly & helpful staff. It was very quiet - on the first night I think we were the only guests - which felt a bit strange, but I do appreciate we were there at the end of the season. Kalk Bay is a very nice resort with some very nice coffee shops and restaurants, all within walking distance of the manor. Highly recommended!

A little luxury by the ocean
I enjoyed a wonderful stay in the most enormous room with three windows directly overlooking Kalk Bay and the ocean. It felt luxurious in every way, very comfortable, calm, relaxing and spotlessly clean. The welcome was warm and friendly and breakfast was excellent. As I only stayed one night I didn’t have time to enjoy the swimming pool or terrace but I know for next time. Secure parking and walking distance to the centre of Kalk Bay makes this a perfect place to stay enjoy everything about the Kalk Bay Area.
