Nestled on the slopes of Table Mountain, MannaBay is a contemporary boutique hotel with some of the Mother City’s most breathtaking views. Combine a scenic setting with a central location in the heart of Cape Town, where comfort, privacy and luxury are but a few highlights.
MannaBay celebrates contemporary design with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, marble floors and an impressive collection of modern art. The secluded pool area nestled in the lush green garden, gym, rooftop bar and spacious lounge areas make it a city oasis.
MannaBay’s eight uniquely decorated and designed
rooms (including the lavish Versailles Suite) boast panoramic peeks of the city
and Table Mountain. The hotel sleeps a maximum of 16 guests, ensuring an
exclusive and tailored experience, no matter which room you choose.
The staff’s exacting level of service is not confined within the hotel's walls, either. The team also provides you with expert local advice, restaurant recommendations and guided tours of the city.
