This graciously restored Victorian House with its beautiful pressed ceilings and Oregon pine floors and doors, is one hundred and three years old. Situated close to central Cape Town, a six minute car journey takes you to the Water front or Table Mountain. There is a small swimming pool where guests can relax.

There is also a TV with SABC, E-TV, M-net and satellite. This area is open, dependant on the weather for teas, light lunches and drinks. Approximately 36 guests can be seated. The architecture of the manor house has created a quadrangular, wind-free courtyard which houses the pool, as well as the braai area and of course the conference centre. A paved al fresco outdoor eating area, leads off the pool area. Braais are a speciality and are prepared in a participative atmosphere facilitating relaxation and fun.
