Abbey Manor

Abbey Manor

Abbey Manor is a luxury guesthouse set in the upmarket suburb of Oranjezicht, high on the slopes of Table Mountain overlooking Cape Town city.

Dramatic views from sumptuous rooms, each individually decorated. Abbey Manor was built in 1905 in the arts-and-crafts style and has been fully remodelled to ensure the highest level of comfort.

An easy hop from the city centre, the V and A Waterfront and the prime beaches of the Atlantic Seaboard. The suburb of Oranjezicht, meaning sight of orange, was named for the spectacular view it had of the orange groves in the Company Gardens. The Company Gardens were planted by the Dutch East India Company in 1652 to provide vital foods to the passing sea trade.

Abbey Manor was built in 1905 for David Edward McConnell, a British businessman newly arrived in what was then the Cape Colony. David McConnell was a director of the Union Castle Shipping Line, then the primary means of transport between Europe and South Africa.

The house was designed by the architect William Black, who was responsible for a wide range of famous buildings in Cape Town. Although less well-known than his contemporary Herbert Baker, he is more widely renowned for the arts-end-crafts movement in the Cape Province. The original approved council plans are displayed on the main staircase.
