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.

Zentral gelegen, freundliches Personal, manchmal etwas gebrochener Englisch sprechend, aber insgesamt alles in Ordnung. Fenster müsste. Mal wieder geputzt werden ob manchen Appartments.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at James Guesthouse and can’t wait to come back! The sea view was stunning, and I felt completely safe and at ease throughout my visit. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. The rooms are fantastic, especially the Gentry room with its charming bay window, which adds a unique touch. Breakfast was delicious, with a variety of fresh options that made for the perfect start to each day. The whole house has a cozy, welcoming ambiance, decorated with so much love and attention to detail. I also appreciated the multiple seating areas throughout the guesthouse—perfect for unwinding or reading in a quiet corner. The open bar option was a nice added convenience. The location could hardly be better; whether on foot or by car, everything you need is easily accessible. Highly recommend James Guesthouse for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-appointed stay with a touch of elegance and excellent service.
