The Manor House


A Four Bedroom Historic Home

Size: 415 sqm | 4 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms | Sleeps up to 8 guests, with the option to add an additional child

At the heart of San Gabriel Homestead, the Manor House is a beautifully preserved Cape Dutch farmhouse. Built in the traditional H-shape, its high ceilings, thick stone walls and original fireplaces give the home a wonderful sense of history, while its generous living spaces make it a relaxed and comfortable retreat for families or groups of friends.

The house has four spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. At its centre is a large, fully equipped farm-style kitchen, where the iconic Aga stove is lit during winter, creating a warm and welcoming place to gather. An open-plan dining and lounge area offers plenty of space for shared meals and unhurried evenings together.

A cosy library and TV room, filled with collected artefacts, books and games for adults and children, provides a quiet place to retreat on rainy days or slow afternoons.

Outside, rolling lawns and ancient oak trees surround the Manor House’s private swimming pool, hot tub and braai area. Whether sharing a meal beside the fire, cooling off in the pool or relaxing beneath the stars, the Manor House offers space, character and a memorable setting in which to reconnect with nature and one another.
