Abbey Manor is an historical building, now 100 years old, which has been lovingly restored to its former glory, while adding the best that modern technology and comfort can offer.

Breakfast is supplied by a qualified chef, to 5 star standards.

Cultural & Historical interest    
The suburb of Oranjezicht (meaning “sight of orange”) was named for the spectacular view it had of the orange groves in the Company Gardens.

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.

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 then 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.
