We found this place 5 years ago and are returning every year. The northfacing seaview is incredible, which you do not find very often in SA. It feels like staying at a Big Lake in Switzerland. It is especially recommendable to people who prefer a quiet place not far from Capetown. Within short one can visit all main attractions around... more

We spent a week at Celtic Manor and reluctantly left feeling totally relaxed and part of the family. The room was light, spacious and beautifully furnished, with outstanding views enjoyed from our balcony. The Ottons were most welcoming, as were the staff. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts and the evening meal we had with the family, and made full use... more

The view is world class, with such a wide expanse of ocean its easy to... more

After a few days in central Cape Town, a couple of days in Gordon's Bay was welcomed. Celtic Manor has a hillside setting above one of Gordon's Bay's beaches, with absolutely stunning views across the bay and beyond. We stayed in a standard room which was spacious, clean and comfy with a balcony facing the sea. The breakfasts were delicious!... more

We stayed at the Celtic during the week running up to our wedding in Cape Town, and it was by far the most amazing, relaxing, and welcoming experience we had ever been treated to in South Africa, if not the world.
