LUXURY HOTEL COMFORT.
HOME PERSONALITY.
All the good bits of a hotel. None of the red tape & policies.
CHOOSE YOUR STAY
Every room has a personality. Choose the one that feels like you.
THE WOMAN BEHIND THE MADNESS
Before you blame the décor, the pillows or the champagne… I’m Vanessa, owner of Oak Manor, performer, host, professional fuss-maker and occasional troublemaker.
After travelling the world, and staying in some fabulous, and some not-so-savoury places, I bought Oak Manor because I rather fancied creating the sort of place where hospitality has a pulse. Somewhere beautiful, comfortable and just the right side of fabulous, without anyone hovering around in a blazer asking if everything is to your satisfaction while you’re still trying to find the bathroom.
I believe a good host should notice things. Is your room too warm? Fix it. Want another pillow? Obviously. Staying in bed until an indecent hour? I support you entirely.
I love gorgeous rooms, good food, great stories and people who don’t take themselves too seriously. And I have absolutely no interest in running a place where the answer to everything is “I’m afraid that’s our policy.”
At Oak Manor, we prefer common sense, good taste and the occasional bad decision.
Come for the room. Stay for the hospitality.
Leave wondering why all hotels aren’t run by slightly unhinged performers.
EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT TO BE

Oak Manor drops you right in the middle of everything worth being near. Top schools (Rondebosch, Bishops, Herschel Girls, SACS, Rustenburg and Westerford), Newlands Cricket Grounds, Claremont Head Offices, UCT, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, local restaurants and Cavendish Square. all just a quick, easy hop away. We are also the perfect spot for treatments at the Cape Fertility Clinic and Life Kingsbury Hospital. Some have said, we are dangerously convenient.
