275 guests' feedbackWas a very pleasant.
What an absolute pleasure to stay there. This was our second time and I will definitely stay there again.
Lovely, safe place to sleep in historic house.
We had a wonderful stay and the breakfast was delicious.
Absolutely stunning! Friendliest staff and service. A definite recommendation if you are planning to stop over in Victoria West!
We were warmly received, everything was well explained, beautiful place.
Schalk is the perfect host. He takes care of breakfast himself in the exquisite breakfast room. The plank floors in the restored mansion give you the feeling that you are now in the countryside.
We stayed nice and warm, because it was bitterly cold. Our host went out of his way to make us feel at home.
We were delighted by the venue, the rooms and the helpful staff! What a wonderful place to stay! The host was an encyclopedia of information about the town and the renovated house we stayed in. He made the most delicious breakfast for us too! The restaurant where we had supper was also a great find. We had the tastiest vegetarian pasta dish we have tasted in a long while. Will definitely be back to the town, the venue and restaurant!
We arrived earlier than planned. We were generously welcomed, and nothing was too much trouble. Even when we preferred a different room - than we booked!
Helpful staff. Clean and comfortable.
We stayed overnight and the guest house was very neat and tastefully furnished. The host is very pleasant and made us feel very welcome and at home. Beautiful home and you can tell they are proud to share it with us. The breakfast the next morning was deliciously prepared. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
This is the second time we have stayed at Moonlight Manor and as before, it did not disappoint. We will definitely be staying again on our next trip to the Cape. The fact that you get a good meal at the restaurant down the road is a plus when stopping over for one night.
Lovely, most beautiful house and room.
Moonlight Manor is the ideal place to stay in Victoria West with a beautiful view.
Convenient, comfortable, and beautiful experience.
Very nice stay, beautiful, neat place and host very friendly. Feel free to pack your hiking clothes and head out for the Karoo mosquitoes which can be troublesome!
Thank you for the delicious breakfast and hospitality. The location is excellent - the ideal stopover on the way to the Cape.
Very neat and clean place to stay with everything as advertised.
This guest house is a 'gem' in the middle of the Karoo equipped with everything you need to experience a peaceful time. The staff is very friendly, premises and rooms are clean and tidy. The finest detail can be noticed which is the quality of a 5-star hotel. Great! We will definitely come again. The owner is also the owner of the Ka Roux restaurant that is run in the town.
What a lovely place this was, it ticked all the right boxes! The breakfast is amazing and highly recommended!
Clean and tidy place, with a very calm and peaceful atmosphere. The hospitality and personal attention make it a wonderful oasis en route through the Karoo.
It was very pleasant.
We were kindly received. Room was well furnished and tidy. Ideal for an overnight stay on the way to Cape Town.
Absolutely. Not only did we have a nice stay, but we had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the beauty of nature. Staff is friendly and the room is very neat and well equipped. Their breakfast is delicious.
Moonlight Manor is the perfect stopover with beautiful decor and an old fashioned breakfast experience. It is a safe area and quiet, away from the road and town noise. It is perfect for a weekend getaway and even longer. The host is very friendly and remembers your name the second time! Rest or tour past Moonlight Manor and walk the hiking trails up the hill or down the street to a beautiful deli! This is definitely a place not to be missed. Secure our regular stop going forward!
It was nice to see a new town and place. Nice to chat with people from the guest house. Would love to go back again.
It is the ideal place to sleep over after a long journey. Friendly service and hospitality. Warm beds in winter. Thank you very much, would highly recommend for the weary traveller.
Moonlight Manor is in a league of its own! Foodies won't be able to fault it — fantastic value for money. Thank you very much, Schalk — also the Karoux Restaurant was 5-star food and service!
Friendly, helpful staff. Pleasant night and a good breakfast.
It's our second time staying at Moonlight Manor. Lovely place. Always neat and recommended. Everything is nicely organized, especially with load shedding. Thank you.
We arrived late, as arranged, and were greeted by wonderful, cheerful staff who showed us to our rooms, helped with luggage and showed us arrangements for loadshedding. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed, with crisp, clean white linen. The open-plan bathroom arrangement is a little startling for the older generation not used to it, but functions fine. Delicious breakfast was served in the dining room to suit our timetable. Will definitely return.
Beautifully restored home. Spacious room and beautiful living areas.
This was our second stay at Moonlight Manor. Highly recommended. We will be back again.
The Manor has a restaurant where you can eat but is not on site and our food was top notch, really tasty.
Next time we will definitely stay longer.
We were pleasantly surprised.
Very well received. Beautiful courtyard and gardens. Friendly staff and chat with owner.
Friendly reception at a beautiful house. Comfortable room and bathroom with secure parking.
Beautiful place, we really enjoyed it.
Had only one problem with the air conditioner due to load shedding started ringing the alarm at 4 o'clock in the morning. The problem has been reported to management and I believe it will be sorted out.
We were tired after a long day on the road and slept very well.
Perfect after a long journey.
Our experience has always been very nice.
Comfortable accommodation and quality in all respects.
We had delicious food! Also at Ka'Roux restaurant.
Ka'Roux restaurant can be highly recommended.
Service was great from our reception until we left in the morning. It's a lovely old house, wonderfully maintained and with the most beautiful furniture! Excellent mattress and plenty of warm bedding to keep out the winter cold. We enjoyed a great dinner at Ka'Roux restaurant (delicious lamb shanks and springbok fillet) which also belongs to the guest house's owners ─ they had already booked for dinner upon our arrival ─ and our breakfast at the guest house was tasty and ample . Only problem was that we caught the load shedding very badly ─ thanks Eskom. In our room, the shower, toilet and sink were completely open plan, just with a screen ─ not a problem for us, but if that's a problem for you, just ask for a room with a separate bathroom. Go stay there, you won't regret it!
Friendly reception. Dinner at the restaurant was very good and prices very reasonable. Breakfast was very good and prepared as requested. Good service in general and rooms were neat and well equipped. Limited TV channels available. WiFi is good.
This is a very comfortable luxurious accommodation. Very nicely thought out and clean.
Very pleasant and food at Karoux restaurant was excellent.
Overnight on the way to Wesksaap. Friendly helpful staff. The manor has an interesting history, feel free to ask the owners about this. Make sure you stop by the Ka'Roux restaurant for exceptional food.
Also very beautiful. For the price I think a full DSTV package would be nice.
The accommodation is pleasant, nothing is lacking for an overnight destination. Would just suggest they fix toilet seat in no 2. It is not hygienic that seat is so battered, this is the reason for low score.
Lovely and great. Recommend.
The best place to stay.
Beautiful old restored house. Neat and tidy and very good reception. Quiet atmosphere and a real experience in the Karoo.
The old home has been tastefully restored and it is a privilege to stay there. The owners and staff could not have been more helpful and caring - especially with regard to accommodating to my 95-year-old mother's needs.
Went to run literally around a town and through a springbok farm. Hundreds if not thousands of bokkies there. Super safe place to stay.
We stayed here overnight on our way to Darling after many long hours of traveling. The rooms are beautifully decorated with the original antique setting to match the setting of when the manor was first built. The bedding was clean. I didn't like the shower and toilet in the same room as the bedroom without a proper partition. That however suited the practicality of the setting of the manor. We had a wonderful breakfast served the dinning room. It is truly a gem in the countryside.
This old-world guest house with all the modern conveniences is an absolute must on any traveller's itinerary.
Mountain behind and absolute silence. No trucks or traffic heard. Personal service.
See stars.
Was a very positive experience.
Very friendly reception! The electric blanket was a bonus for the cold evenings. We will be back next year for the Classics! Thank you Sven. it was nice with you!
Neat place. Good facilities and one feels very special to be at home in such a place. Will definitely stay there again in the future.
We stayed in the most beautiful outdoor cottage. Clean and beautiful. Receptionist was extremely helpful. Will definitely stay there again.
One of the best guest houses that I have stayed at over the last 30 years.
The house is a gem. So much character. Friendly staff and the owner made sure that we are comfortable and looked after all our needs.
Excellent service in a beautiful house, definitely worth a visit.
Had a great overnight stay which ended in a lovely breakfast. Highly recommended.
The facilities are of high quality and the restoration of the house impressive. Very helpful, friendly and the breakfast was top quality.
Pleasant experience. Will stay there again.
Warm and friendly welcome by owner and staff. Very clean and tidy. Everything you need for a wonderful sleepover. Going to visit again.
Can really recommend for overnight stays.
A great little stopover en route to the Cape. Hosts were extremely helpful and attentive.
Lovely place and very calming. Was lovely to sit on the lawn and just relax. Room was comfy and clean. Lovely place for a stay over and we will be back.
Owners and staff are very friendly and hospitable. A lot of effort is made to make you feel at home in the beautiful, very tidy house. Will always spend the night there.
It's a really lovely place, very nicely decorated with antique furniture and wooden floors. We slept well and we can really recommend the lamb chops from Ka'Roux restaurant. Don't drive on without some of the owner's home-baked biscuits!
The reception was a friendly and pleasant reception. Cold place in winter with a warm welcome and warm comfortable rooms where you can get a good night's rest.
Great service and great people.
Would recommend Moonlight Manor for an overnight stay in Victoria West, very comfortable and the breakfast is very tasty.
Would be good to put at least complimentary water in the room for guests, the rest of the mini bar for payments is completely understandable.
The toilet in the bedroom is unacceptable! An embarrassment to most educated people.
The en suite bathroom is definitely misleading. Maybe the ad could mention that it's en-suite setup. It is an all in one room, double bed, toilet and shower, sitting area with TV (very limited DStv package) in one room, with no privacy. The slight partition between the toilet and mirror cabinet really means nothing. It's strange to experience the bathroom smells while making yourself a coffee, or watching TV. The room was tidy, bed was comfortable, service was friendly and breakfast quite standard. The electricity was a bit of a problem, when I wanted to blow dry my hair in the morning, but in the end I was able to get it dry. I don't think I will stay here again.
When I was still asleep, housekeeping (presumably) tried to get into my room. They did not knock, they just tried to unlock my room. This was before checkout time. They still charge R95 extra for breakfast, even when they have loadshedding and cannot make things, like toast. There is no bottle opener for the beer they provide in the fridge, which is a small thing, but they also don't have a big trash bin for the room. The cars are not behind locked gates, they are just parked in front if the manor. The place is clean, the staff are friendly, but I would not stay here again. They do not have a generator, but their prices remain the same.
The reception was great and the food from the top seats. Anyone can visit there. Everything was awesome.
See stars.
Moonlight Manor is one of the best guesthouses we have ever stayed in. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The meals at Moonlight Manor are some of the best and the rooms are very clean and luxurious.
Very friendly, helpful staff. A lot of effort went into filling our flask with delicious filter coffee for the road. Delicious breakfast pack packed for the road. Just missed a hair dryer. Thank you very much!
Shower just a little small, everything else in order. Everyone very friendly and offered to book us a place for dinner at Ka'Roux the day before and would definitely recommend anyone to eat there too. The mutton tails and springbok fillet 10/10. Our visit to Victoria West was lovely.
Was able to relax wonderfully after a whole day on the road.
Fantastic beautiful place to see when traveling.
Perfect overnight stop. Prepare well to switch off.
We have been to many guesthouses, and this is by far the best one we have been to!
The rooms were clean and comfortably equipped. The dinner at the restaurant was delicious as well as the breakfast. Definitely worth it and the perfect halfway spot if you have to drive down to Cape Town for a holiday.
It was very nice! Very special to stay in such an old house and beautiful room.
We were warmly welcomed by the receptionist. Room is beautifully decorated. Had the most delicious meal at the nearby Ka Roux Restaurant.
Beautiful house with antique decor. Very comfortable rooms with everything you need. Had a great sleep.
Typical Karoo character. Large porch for relaxing. Coldroom.
Lovely, refreshing stay in the Karoo. Friendly, hospitable owners. Don't miss a meal at the Ka'roux Restaurant.
I honestly can't find any fault with Moonlight Manor. I only wish we could stay longer. Everything was just perfect: lovely beds and pillows, electric blankets, lovely veranda with views, delicious breakfasts, tasteful and interesting interior, fantastic service, safe parking, etc. etc. Thanks Jackie, Sven and Schalk ─ we really enjoyed it!
Very nice guest house with friendly service. Everything was clean and tidy. I will definitely stay there again.
Beautiful guest house and very peaceful atmosphere.
I was pleasantly surprised with this 126 year old home. Not really meant for older or disabled people due to steps. I enjoyed the breakfast the next day.
Everything was neat, clean and as advertised.
Everything you need was there, and more. Even treats like a Nespresso machine in the room. Everything was just delicious and comfortable.
Great stay for a night. Not much to do in the area at all, but most people just pass through for a night. Great accommodation, breakfast was nice, staff was very friendly. Highly recommended.
Breakfast at R80/head was good value for money.
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful guest house stay. Spacious, beautifully decorated rooms and the friendly, personal service were the icing on the cake. I can recommend the guesthouse.
This is a beautifully restored Victorian home with many amenities and treats. We highly recommend Moonlight Manor for an overnight stay. Delicious meal in restaurant Ka Roux.
We stopped at Moonlight Manor, a beautifully restored guest house on the quieter side of Victoria West, on our way to Mokala. The service was very friendly and professional throughout. The owner also owns a restaurant in town that serves delicious meals. Moonlight Manor was definitely a good choice and we would love to stay here again.
Value for money - for sure. Meals are great. The idea of the bathroom being part of the room is uncomfortable and unacceptable.
We were especially impressed by the person that showed us to our room as well as the wonderful breakfast.
Excellent value for money. Friendly service.
The place is beautiful and the hosts pamper you. We will definitely stay there again!
Hostess was very incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything was pretty neat and perfect.
Moonlight Manor is definitely one of Victoria West's brightest gems! Moonlight Manor exceeded our expectations! The owners are friendly, helpful and professional. The rooms are elegantly decorated, clean and cozy.
The guest house is very neat and clean. The people are very friendly and the rooms were large and contained everything one needs. The village has a lot to offer, with many beautiful old architectural buildings.
The breakfast was good value. The restaurant recommendation - Ka Roux - for supper was spot on. The scorpion outside the door in the morning was a reminder to be vigilant and not walk barefoot outside. The staff efficiently handled it.
Nice place to stay if you are traveling in that direction, either alone or with travel companions. Slept over Sunday night and the restaurant was closed, then had to eat at the local hotel.
This is a beautiful and stately residence with lots of character. The rooms are beautiful. We stayed in the queen suite and it was very spacious. Unfortunately, our air conditioner did not work and because there were guests in room 3 next door and the door is not soundproof, the sounds from the room next door were disturbing.
They are very nice and friendly and nice place.
Very nice stop on our way to the Cape. Neat place and the owner is very friendly. We just had a great time!
Our stay was very comfortable.
Service very friendly and helpful. Schalk (owner) was very friendly and very good tour guide too.
No regrets about the choice at all. Will recommend to others for sure.
Beautiful guesthouse in the middle of the Karoo. Wooden floors and beautifully furnished with antiques. You are spoiled with a Nespresso coffee machine in the room! We enjoyed the stoep immensely and often drank a coffee with the summer breeze cooling us down a little. However, the bathroom is partitioned off within the room, and not separate for privacy. The staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant (Ka'Roux) is not on the premises, but definitely worth a visit.
We had to collect our dinner ourselves and it was difficult to get to the place to eat due to roadworks in town. We also feel that guests are unnecessarily exposed to moving around extra in unfamiliar town, especially now with Covid regulations. Staff were also not entirely helpful especially with check-in (it's quite a few awkward stairs especially for older people with luggage etc.). We had to ask someone to come and help us.
Unhygienic plumbing situation.
Lovely, stylish mansion clearly cared for with love. Staff were friendly and we felt right at home and welcome.
The restaurant was excellent!
An oasis in the Karoo. Stylish guest house with very good service and friendly staff.
We were pleasantly surprised by the friendly and warm reception - the room was neat & clean and fully equipped. The breakfast was out of the books and we will definitely stay here again - next time just for two or more nights, not just the one we did last time! One more thing - we also went to eat at their restaurant - Karoux, and it was highly recommended!
I often travel between Cape Town and Johannesburg. Victoria West is more or less in the middle, where I recently stayed for the fourth time at the Moonlight Manor. The mansion has been lovingly restored and tastefully furnished. Feel free to pay that extra bit for breakfast, which the host will personally prepare for you. Delicious!
The room in the beautiful house with its cool veranda was just right for overnight purposes on the long road. Everything was exactly as advertised. Clean, neat, tasteful, and comfortable. The reception was very friendly, the information helpful, and the check-in and check-out were seamless. I will book there again.
This typical Karoo palace has been beautifully renovated and converted into several rooms. The atmosphere is as expected from most Karoo towns. The tranquility takes hold quickly so that you can relax after a day on the road. Truly a special place.
Very neat and clean. We received the most delicious breakfast and dinner.
On our arrival on Sunday afternoon we were welcomed by the most friendly receptionist. She was ready to show us where our room was, how everything worked in the room, and it was so lovely to walk in and the air conditioning was already on and the room was wonderfully cool. Nothing was too much trouble for her. I must add that our room was beautifully clean and everything in its place. The next morning we were surprised with the most beautiful and delicious breakfast served by one of the owners and he was not at all shy to share with us the guest house's history, in which we are very interested. We felt as if we were at home at the guest house and it is truly a gem that is nicely hidden at the back of the village with the most beautiful view of the mountain. If you go to the Cape, feel free to stay here, you won't regret it.
The Nespresso machine was a nice surprise.
Really enjoyed our stop over at Moonlight Manor. Our only regret was that we didn't arrive a little earlier so that we could enjoy the environment more. Lovely friendly welcome and excellent service. Highly recommended.
See you every year. The restaurant Karoux they also run is fantastic and the food is top notch. Value for money guaranteed.
Lots of character, and the K'roux's food fantastic.
The breakfast was top notch, not to mention the restaurant's food. Would recommend Moonlight Manor to anyone looking for a place to stay.
More than adequate for need. Was only overnight so as not to travel at night.
Very nice place to stay and top notch restaurant.
We travelled for business, but it was great to see Victoria West for the first time and staying at Moonlight Manor was lovely. Our room was nice and big and I know this is random, but the towels were so soft, which was so nice!
So peaceful here. Had the best breakfast. Also had the most delicious food at the Ka'Roux Restaurant.
We had a very nice and was beautiful.
Very neat accommodation with friendly and helpful staff. Good value for money. Lovely English breakfast with fresh fruit salad as a starter and delicious filter coffee to round everything off nicely.
Had a great night's sleep, with a top-notch breakfast!
Very comfortable and neat.
A good alternative to Beaufort West.
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was of the best. Will definitely visit again.
Clean and tidy rooms, although the one with 2 single beds is very small. Our dog was also welcome and we will spend the night there again.
Rooms are so beautiful. Love the laminate floors and old fashioned furniture. We spent the night at Moonlight Manor. Sorry only that their restaurant was on a Sunday evening but they quickly referred us to the restaurant at the Hotel. Delicious food. The bathrooms that are so open in the rooms are a bit strange. Furthermore, we slept well and our vehicle was safe in their area.
Wasn't really there long enough.
Stunning house, rooms, service and staff. All that bothered was that an aircon would be nice, but I personally didn't like the shower and toilet being part of the room. It would have been nice if they could isolate it a bit or inform you beforehand that the toilet and shower is part of the room and not cornered off at all, a bit bad especially if you are friends sharing the room, even for a married couple it won't be nice. Other than that it really was very nice!
Very clean and tidy.
Room very bright due to external lights and window above the door which has no cover.
Very nice place, will stay for more than one night in the future. I received very good service here and would definitely recommend Moonlight Manor to people.
I was pleasantly surprised by this guesthouse. This is Victorian glamour in a small Karoo town. The owners was warm and friendly. Will recommend this place everyone out there.
Beautiful old restored house with location against a hill. A nice surprise was the Karoo dinner at K'aroux restaurant.
No twists and turns. All you expected and what you get. Yet it is also romantic.
Accommodation was comfortable, the rooms well equipped and the staff very friendly. A short hike at the back of property gives you lovely views over Victoria West and the land beyond it.
Very good overnight facility.
What an incredibly beautiful place with beautiful clean rooms with everything you need. Breakfast from the upper branches. Will definitely use them again.
Beautiful, lovely guest house, clean and beautiful. Best meals, kind and friendly hosts. Had a really nice sleep over there! Thank you very much Sven and Schalk for your kindness and hospitality.
Thank you for a wonderful stay. We were well rested. We will always remember our lovely stay.
Warm and friendly welcome. Nice and tidy rooms in the old house with wooden floors. Really luxurious and comfortable for a very affordable price! Hospitable village. Highly recommendable!
The whole house was beautiful. Room comfortable. Enjoy safe parking and your own outside door to sit quietly outside. Received very hospitably. Felt very at home. Well done!
See stars.
Moonlight Manor - good overnight destination.
Really a good place to stay. The owners are very friendly. If you want to sleep in Victoria West this is the place to choose. Feel free to eat the breakfast, best I've had in a long time.
The owners and staff went out of their way to make us feel at home and meet our needs. The Karoo silence and delicious breakfast was definitely an experience that will stand out.
Friendly and helpful reception. Everything was excellent, thank you.
It was an unforgettable experience. The location is perfect. The owners were very friendly and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend the place to anyone.
Moonlight Manor is a beautiful guest house to stay overnight as you drive through Victoria West. Our room was beautiful, clean and we had a great rest. Staff on duty were so friendly and made us feel very welcome.
Victoria West is a beautiful town and Moonlight Manor fits in very nicely with the town and its beautiful architecture.
Very well equipped. Good value for money and room was equipped with everything we needed.
Was a quick overnighter. Room is very neat and quiet environment.
The atmosphere is pleasant.
Very neat, friendly reception.
None of the photos on the website show warn you that the toilet is right in the room. Compared to this complaint the lumpy mattress, extremely creaky floors, poor lighting and the problem we had with the air-con seemed minor problems. Moonlight Manor appears elegant and has old-world charm (and serves a delicious breakfast) but...
Pleasant accommodation in a neat room. Just wanted a microwave. The noises made by the plank floors was also something we had to get used to!
It's beautiful, creaking wooden floors and air conditioning in the heat that will keep you from melting. Beautiful and neat.
What a delightful experience of old world elegance in the Karoo. Schalk and Sven made us feel at home in their dream. Thank you very much, will definitely visit again.
See stars.
We were so surprised to find the beautiful place, with everything you need and we really enjoyed it. It was lovely to hang out on the large veranda in front of our rooms and then also get interesting information about the village and surroundings from our host Schalk. The evening breeze and the Karoo scenery were wonderful. We were able to enjoy further hospitality at Ka'Roux where Sven prepared delicious meals and Frikkie made us laugh. Our first overnight stay in the Karoo was an experience. Thank you very much!
We had a lovely stay at Moonlight Manor and dinner at Karoux was delicious. It will definitely become our preferred place to stay in the Karoo. Schalk and Sven are the perfect hosts.
Everything was very tidy and tasteful. Reception was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. We will visit Moonlight Manor again and highly recommend to others.
Schalk was very welcoming and even assisted with our heavy suitcases. I will definitely recommend Moonlight Manor and will stay there again. The breakfast was superb. You truly have a little gem in Victoria West.
Beautifully restored old house, beautiful decor. Kind host. Lovely breakfast. The room was very small with open toilet and shower. They did acknowledge it to be their smallest room which they usually allocate to single travellers, but we were the only guests there. However, would like to stay there again.
The room was beautiful and clean. People friendly and make you feel at home immediately. Thank you very much.
The location is truly one for the books. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service was extremely pleasant. In the heart of a quiet town they certainly have a great reputation.
Can definitely recommend it, everything was perfect, I really enjoyed my stay, thank you.
Very hospitable, tidy, they think of everything you would need, no matter the season and carry people on their hands. Had a fanatical time.
Had a nice breakfast. Stylish, antique place. Thanks.
Very comfortable room, but I would suggest a separate screen to partition off the shower and toilet.
Had the necessary facilities for self-catering, yet with the convenience of a hotel.
It's a quiet environment with a nice atmosphere. The hostess is very friendly and willing to wait for people until late. The rooms are very spacious and the WiFi works. There is enough heating for those cold winter days. The breakfast hours are very flexible for early departure to next destination. The parking is not too far, one has to take into account that the house sits on a little hill with the most beautiful view ever.
I was greeted by the owner. Was pleasant. I would stay there again.
We will be back! What an enjoyable stay at this beautiful house with its old-world charm. The welcome was great, the accommodation was excellent (no you cannot take the bed with you).
It's like a hotel, better than a hotel and it has character. The owners greet you personally, remember your name and make everything easy. The house is like better than an art gallery.
Lovely setting, great staff and tasty food. Will recommend.
' Blending of "stately old" and "fresh new". Modern artwork and decor compliment the beautiful old home and matching furniture. The cookies and tea on the porch made us feel right at home!
Well located if you want to avoid the N1. Beautiful guest house and good food at restaurants. Friendly people and would definitely recommend!
Our stay at Moonlight Manor was perfect. Both Schalk and Sven where perfect hosts. They could not do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The old Manor House is situated in a very nice location and is tastefully decorated. They were actually carrying out further improvements to make it even better. We had a meal at a restaurant in the town on the first night of our stay but as this was not up to standard Sven offered to prepare a meal for us on the second night. This was fantastic. We had Karoo lamb shanks. We would definitely stay in Moonlight Manor again if we were to return to Victoria West.
We were very warmly received by Cari (hope I spelled your name correctly!) and the guest house is something special. Room was very neat and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Also feel free to eat at the Ka'Roux restaurant, the food is fantastic! Thank you, hopefully see you again soon!
Warm welcome, the rooms are neat and clean. Breakfast was also very nice.
Schalk went to great lengths to meet every request. The house has a beautiful view that creates a special impression upon arrival. Delicious breakfast is served.

Moonlight Manor is an old stately home with lots of character. Facilities are good and the service excellent. I just would've like light outside at the back of the house when coming back after a night out such as a wedding.
A nice stay and overnight destination.

Beautiful room, comfortable beds, hospitable host. The dinner was nice, but a bit expensive for what you get,
The guest house has character that matches the character of the village. Friendly reception. The village is quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Thank you for a lovely night in Moonlight Manor. The room was clean and neat. Will definitely recommend it!
A guesthouse with a great story, unique and neat rooms and a lovely patio from where to watch the stars.
See stars.
Stylish, clean, spacious, friendly.
Our reception was excellent, the friendliness and helpfulness was great and everything else was just very nice and pleasant. Will definitely come back here again.
We travel a lot and have stayed over at plenty of Guest Houses. Moonlight Manor is indeed an oasis in the Karoo. The reception we got was first class. Very friendly, smiling and assisted us with everything to get settled in. Decoration in room is gorgeous and so comfortable. Outside we had a lovely table with chairs and a lovely braai area. I would recommend them to anyone who travels though the Karoo.
We can only say thank you for a friendly welcome, neat, spacious room and great company! Secure parking. A good stopover on the way to the Cape. Quiet and peaceful with everything your heart desires. Thank you Sven and Schalk!
It's a very nice place and very friendly people will recommend you at any time.
Great night's rest between sea and home. Friendly hosts. Will use again!
Quiet area of town, good beds, very friendly hosts. We had dinner at the Victoria West Hotel which was excellent and good value for money.
The room and premises were pretty, clean and very neat. The staff was friendly and nice people.
Wonderful people and guest house. Incredibly delicious dinners. Definitely recommend for everyone.
Beautiful guesthouse. The service was fantastic. The owners are great people. Their meals are master chef quality. The rooms were neat and beautiful. So glad we're staying there again on Sunday.
Our self-catering unit was nice and spacious and well equipped. Most beautiful view from the garden toward the hill behind the house.
It was a very nice house and room and the breakfast was so tasty, it felt like being at home, relaxing and comfortable, really want to go there again!
Moonlight manor was a surprise. The rooms are exquisite, the bedding crisp white and warm blankets banished the Karoo cold. The reception was warm and personal. The art on the walls made it feel like home. We enjoyed the tea in the shopping center and the dinner in the hotel was excellent. Definitely a place I want to go back to and stay longer.
Charming old house, wondeful character. Everything you need and good value for money. Highly recommended and will stay there again.
This was a great choice of accommodation. The family room satisfied all our needs. It is a very neat guesthouse with friendly staff and a delicious breakfast.
Our stay at Moonlight Manor exceeded all our expectations. You have to stay at Moonlight Manor if you ever visit Victoria-West. Friendly reception by our hosts and we felt at home immediately. Ka'Roux, the restaurant is managed by the owners of Moonlight Manor, what an unforgettable experience. Next time I wil even take a detour so I can stay at Moonlight Manor again.
It felt like a home where people don't want to leave. The breakfast was delicious and presented well. The rooms are furnished very tastefully. I have told a couple of people and will recommend it to anyone.
The welcoming was warm and we immediately felt at home. The guesthouse is lovely with beautiful detail. Was great to spend the night there. Just a pity it was so short.
Very neat place, clean and refreshing.
Beautiful house! It does have plank floors that creak incredibly and the rooms are not very soundproof, but nevertheless, still very clean and tidy. And the air conditioner in the room is a winner. We had dinner at the restaurant at the hotel, what an experience! The food was of excellent quality. Great experience so in the middle of nowhere.
I can recommend Moonlight Manor anytime. We were warmly received and the dinner at the hotel was excellent. Rooms are beautifully furnished. The only comment is that the many stairs made it difficult for older people to climb up! A railing by the two staircases would've helped! It might help to cleary state on the website that there are lots of stairs to climb! More signage along the way to Moonlight Manor might make it easier for guests to find. The rest was five star!
See the stars.
Owners are friendly - go our of their way to make you feel comfortable - just a shame there was no municipal water the following morning - out of owners' control!
Cute little place, but in certain rooms the bed, toilet and shower are right together. It makes it uncomfortable if two people are traveling together, so I wouldn't recommend certain rooms. For single people it works fine, but not when you are traveling with someone. The owners are nice and friendly and the beds sleep well.
Moonlight Manor was a highlight on our trip. The lovely house is far prettier than on the pictures in the advertisement. Sven is a warm, pleasant and caring host that really cares about his guests. Moonlight Manor will definitely be a stopover on our next trip.
Fantastic breakfast with friendly people and very good service, we will visit again.
The hosts were very friendly and professional. The rooms, although very nice and well restored, offer little privacy with everything being open plan with the bedroom. Personally, we would like better privacy. Unfortunately, one often smells the sewage system outside the rooms. The old wooden plank floors also unfortunately make a lot of noise. We would also have greatly appreciated it if the owners could have informed us ahead of time of the water supply problems the town is experiencing. Apart from these things, which were not a massive problem for one night's sleep, we had a very nice stay and enjoyed the facilities.
We were very kindly received and enjoyed our short time at Moonlight Manor very much and would definitely be able to recommend them.
We had a friendly reception and was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful rooms and house, even though we did not know before hand that the room that we booked did not have a separate bathroom. It is a little uncomfortable. Other wise we had a nice stay and slept warm. Will make use of you again.
Very pleasant accommodation in a house filled with old world elegance. The meal at Ka'Roux was delicious. What a peaceful little town.
Good value for money with very friendly and helpful staff. Room was neat and clean and facilities sufficient. An air conditioner would have been a bonus.
Beautiful guest house. Indoor decoration very tasteful. Owner very friendly.
Beautiful old house with a tranquil atmosphere. Neat and clean and well-equipped with everything that you need. Friendly hosts and delicious breakfast. Will definitely recommend it.
Very neat, we really enjoyed it. Thank you Schalk and Sven for your hospitality, the food was delicious.
Wonderful atmosphere that go out of their way to make all your wishes come true!
The ideal place to sleep over in Victoria West. Exquisite interior and hospitable hosts make you feel right at home. Dinner is tasty as well as breakfast. We will definitely stay here again. The guest house is an asset to the town.
The house is beautifully restored and the hosts can tell many interesting stories about the house and town. The service and food are outstanding and the hosts go out of their way to make sure their guests are happy. Very definitely a place to visit!
Beautiful place, hosts are very friendly and food is fantastic.
We were treated like kings, friendly service, delicious food and clean, beautiful room.
We were in Victoria West of a funeral, so we arrived at an inconvenient time after traveling a while. Despite of this, the manager helped us and booked us in earlier. We were able to make ourselves comfortable and get dressed for the funeral. Thank you to the whole team.
Best venue in Victoria West! The hosts were incredibly helpful and welcoming.
Sven and Schalk (owners) received us very professionally and warmly and immediately made us feel at home in their luxury boutique guest house. Everything in the room was new, clean and stylishly furnished. The newly restored guest house was the perfect overnight option on the N12 and we look forward to the next visit to Moonlight Manon in the beautiful Karo village.
This little place is much prettier from the outside than the photos on the internet show - we were pleasantly surprised! The room was well equipped - I would just have liked a raised surface one could place one's luggage on instead on putting it on the floor. The bed was a bit hard and we recommend considering a memory foam layer on top. Other than that we had a lovely stay and the breakfast was delicious.
Although we only stayed one night, Sven and Schalk were truly very pleasant hosts. I would really recommend the guest house. Everything inside is newly redone, the company was fantastic and the food top notch. If I am around they will see me again.
Schalk and Sven were incredibly friendly and they anticipated just about any questions we might have. They went out of their way to make it a pleasant time for us there.
Excellent food! Beautiful place, friendly management! Only thing that could improve is safer parking. But was the perfect and nicest stopover.
Nice guest house and nice room. Had a nice meal, but our room had no air conditioning and we couldn't sleep at all because of the heat.
It was our first time in Victoria West and if this type of reception is an example of the community, we will definitely be there again on our next visit to the Cape.
I would definitely recommend Moonlight Manor. Sven and Schalk make sure you have a good time. The meals are a must! The guest house is very well furnished and luxurious. We lacked nothing. 5-Star definitely.
Grandma (92) and I were welcomed with hospitality that felt like we had known each other for years. It's an intimate get-together even clinking a glass together. No effort was spared, even with a favor I asked in advance. Congratulations, Sven and Schalk, you have a great recipe for success here beet your place is beautiful. Not to mention the incredible artwork. This is not the last time we come to visit you!
A gem in the middle of nowhere.
The location of Moonlight Manor is excellent, far enough from the main road not to hear the traffic. The rooms are large and well equipped. Sven and Schalk went out of their way to make the stay pleasant. Dinner was excellent, just make sure you book in advance.
