Just out of the city centre, yet close to all the major highways, Observatory is a cosmopolitan and vibey enclave, populated by academics, professionals, artists and students. The village centre hosts an eclectic range of shops, restaurants, pubs and music venues.
Koornhoop Manor House is just 2 minutes walk from Observatory
centre. We have 8 en-suite double/twin rooms and two large furnished self catering apartments (3 bedrooms, lounge/dining and kitchen).

We started Koornhoop Manor House as a guest house in 1989, one of the first established
in the country, and a founder member of the
Guest House Association of South Africa.
The owner/managers Vic and Trish Smith have been involved in the tourist industry in Europe and SA for 25 years. Vic is a qualified Tour Guide and we have a 7 seater MPV, so we can offer you our own exclusively arranged tours!
We have many satisfied customers; in fact, around 90% of our custom comes from our regular guests over the last 17 years and referrals from them.
Koornhoop Manor House is personally run by the owners, Vic and Trish, who can assist with planning your stay, airport transfers, car hire, arranging tours, personalized excursions and recommended out of town accommodation if you need it.
Breakfast is served daily by Vic or Trish; a deluxe continental buffet consisting of juices, cereals, yoghurts and fresh fruits, jams, marmalades and savory spreads, pate, cheeses, cold meats, boiled eggs, different hot breads, tea and coffee.
Bon Appetit!
