St JAMES

A Vibrant Seaside Resort

St James, historically known as ‘millionaire’s mile’, is making

its comeback as one of the trendiest places to stay in Cape

Town. Just over a kilometre in length, this prestigious little

stretch along the coastline of False Bay is where Rovos Rail

has established its two five-star guesthouses – St James

Manor and St James Seaforth.

The main road through to Kalk Bay Harbour is Mediterranean

in style and a trove of novel antique shops, delicatessens,

sidewalk cafés, boutiques and art galleries. A mere five-

minute walk away, fresh fish can be bought from the local

fishermen and the harbour itself has charming restaurants

offering home-style cuisine and fine-dining experiences.

ST JAMES MANOR SUN ROOM

ST JAMES MANOR AND ST JAMES SEAFORTH A Vibrant Seaside Resort

The area still boasts the colourful

Victorian bathing boxes and

grand old houses reflecting the

splendour of the early gold- and

diamond-mining era. In front of the

guesthouses, across the road, you will find the famous tidal

pools and swimming beaches. A favourite pastime is the

early morning swim in the temperate waters of St James.

The area also offers interesting walks along the historic

promenade and up the imposing mountains, which provide

an impressive backdrop to both houses.

Perhaps the biggest attraction is the land-based whale

watching. In season they appear literally metres from the

shoreline and can be seen clearly from both properties.

St JAMES MANOR

A Stately Seaside Guesthouse

Built one hundred years ago, St James Manor overlooks the

trendy and vibrant fishing village of Kalk Bay. It has an aura of

grandeur and old-world charm with a magnificent wood-

panelled staircase and six large suites, each of which bears

the name of historic, local characters of St James and are

decorated to reflect the opulent times of a bygone era. The

Manor has several attractive reception rooms for meetings

and social gatherings, a library, a bar and a breakfast room as

well as an elegant dining room where, on request, dinners can

be hosted. Carved into the mountain is a private and wind-

protected swimming pool and tanning deck with majestic

views across False Bay and the Indian Ocean.

St JAMES SEAFORTH

An Elegant Seaside Retreat

St James Seaforth is also set above the coastal road with

spectacular ocean views. The original house, built in 1877 and

destroyed by a fire in 1939, was rebuilt in 1940 and looks onto

a beautiful stretch of beach well-known to the surfing

community. The property has been refurbished to create a

modern guesthouse with a casual but elegant atmosphere in

keeping with its seaside village location. The three upstairs

en-suite rooms are engaging and stylish as are the spacious

downstairs facilities, which include a breakfast and dining

room, a well-equipped kitchen and a large lounge and study

that flow onto the verandah, pool and gym. St James Seaforth

is perfect to hire as a unit for a family or group of friends.
