Tulbagh Country Manor (Guest House)
ABOUT THE GUEST HOUSE
Tulbagh Country Guest House is our guesthouse and the jewel in The Cape Dutch Quarters's crown. Established in 1999, the guesthouse can accommodate up to twelve people in five en-suite bedrooms and suites. The guesthouse is situated in a 200-year-old manor house that was built in 1809 and retains all of its original features. The guesthouse manor is a classic 'H-shaped' house, the epitome of grand Cape Dutch living, and has been beautifully restored to its former glory, and is situated on Tulbagh's historic Church Street. The owners of the guesthouse have taken great care to retain the authentic atmosphere of this lovely home with its yellowwood floors, ceilings and grand rooms, as well as the antiques and art that are on display througout the guesthouse and in all the rooms.
