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.
