The St. James Manor consists of three side by side luxury properties owned by Rovos Rail which operates 5 star train trips. The "Manor" with its Victorian furniture and Persian carpets and the Seaforth are a bit more 'hotel like' than Homestead which is more light and open. At the Manor you would order a drink at the bar but at Homestead you can just help yourself to the excellent wines and well appointed kitchen. The breakfasts were great. The staff, particularly Good News and Lawrence were amazing, making local recommendations and reservations for you. Lawrence was waiting at the roadside when we arrived to park our rented car, carry our heavy bags, give us a tour, and opened two bottles of wine and set us with bowls of crisps on the deck while he put away our luggage. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Vos, the owner, and you could see that his hands on management, pride, and attention to detail would ensure an amazing stay for every guest.
