The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most breathtakingly impressive sights to behold in Africa. Eighteen kilometers in diameter, the crater is a caldera formed at a time of volcanic eruption, and now home to an abundance of wildlife. Whether standing on the lip or driving through the grassy-plains of plentiful game inside, Ngorongoro Crater is magnificent from any angle. The rim of the crater is a lush, dewy mountain forest, met by leafy green coffee plantations sweeping up the slopes.
The Manor is nestled into one of these coffee plantations, very close to the entrance to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, allowing unhindred access to a day spent exploring this natural wonder. With its luxurious cottage suites and magnificent Manor House, your stay here will be a lavish experience fusing impeccable East African safari hospitality with old world opulence.
For those looking to relax, The Manor has a full spa, and an inviting swimming pool. For those looking to be more active, there is a stable of horses and ponies suitable for most levels by which to explore the surrounding coffee plantations and countryside. Guests can also take a tour of the working coffee estate to learn more about the world's most famous morning beverage, or hire a mountain bike to explore the surrounding gardens and coffee estate at leisure. And there is not a better way to end your day here other than enjoying an incomparable dinner in The Manor's restaurant followed by a deeply restful night in a cottage that has been designed with your comfort solely in mind.
Each Manor Cottage Suite has its own private entrance and adjoining private sun terrace. A double open-front log-burning fireplace divides a room interior that mirrors the traditional Cape Dutch architecture. The en-suite bathroom has a Victorian-style claw-footed bath, as well as twin vanity basins and large 'rainfall' shower.
The Stable Cottage has 3 guest bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. An expansive living area incorporates a lounge area, TV room and dining room. Guests can dine privately in the accommodation, and be thoroughly immersed in the enjoyment of those all too rare family holidays.
