    Beautifull and quiet place, but still close to the city and all activities. At night you see the most beautifull stars. Staff was really nice.

    It's absolutely amazing. Farmstay style, but it's just so idyllic. The kind of place you want to stay for weeks not days. Clean, spacious, great facilities. Booking.com doesn't do this justice, it far exceeded what we thought we booked. 😂

Company info

We bought Bella Manga in 2017, moving down from Johannesburg. We were looking for a less rushed life and a rural setting for raising our kids. We look forward to welcome guests and families to our piece of heaven.

Property info

A sympathetically renovated historical farm over 150 years old offering tranquil safe rural gardens and farmland just 15 mins drive from the town and the beach in the Uplands area - we are a haven for country and nature lovers. Guests return year after year just to re-charge their batteries from their busy city lives, whether it be self-catering or on a bed and breakfast basis.

Neighborhood info

Uplands is for the nature lover. It is teaming with birdlife and other animals including bush buck duikers, porcupine, otters and wild pigs. The ever elusive leopard also leaves his spoor from time to time.
