the property is really nice and kept in a very good shape. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They provided me with help whenever I wanted, even gave me an electric adaptor when I needed one to charge my phone. The food there is ok, maybe I would rate it 7/10, but anyway that's not an issue because Knysna is FULL of amazing and affordable places, and you will be diriving around. The hotel also has an amazing top hill view over all Knysna, breathtaking. Amazing value for money, would book it again!

A friendly place.

A friendly place. Waterfront area and a lagoon boat trip are a must-do. Plenty of places to visit in the area. Dry Dock restaurant highly recommended. Easy to get around the area although parking in central area a bit problematical. A visit to 'The Heads' viewpoints which is nearby. Drive the 7-passes road for scenery and driving experience. Visit the transport museum in nearby George (it's free!). Margaret's viewpoint on Brenton-on-sea road is nearby and not to be missed.

Everything was nearby, but you need to be there to experiences the wonder of Knysna. It is a must to go visit the Love Gifts store. The Portuguese restaurant food was delicious, but you have to try all the food places there as everything is divine.

I haven't visited Knysna in a long time and sadly I have to say that, in the last few years the city has gone to the dogs, it is 3rd world at best. Restaurants, tourist areas and the natural beauty is still awesome, but the city center is dirty, run down and unsafe to walk around in, especially after dark.

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

Everything! The staff were amazing, greeting us and showing us around, service was also fantastic. We got a nice gift as we were on honeymoon of champagne and chocolate. Zuré gave us some great recommendations for food and activities in the town. The room had the most amazing views of the Knysna heads, the sea front as well as the whole Knysna lagoon which was mind blowing as there’s pretty much 270 degrees of views. Will definitely be coming back to stay here as we both loved it!

This was a splendidly spacious apartment on two floors with glorious views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. The gas hob and oven worked well and were proof against load-shedding. The bed and the lounge seating were very comfortable. The swimming pool was close by and very refreshing. I would recommend this property for an extended stay. The bathroom and the shower room both worked well. The staff were great!

Breathtaking location, with views of Knysna lagoon, the heads and the open sea. The wooden staircase and restaurant is a charm. I think we had the family room or the larger room, which had lots of space, an open bath and a separate bathroom with a very large shower. The room and property was all 1st class as reflected in the slightly higher price.
