Our room had a private area/balcony, with a couch with superb view over the lagoon. The water is literally 10 stairs away, which was fantastic. We could borrow the kayaks, swim or walk during the low tide. Our host was very friendly and informative about Knysna and places to visit and things to do around. The room was fully equipped, but we didn't use it, as we liked all too much the East Head cafe nearby

    Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
