Pierre was welcoming and warm and ready to make our stay worthwhile. We arrived late and he was accommodating to the late check in. The room Was ready woth water and coffee. He placed an order at a nearby restaurant for us to have dinner as they do not serve dinner at his place. The sheets were crispy. The room and bathroom very comfortable to accommodate 2 adutls and 2 children. The breakfast is fresh and filling with yogurt fruits bread waffles and croissants. The staff is kind and warm. We needed lundry done and Margaret did it for us while we took the bikes to go around the island. What a magical place!!! We wished we had planned pur stay to be there longer. Such a beautiful place.

Perfect location, we were amazed by the beautiful views from the window. We were happy that we had the opportunity to enjoy delicious dinner on-site and savor wine on the terrace with a wonderful view. The breakfast was tasty and very plentiful. We are grateful that we could enjoy a better room than the one we had booked. Everything was perfect, better than planned.

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
