We truly appreciated the seamless check-in process and the warm hospitality from the staff—it set the tone for a wonderful stay. The rooms were exceptionally comfortable, and the beautifully maintained landscaping added a serene touch to the experience. There’s a visible joy in the plants that reflects the care given to every corner of this place. The food was absolutely delicious, and every detail spoke of thoughtful excellence. Thank you for creating such a welcoming and uplifting environment!

Just WOW! We loved it right from the first moment. This hotel gave us a truly great experience of feeling like a proper hotel guest, Sandy and her staff did a great job with welcoming approach and taking care of you! It was our best hotel in South Africa out of 6 we stayed at. Firstly, they truly want to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Secondly, rooms are spacious, beds are comfy and view around is fantastic. Thirdly, breakfast was really good, a couple of a'la carte options and a nice buffet, not so boring as in other hotels. We didn't have time for a boat tour they organize for you but it looked great, as the lake is just in front of you. Thank you everyone for such a nice time in your hotel! We will visit again for sure and stay longer!

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.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants.

The hostess was really communicative and accommodating. All of the requisite appliances and amenities accompanied this unit with a really great view of the lagoon. Very tranquil and certainly a place I would recommend to anyone I meet who is looking to stay in Knysna. Within safe walking distance from the Knysna Waterfront and security all around this property. Again, ups to the hostess, Charlene who was so accommodating and who made our stay extra special!

Waking up to the view of the Knysna Lagoon was amazing. The place is in a central location of all shopping centers and activities to do in and around Knysna. The place also had an inverter in case we had load shedding, which was an unexpected bonus. Laguna rental is secure as well. All in all, the place is very well equipped for holiday goers.
