Absolutely everything to like about this hotel. The location on Thesen Island the views, the friendly smiling staff and their willingness to assist in any way. Quite location but with everything on hand. Not just a mini bar but a well equipped kitchenette and a nice touch with a fresh lemon on the chopping board. Just perfect. Even the loo had a view!

In a stunningly beautiful location, the hotel is sheer pleasure from the moment of arrival. Large and comfortable rooms with great views, two lovely pools, delicious bar food and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff led by manager Sandy all make for an unforgettable experience. The 90-minute free boat trip on the estuary was the cherry on the cake.

It was an amazing experience. The staff is very helpful and proactive. We had a free upgrade from a King room to Luxury Villa on the lake. There was such a beautiful view from the bedroom; very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was also great, with a big variety of food. The location was also great and easy to access by car.

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.

The location, with a fantastic view of Knysna lagoon looking straight out through the Heads. Private parking and lovely well equipped rooms. The whole place was brought to life by Nathalies paintings with their unique take on the wildlife and the environment. Our hosts, Kate and Nathalie were exceptional. We arrived as guests and left 4 days later as friends. We would return tomorrow if we could.
