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.

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.
