The bed and breakfast offers mountain views, a picnic area, a 24-hour front desk, and free WiFi is available throughout the property. We stayed one night at this lovely hotel in Knysna, owned by a super friendly Dutch couple who made us feel very welcome. Our room was beautiful, with a terrace and a wonderful view over Knysna. The hotel offers private parking for guests, which was very convenient. Breakfast was excellent, with a clear focus on healthy options and the possibility to order some dishes à la carte. A great place to stay—warm hospitality, stunning views, and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Located in Plettenberg Bay and only 400 metres from Lookout Beach, Keurbooms Lagoon Villa provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. The property features river and garden views, and is 3.6 km from Goose Valley Golf Club. The guest house features mountain views and a sun terrace. The Lagoon Suite. I rarely give 10 for every aspect of accommodation but in this case it is absolutely deserved. The sheer quality, size, location and outlook are unique. Contemporary decor with hi-tech electrics coupled with the incomparable views from balconies and picture windows make for a stay in an enormous apartment fit for a magazine feature. Two double bedrooms, two bathrooms huge lounge/diner let out to terrace with sun deck and hot tub with high views over Plettenburg Bay lagoon and ocean. A vast communal day room with kitchen from which personal breakfasts are served freshly to order sits at penthouse level which caps this remarkable set of suites. Must be among the very best anywhere. Service from owner and all staff impeccable. Difficult to recommended the Lagoon Suites highly enough.
