My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Headlands House Guest Lodge in Knysna, and it was absolutely perfect. The breathtaking views of the lagoon and ocean from our room were like something out of a dream. The staff (Debbie & the kitchen staff) went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and special, consistently impressing us with their friendliness and willingness to accommodate our needs. The property itself is beautifully maintained, offering a serene atmosphere ideal for a romantic getaway. The breakfasts were delicious and made with such care, setting the perfect tone for each day. The attention to detail and the team's genuine warmth made us feel truly valued. It’s no surprise that people often call this place a "hidden gem." We couldn’t agree more - it was the perfect choice for our honeymoon, and we can't wait to return someday.

The place was exquisite and we loved everything that was offered. Electric blankets for cold nights, extra blankets to use while watching TV, fire wood and lighters, the jacuzzi, and the fact that we were right next to the beach and were offered beach towels 😀. This was heaven and earth combined ❤️ everyone loved and enjoyed their stay and felt at home 😊.

Location on a beautiful, quiet island. The property provided everything we needed - the rooms were decorated beautifully and super clean. Such a lovely warm welcome from Chris. Cher so friendly and helpful with any suggestions of activities and quick to answer any questions we had. And Audrey who was so attentive in the restaurant. The food was sublime - fabulous choice and expertly cooked. Fantastic flavours - I did ask if I could take chef home with me. The cooler weather meant we couldn’t take full advantage of the pool during our stay but we would definitely return here if we had the chance.
