This was the best hotel in our garden route tour. Every detail has been looked after. The room had an amazing view, a wooden fire hot tub, fireplace, comfy bed, the people were very attentive and the pool and sauna were a very big plus. Highly recommended!

Our stay was unforgettable! There is absolutely nothing to complain about! The cottages are large, new, stylishly furnished, absolutely clean and comfortable. There is a sports trampoline, a swimming pool and peacocks walking around on the territory:) The territory is very well maintained. Shannon is a very nice owner, she was always in touch and helped with our questions. When we return to Knysna, we will definitely stay here again!

The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.

No generator for electricity in rooms, but load shedding didn't bother us. Terrific breakfast in cute dining room. Plenty of parking in gated lot. Could walk to downtown area.
