Everything was perfect. The boat trip was a plus. We were given an upgrade and stayed in a huge bedroom I front of the lake. The staff and Sandy made all the efforts for us to have the best experience during our short stay.

Everything seems pretty new and is decorated with taste. The rooms have all you need. The breakfast was really amazing! Perfect for a couple of nights in Knysna. They have a restaurant for dinner that is ok. If this could get a bit better, it would deserve to get known because the ambience is lovely.

We loved the view over Knysna from the hotel! Beautiful setting, nice big property with pool area. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful! We just loved them! We moved rooms and our second room was gorgeous - spacious and airy with a large comfy bed and sitting area. The bathroom is bright with a huge tub. The restaurant staff are friendly and the food is very good. I treated myself to a pampering mani/pedi. Regina, the esthetician was wonderful! She really took her time and pampered me with a wonderful massage too! Enrico , the manager was available and helpful. Everything was just great and we thoroughly enjoyed our four nights here!

The apartment was perfect --stylish, spacious, clean, and cozy. It was perfect for our family of 5 (we took a two-bedroom). The kitchen was large and well fitted, the living room was very nice, the balcony was massive with a seating area, and the bedrooms/bathrooms were comfy and clean. We loved that the floor was heated (such a nice touch). We also loved the area it was at, and the grounds were secure and well-manicured (which is expected in a golf resort). Driving in and out of the resort was really nice as it's on a mountain with superb views. The check-in was smooth. We arrived late and hungry, so the lovely front desk staff suggested we order room service from the restaurant. It was delivered quickly and was very delicious. Our apartment was not too far from the main club house for breakfast; as the weather was crisp and cool, it was perfect for a morning walk. The staff at the restaurant were delightful and accommodating...the breakfast buffet was the best we've had whilst in South Africa. Their hot chocolate was a hit with the kids. We weren't able to golf, sadly, as we were on a schedule, but it would be great to bring our clubs next time. The golf course looked fantastic! I used the laundry service, and our items were finished and delivered to our room the next day. They were not ironed, so make sure you specify that option if you need to. The laundry service was reasonably priced (they charge per kilo). What we liked about staying in Knysna is that it was quite central to areas we wanted to visit, like Tsitsikamma Natl Park, and Cango Caves. We enjoyed having dinner some evenings at the Knysna Waterfront (only a 10 min drive). I would definitely stay here again when in Knysna! 3 days was not enough!

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants. Knysna is a must see and visit destination on the Garden Route.

The hostess was really communicative and accommodating. All of the requisite appliances and amenities accompanied this unit with a really great view of the lagoon. Very tranquil and certainly a place I would recommend to anyone I meet who is looking to stay in Knysna. Within safe walking distance from the Knysna Waterfront and security all around this property. Again, ups to the hostess, Charlene who was so accommodating and who made our stay extra special!

The staff were super friendly and helped us with questions. The location was near to the waterfront and perfect for exploring Knysna on foot. Breakfast was in the sister hotel across the road. It was pretty decent although there was no gluten free bread. There was on site parking which was really appreciated.

We stayed in the hotel in winter time, so Johan (the owner) upgraded us to a bigger room, which was very kind. He was very hospitable, easy to communicate and helped us with everything we needed. The room has the best views over Knysna lagoon. Very good price for what you get.
