Nice and modern hotel. Room was clean and breakfast was great! The location is also very nice as you’re a couple of minutes walking from the Waterfront. Lastly, there’s parking available on location and there’s always a guard, which I think is a great plus

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.

We stayed in the 3* property previously known as the Graywood Hotel. The room was very clean and exceeded our expectations. Location of the accomodation was very good and it was walking distance to the Knysna waterfront. As for safety, the street towards the waterfront is safe to walk after it gets dark. Good to also check with the staff on the safety expect. Seafood at the O Pescador Restaurant was amazing.

The location is excellent, we could walk 5 mins to a selection of cafes, restaurants and tourist shops to look around. It is only a 5 minute drive to Knysna Heads for an awesome view! The apartment itself was equipped for self catering (which we didn’t use!) and the rooms were spacious and clean with comfortable beds. We only stayed one night but wished we had more time!

I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel for the weekend. The location was perfect. I parked my car and walked around for the rest of the weekend. My room was clean, and the attention to detail was very thoughtful. The staff was friendly, and they went out of their way to accommodate the guests that participated in the Knysna Forest Marathon over the weekend.

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.
