Absolutely everything to like about this hotel. The location on Thesen Island the views, the friendly smiling staff and their willingness to assist in any way. Quite location but with everything on hand. Not just a mini bar but a well equipped kitchenette and a nice touch with a fresh lemon on the chopping board. Just perfect. Even the loo had a view!

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.

A friendly place.

A friendly place. Waterfront area and a lagoon boat trip are a must-do. Plenty of places to visit in the area. Dry Dock restaurant highly recommended. Easy to get around the area although parking in central area a bit problematical. A visit to 'The Heads' viewpoints which is nearby. Drive the 7-passes road for scenery and driving experience. Visit the transport museum in nearby George (it's free!). Margaret's viewpoint on Brenton-on-sea road is nearby and not to be missed.

Everything was nearby, but you need to be there to experiences the wonder of Knysna. It is a must to go visit the Love Gifts store. The Portuguese restaurant food was delicious, but you have to try all the food places there as everything is divine.

I haven't visited Knysna in a long time and sadly I have to say that, in the last few years the city has gone to the dogs, it is 3rd world at best. Restaurants, tourist areas and the natural beauty is still awesome, but the city center is dirty, run down and unsafe to walk around in, especially after dark.

Place is ideally situated on the lagoon. Close to shops and the waterfront. House was extremely clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you need including extra cutlery, plates etc. The owner was extremely helpful and able to accommodate us with our arrival and departure times. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Knysna in future.

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!
