This lovely room in Kecia and Lionel's guesthouse is in a great location for the beach, for the incredible Robberg Hiking Trail and for good coffee/breakfast at the close by Delia's. The room has everything you need and is very pleasing to the eye. Very personal welcome treats and great list of things to do in the area too. There is also a pool but we didn't have a chance to use it sadly. Felt very safe and secure with car behind electric gate. It was lovely to chat to the hosts and to say hello to their lovely English bulldog, Honey. We'll definitely be back if visiting Plett again!

If you are looking for a place to stay in Knysna, this is it! Vanessa and Trevor were so incredibly accommodating, I felt right at home. The room had everything we needed - recommendations for things to do, a lovely private outdoor seating area, heavenly bed and linens, and the most thoughtful finishing touches! The location was perfect, close to town yet in a quiet area. You can see the golf course from the house and the view was incredible. I wish I could have stayed longer!

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.

Great location away from the busy traffic, but not so far from N2 highway. Great host who went out of her way to allow us to do a late check in way after their cut-off time. Big room for family and facilities well looked after, had a great breakfast also part of the package. Great service overall and quite relaxing environment.

The facility and setup was awesome. Very relaxed and calm environment. The hosts (Madeline and her husband) were fantastic. She made great recommendations for family cafes and restaurants. My kids loved all of them. The guest house is in a quiet and beautiful area. But at the same time it is a very short drive to everything (shopping, restaurants, etc.). Would definitely recommend Avo&Oak if you are staying at George.

Dirk and Christoph are wonderful hosts. Rooms are spacious and the guesthouse is surrounded by a beautiful garden right above a quiet beach. Their home-made breakfast was incredible- definitely the best we had on the garden route!
