From the moment we arrived, Mariette’s warmth and kindness set the tone for a truly memorable stay. Her hospitality shone not only through the stylish and welcoming accommodation, but also in every thoughtful interaction. We especially appreciated the attention to detail—from the beautifully designed space to the sherry in the room, which added a lovely touch after a long day of travel. Breakfast was deliciously prepared and a perfect start to each morning. A special thank you to Paulina for ensuring our rooms were impeccably prepared and for going above and beyond to help me remove stains from a pair of jeans I’d nearly given up on. Your care and effort did not go unnoticed.

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!
