The accommodation impresses with a delightful breakfast, exceptional service, comfortable rooms, and a perfect location. However, some guests noted the distance from the city center.

Breathtaking views from the top of the mountain onto the beautiful Knysna lagoon. Francios was extremely kind and friendly as well as the breakfast staff! Thank you for making our honeymoon stay one to remember, 10/10 recommend to newlyweds, families and singles. We would definitely be back in the near future. Thank you!!

Super nice villa! The view of the Knysna lagoon is magnificent! Very well located, close to Knysna but also a very beautiful beach on the other side, we find everything nearby. The rooms are large and we feel really good there. Special mention for the setting, magnificent place to get married! Too bad it's too far for us.

Absolutely stunning. I rate it 11/10. Fantastic views from high vantage point across the water to knsyna head. Lovely spacious bedroom with full amenities. Large oversized bathtub and separate shower. Thankful for room upgrade. The 1st morning, we had a takeaway sandwich as we were rushing off to see the lions. Was initially disappointed that breakfast was so meagre and slow. The next morning we enjoyed their full breakfast with a choice of options, each elegantly arranged plus a continental buffet section. I take back my initial impression. Dinner recommendation at Blu was fantastic. We ate there both nights! I told the manager if I ever return to South Africa, I will definitely stay at your property.

This was our 3rd time staying. This is just good it’s excellent. Accommodation is big and comfy with everything you need. Patio window onto balcony with great views across the lagoon. There is an honesty bar to help yourself and record your own purchases to pay at end of stay. Not far to drive into Knysna or a short drive to Brenton on Beach which has a spectacular beach walk up Buffels Bay. Breakfast in the morning is restaurant quality, good choice and large portions. Omelette was 🏆. Francois greeted and checked us in and was full of helpful tips. Always around and very cheerful. Maggie and her team in the kitchen were great as I mentioned. With staff like this and luxury accommodation this is defiantly the place to stay. Not forgetting the staff members who work in the background as you may the place work as much as anyone. Thanks for the great stay.

The breakfast was exceptional. There is a variety hot and cold food. Their omelets is very good. The rooms are big and the bed very comfortable. You walk from your room onto the lawn and pool. The view is spectacular. The whole setting is lovely. The guesthouse is away from the every day activities and noise. This makes it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Will definitely come back as the 3 days was to short.

I needed a luxury getaway for myself. Wow, what a treat. 5 star experience My room is Exquisite with breathtaking views. The place is very private with s complete sense of being cared for, yet no disturbances. This exquisite venue offers total relaxation without falsely boasting fake opulence, as the people, from owners, perfect management and adorable and attentative staff. Peaceful and tranquil with the finest of detail taken care of. I will definitely return again.
