"We had an amazing stay there. We stayed for two nights. The bed is big and comfortable. The staff all came singing with a cake for my husbands birthday! Nice view on the lake from our room and on the dek is lovely. Downstairs you can get some snacks and refreshments after hours."
Pezula Nature Retreat ★★★★★
"Best bits - hot tub outside room! Stayed warm enough for even an early morning dip! LOVED fires in room - falling asleep to crackling fire, bliss. Joshua was lovely - thank you for the lifts to and from room in the golf buggy! Very close to waterfront for restaurants! Stunning rooms - turndown service with hot water bottles was bliss. Gorgeous indoor heated pool with sauna and steam. Loved the baboon visits ;) Just keep doors closed! Could be better…. Breakfasts were ok…more selection on meat types to cater for all preferences would be nice. Majority (99%) of staff were WONDERFUL but just a couple of minor things not so great."
Brenton on Sea Cottages ★★★★
"Our festive season at Brenton on Sea Cottages was truly a memorable experience. We were welcomed with warmth and care by both the management and the cleaning staff. We felt at home and well looked after throughout our stay. The cottages were spotless, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing environment. The surroundings are nothing short of breathtaking — a perfect blend of natural beauty and tranquillity. Waking up to such views and enjoying the peaceful atmosphere allowed us recharge. Overall, our stay was marked by cleanliness, exceptional service, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to return December 2026. Brenton on Sea Cottages is a gem, and we left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already looking forward to our next visit."

Aestas Bed and Breakfast ★★★
"Not a bad little guesthouse. No airconditioner in the rooms though. So plan your trip for spring or autumn to be more comfortable. Very friendly staff and eager to give advise on good locations to visit."

Brenton Haven Beachfront Resort
"We enjoyed our few nights in Brenton Haven. The service was good. Clean and well kitted out. Main concern is the size of the "bathroom". It is so tiny that you can't close the shower door and the bathroom door simultaneously. Pillows are far too soft . Need an aircon"
Brenton on the Rocks
"Such a great place and amazing hospitality thank you. We arrived in rain but still so good. The host helped us with recommendations and such great service "
Phoenix Lodge and Waterside Accommodation
"Our stay at The Phoenix Hotel was very pleasurable. Craig and Gill looked after us very very well. All the staff there were very pleasant and really helpful which helped to make our stay a very pleasant experience, The hotel itself was spotlessly clean, Breakfast was very good. All in all it was a very pleasurable weekend and we would not hesitate to go back. if there was a mark for the Hotel we would give it a 10 out of ten, Robert and Sylvia Mayhew"
South Villa Guesthouse&Garden
"Thank you for making us feel at home! You feel a sense of peace and quietness even though you are there for business. The view from your balcony is amazing. Keep up the excellent service. "

St. James of Knysna
"Superb . The staff is friendly and efficient. The location is very convenient. The view of the Lagoon is the best and a free Boat ride. The Breakfast was good."
Head over Hills
"We had the most amazing experience at Head over Hills! Breathtaking scenery welcomes you as you walk through the door, and it only gets better from there. The food was exquisite and the wine list is second to none. The beds are the most comfortable you will ever sleep on. Head over Hills is the only establishment in Africa that has the world renowned Hästens beds. Unwind and spoil yourself with a massage on the premises. This is as good as it gets, can't wait to be back."
Cliffbreak-Luxury Villa on Pezula Golf Estate with Ocean Views,Knysna
Elephant Hide of Knysna Guest Lodge
"Three amazing nights at the Elephant Hide. Excellent accommodation and service of the highest level. Ryan and Natalie were wonderful hosts and always on hand with information on the local area and things to do. Fabulous food available, the breakfast will keep you going most of the day. Highly recommended."
Simola Hotel, Country Club & Spa
"There were a few things not working in the room. Microwave, gas fireplace and towel warmer. Even though someone was sent to fix the fireplace and microwave, these are things that should've been checked prior to our arrival. The towel warmer is a non essential therefore we were not too bothered by it not working. The service provided by the staff is what made our stay excellent. Always friendly, always prepared to find solutions."
Orange Inn Knysna
"This was our second stay at the Orange Inn. We returned because our first stay was so good, Maria and her ladies provide great service [5-star breakfasts], the rooms are spotless, great value for money, close to where we wanted to go [a Spar less than 1km away], 2km to the highly recommended Bosun's Grill [best steak and calamari ever]. Thanks to all!"
The Mount Knysna
"The hotel breakfast was very good. The view was awe inspiring. The room had great coffee available. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Brown eyed manager was really patient with my grandmother and really professional. Loadshedding was a bit of a problem because in the middle of the night the generator switched of and Gran couldn't make it to the bathroom in the dark. The bathroom ventilation was a bit of a problem and the room air conditioner didn't work. For the price I would say it was reasonable but improvements can be made in terms of small helper lights on the stairs. The swimming pool is heated and looks out onto the stars which was awe inspiring to see. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel."
