Picturesque Guest House with one of the best views of Knysna - and just a minute's drive downhill to town. Amazingly clean and well appointment rooms, friendly owners, delicious breakfast. Truly a home away from home. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed for 4 nights here, and being our first trip to Knysna we were not disappointed. The luxury rooms we booked( we booked both with the other couple with us even having space for a camper cot for there 10 month year old) were spacious and lovely. The best thing more so than the fact that the rooms had... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Blue Oyster and experienced a wonderfull stay not at least caused by the hospitality offered by Vanessa and Charmaine. They did all possible to inform us about the ins and outs of Knysna, arranging restaurants (even arranging sole, which was not on the menu of a specific restaurant) all because it was Elly's birthday....

My wife and I spent 1 night in Knysna at the Blue Oyster B&B and thought it was great. We were actually the only guests (there are only 3 rooms) and we had the run of the entire place. Vanessa helped us settle in - she upgraded us to the luxury room since it was empty - and got us... More

Stayed three nights in knysna and thought we would be hard pressed to have found better accommodation than Blue Oyster. Super location with views to really appreciate. Felt really welcomed with lots of good advice on where to go and what to do. Super breakfast and service. Would not hesitate to return.

This is a home away from home, only miles and miles better because every little thing you can think of has been thought of. We are here for 2 nights and they may have trouble levering us out of this place!! We need oxygen it is so highly placed on the hill, and the views are nothing short of spectacular... More

We two stayed one night in Knysna and were very pleased with Blue Oyster. Our room was very comfortable and had an amazing view. Breakfast was very good and Vanessa had good suggestions for restaurants and activities. We would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at the Blue Oyster for one night and enjoyed every minute. The views are fantastic and the room so comfy with a balcony that overlooks the town and the heads. Charmaine and Vanessa, the owner, made our stay a memorable one.

We (two couples) spent 8 nights at the Blue Oyster in february and had a fantastic holiday playing golf on different courses in the area. Blue Oyster have a fantastic lagoon view, magnificent rooms and a most helpful owner and staff. A perfect place to stay in Knysna

Stayed for two nights in February. Came here after a long drive and a nice bottle of sparkling wine waited for us. Awesome view to the lagoon. Really helpful staff. We received really good tips from Vanessa. Delicious breakfest and really nice music played in the breakfest hall!
