“Quiet, out of town but just perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2013

lovely place to stay for a few nights, nice garden with beautiful pool. We booked a cottage which was fully equipped and very spacious. Owners are very kind and try all they can to make your stay even more pleasant

“Out of town, but great.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

A party of 6 traveling with daughter and her family, we stayed in the pool side bungalow, and they in the main building accommodation was good in both cases, and the proprietors extremely helpful. Pool was a good size for the size of the hotel, and breakfast all you could ask for. highly recommended place to stay

Room Tip: The bungalow is African style stand alone next to the pool, and adds an alternative to the normal ty...

“Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013 via mobile

Stayed 2 nights. It is off the beaten track so you need a car to get anywhere, although we did get a taxi down to the waterfront and back. Lovely views from the patio overlooking the swimming pool. Our room was fine although the bathroom was tiny . We could hear breakfast being prepared as we were very close to the dining room. Breakfast itself was very nice, especially the fruit salad ! The hosts were lovely and keen to make sure you were happy. 1 day we wanted to go to the beach so they gave us an umbrella, body board, and 2 chairs for the beach . That's service !

“Perfect accommodation in Knysna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

We recently stayed at the Knysna Country House, unfortunately just for 1 night - not long enough! Our bedroom was really comfortable, and the outdoor pool/seating area is fab and really spacious. Knysna was one of the most beautiful places we visited on our trip to South Africa and this guesthouse was the icing on the cake. The owners were so friendly and helpful and made us feel incredibly welcome - in addition their breakfasts are fantastic. We would definitely book to stay here again in the future!

“simply ... a joy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

Beautiful setting, convenience in location, comfort that made you yearn for bedtime (we stayed in a double room), delicious breakfasts, friendly and accommodating hosts - our thoughts after a 3 night stay. Simply put - great value for money!
