We stayed at the Protea Hotel, Knysna Quays for two nights in a lagoon facing family room. A great hotel in a great location. Rooms and grounds are well maintained and staff are friendly. A bit of congestion at breakfast with long queues, nevertheless we had a marvellous stay. This is definitely our favourite Protea Hotel.

African Trax our lovely tour guides Lisa and Louise booked this nice Hotel for us on the waterfront at Knysna. Our rooms had two double beds and lovely views over the harbour and lagoon. Reception were faultless and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was great with fresh fruit yoghurt and nuts, cereal or the whole works. Swimming pool more for a quick dip than lounging as quite small but the location of hotel makes up for this. Nice rooms and excellent location make this an hotel to return to. The beds are just made to sink in.

We used the Protest for two nights as a base to tour the garden route. The facility is situated right next to the quay which was very convenient. All restaurants were close by. The hotel staff were courteous. The rooms were OK. The shower was less than brilliant,but functional.
Breakfast was excellent. parking was close, free and quite secure..A free computer is available for the guests. The wifi is free but the arrangements are cumbersome..
Overall - we felt the hotel was a very good choice for people visiting Knysna and wishing to be near the waterfront.

This is the most beautiful Protea Hotel of them all! We were lucky enough to stay at the Protea Hotel Knysna Quays for 2 nights during our recent visit to Knynsa in December.

Our room was absolutely gorgeous, we had a lagoon facing room and enjoyed watching the sun set and rise from our little balcony. It was postcard beautiful.

The room was very specious, clean and so well decorated. The bathroom was also very very clean and comfortable.

The best part about our stay was to just walk out of the hotel and into the waterfront where we could shop and have a wide variety of restaurants to choose from.

The pool area was lovely, and having the bar just on the other side had us relaxing there for a while.

With me being a Travel Agent, I would highly recommend this gorgeous hotel to anyone from corporate travellers, honeymooners and families.

The service was 5 star, from the porters to the reception, all had smiles on their faces.

This stay was the first of the holiday and made it just that extra special.
