“Someone stole the view!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2012

We stayed in a double room in the garden annexe - clean, light & airy, comfortable etc. Staff welcoming and helpful, breakfasts very good. Our only disappointment was the view - we selected Yellowwood because of the advertised views over the lagoon. Within the last two months a neighbour has constructed a large steel shed (car sales showroom?)just across the road that completely blocks the view. Clearly nothing Yellowwood can do, what a shame for them, they deserve better.

“Lovely stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 27, 2011

Our family found the Yellowwood Lodge a very hospitable place. We were given a warm welcome on arrival and found the staff very attentive. We stayed in the family unit ( a charming cottage) outside of the main house. The unit had 2 rooms with 2 single beds and a reasonably sized double bed. The pool in the back was small but we made full use of it. The garden was beautiful and our breakfasts overlooking the Knysna Lagoon were more than pleasant.

“peaceful and delightful easter weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2011

We found our stay at the yellowwood lodge to be peaceful, comfortable and within a close proximity to the town's main features. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was generous. What we most enjoyed was having our breakfast on the verandah with its beautiful view as well as our time at the nearby beach. The staff were also very friendly and we felt safe on the premises. Overall a good weekend spent in knysna and will pop in again.

Room Tip: ask for a room outside the main house with balcony

“Room was of a large and comfortable size...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 24, 2011

I had a brief stay in Knysna whilst on business and I found the B&B to be clean and comfortable. The location was perfect as it is very close to town and the price reasonable. I would visit this place again both on business and leisure.

“simple yet adequate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 21, 2011

The room's bed was of a pleasant size and we had a lovely balcony overlooking knysna's lagoon. The bathroom was simple; and although the shower/bath was one unit it was adequate and clean enough for my wife and I. The thing we most enjoyed about our stay was the filling breakfast we received the next morning and the location of the B&B. For all those wondering, the photos I am placing on the web are for the room we stayed in, no. 9 which is situated outside of the main house.
