Super clean and beautifull rooms with a nice view of the garden. The view from the outdoor swimming pool is amazing but unfortunetely it was too cold to swim outside. They do have an indoor heated swimming pool as well so that is very nice. The african aromatic massage was really relaxing and good. The breakfast was very good as well as lunch and dinner.

We had a wonderful stay at Knysna Hollow Estate. The accommodation is spacious, modern, clean and the bed is very comfortable (A comfy bed is one of my must have’s). The staff were all super friendly and Cheryl, one of the manager’s, was efficient and could not have been more helpful.

Just WOW! We loved it right from the first moment. This hotel gave us a truly great experience of feeling like a proper hotel guest, Sandy and her staff did a great job with welcoming approach and taking care of you! It was our best hotel in South Africa out of 6 we stayed at. Firstly, they truly want to make your stay comfortable and memorable. Secondly, rooms are spacious, beds are comfy and view around is fantastic. Thirdly, breakfast was really good, a couple of a'la carte options and a nice buffet, not so boring as in other hotels. We didn't have time for a boat tour they organize for you but it looked great, as the lake is just in front of you. Thank you everyone for such a nice time in your hotel! We will visit again for sure and stay longer!

The staff were absolutely fantastic. My parents were staying here and when there was a medical emergency the staff, particularly the two receptionists on duty that evening and the security guard, were super helpful and the manager even personally brought them home from the hospital at around 2am. The staff went above and beyond! Room and facilities were nice and modern. Breakfasts were good. Location relative to main Knysna area is perfect. Many things in walking distance.

The hotel has a very nice location close to the Knysna center, with an amazing view of the whole lagoon. It is a quiet place with a nice restaurant and a refreshing swimming pool. I spent relaxing time here, which helped me recover after an unexpected operation in a private hospital nearby. I would like to come back again. Thank you to everyone who cared for me during my recovery.

Crown on the Heads is very aptly named. The location is 5 Star Plus. As we were shown in to the guest house and out on to the pool terrace, we were faced with the most amazing view of The Heads. This breath taking view continued on in our suite, which had wall to wall, floor to ceiling patio windows. Luxurious bedroom, bathroom with a stand alone bath facing the view and a shower and toilet at the back. we also a had an enormous cinema room. Dora is a wonderfully warm host and made us feel at home. Breakfast was excellent

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants.

Where to start ? It´s a beautifull and luxurious guesthouse in a quiet residential area with stunning view of the lagoon. The whole place is kept immaculately. But the real reason you shoud definitely stay here are Roeleen and Steve. You couldn´t feel more at home while on holiday. They take excellent care of their guests, can provide you with a wealth of information on things to do, but are above all just lovely and fun people. For us they are reason enough to come back to Knysna.

We stayed in the 3* property previously known as the Graywood Hotel. The room was very clean and exceeded our expectations. Location of the accomodation was very good and it was walking distance to the Knysna waterfront. As for safety, the street towards the waterfront is safe to walk after it gets dark. Good to also check with the staff on the safety expect. Seafood at the O Pescador Restaurant was amazing.

Place is ideally situated on the lagoon. Close to shops and the waterfront. House was extremely clean, well maintained and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you need including extra cutlery, plates etc. The owner was extremely helpful and able to accommodate us with our arrival and departure times. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Knysna in future.
