The room was well appointed and clean. Windows had the necessary insulation to keep out noise. It was well proportioned and decorated and extremely clean. The courtyard is exceptional pretty with the bougainvillea and the other verandahs offer a view of the sea. Breakfast was scrumptious. The staff are friendly and helpful and no ask is too big for them. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

    I stayed at the Silo for the first time in 2022 after having dinner there for a work event. I was there again for work in 2023, and finished the trip with my husband at the Silo to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. I notified the staff that it was our anniversary and they went far and beyond to ensure that we taken care of. The service is amazing. The details are exquisite. And the experience exceeds expectation. We will be back in 2024 😁

What really struck me about the staff is how much they actually care about your experience, always asking “can I help you with x” or “we can do y if that’s better for you” etc without skipping a beat!

    What a wonderful town, we visited 30 years ago and had to go back for our anniversary just to discover how much it expanded! We were priviledged to see whales and loved the Waterfront and surrounding restaurants. Absolutely loved the Hemel en Aarde Valley with surrounding wine farms, loved La Vierge and they made it so special when they heard it was our anniversary, brought us champagne to celebrate.

    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.

    Mossel Bay is an ideal holiday destination for travelers seeking a mix of the following : 1. Historical exploration 2. Stunning beaches 3. High-energy outdoor activities, watersports, mountain biking, golf, hiking 4. Good restaurants, with some live music entertainment 5. Cabin living on farms away from the city We have been visiting Mossel Bay for the last 30 years and continue to be one of our favorite holiday destinations, making it one of the most underrated stops along the Garden Route.
