We had such a wonderful experience during our honeymoon in here, the room was unique and cozy, the view just amazing and all the staff took care of our pleasant stay. We really like our room with an incredible view on knysna nature. We recommend visiting this place for sure

Great place with super room and fabulous views over the inlet. Johnn the manager was super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food and dining room were special, roaring open fire made for a cozy at home feel. The single criticism would be that the bed was rock hard, I know some people like this but not us. Otherwise is a 10/10

One of the best places we have stayed. Room was everything we expected. Breakfast was scrumptious and service was top notch. We will certainly keep this one on our list. Access to the property is easy and close to amenities.

Tolle Aussicht auf die Bucht von Knysna. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Kurze Anfahrt zur Waterfront. Toll gestaltete Umgebung. Schöner Swimmingpool. Sehr nette Begrüssung. Beschilderung der Anfahrt könnte besser sein.

The room we had was lovely view of the lagoon with a great breakfast. The rooms over look the main road to Knysna below which is busy and audible if you have the doors open. The staff were very helpful with recommendations and reservations for dinner.
