    Super private, you can't see anyone, no one sees you. The place is kitted out and quite luxurious and rustic. I loved everything about this place, it's well thought out, hidden, and convenient. We could hear owls at night and fish eagles in the day. The stars out here are breathtaking. It's so quiet and self-contained. The braai area is really quite lovely. Suitable for a couple.

    EXCEPTIONAL STAY. We are still in awe of this wonderful place, it was above perfect in all aspects. The location is literally what dreams are made of: direct views over the canal, reflecting the sunlight at day and the blinking residential lights at night, super central and right next to all restaurants and main docks and the bridge to Tessen - but at the same time extremely quiet and peaceful. We had the most unforgettable time there, will definitely go back!

    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.

    Beautiful peaceful location in the safe neighborhood, quiet, next to the forest with a lot of birds. We stayed in the loft that has everything you need for a comfortable stay and basic cooking. The host Lynn is a lovely and friendly lady and we really enjoyed our stay at her place. We recommend this place to those who love nature and want a quiet place for a holiday. Thank you Lynn :).

    It was an amazing experience. The staff is very helpful and proactive. We had a free upgrade from a King room to Luxury Villa on the lake. There was such a beautiful view from the bedroom; very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was also great, with a big variety of food. The location was also great and easy to access by car.
