Set just 4.4 km from Pezula Golf Club, bWhale guest house offers accommodation in Knysna with access to a garden, barbecue facilities, as well as a 24-hour front desk. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking. The bed and breakfast features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests.

I wish I could give this property an 11/10. We stayed one night, and from the moment we pulled in to the moment we left we were made to feel welcome and cared for bh the attentive mother daughter duo that run the guesthouse. They talked to us like old friends and made us feel right at home. The property (common spaces and room) was clean, secure, and well maintained. Our kids loved the garden/lawn area and the treehouse. Breakfast was a beautiful hand made spread. We only wish we could have stayed longer!!

    From the start, we loved the Simola Hotel! It's a beautiful Hotel, the staff was so friendly and we were greeted with so much professionalism! The suite we stayed in was also amazing, spacious, with beautiful decor! Wish we could've stayed another few nights but we had places to be the next day. This is really a gem of a Hotel. Next time we are definitely bringing the kids along too as the whole resort is very family friendly. Just have to say again, the staff is fantastic!

    The kids club and daily entertainment was fantastic. We had no reason to leave the hotel. Philani, who heads up the entertainment was an absolute legend with the kids and has the entire family addicted to Bingo! Would highly recommend, esp for a family with kids.

    The best stay for families with young kids. The food is fantastic, service amazing, the facilities well appointed. I had the most relaxing massage treatment at Bliss spa with Melissa and the cheery on top was the Kids Club edutainment programme led by Philani and Akhona made this our family holiday destination of choice. We even booked our stay for 2022 when we checked out!
