    This a great location. Walking distance from The Waterfront and shops, just off the N2. The rooms were very comfy and breakfast was left in the fridge for us. We didn't get to speak to the owners but we're allowed to check in early and leave bags...

Company information

We moved to Knysna to follow our dream of running a guesthouse "Fijnbos" and enjoy meeting new people and enjoying what life has to offer.

Property information

Come and enjoy our Off-Grid Guesthouse with Inverter, situated in upper town Knysna, on a hill, in South Africa, which gives you a spectacular view of the Heads, Knysna lagoon, Thesen Island and Knysna town. We are very close to central Knysna which makes it ideal for tourists wanting to explore everything Knysna has to offer within walking distance. Being on top of a hill, makes for some good exercise walking to the Waterfront and back. The Waterfront and other shops and entertainment are about 1.5 km walking distance from our Guesthouse.

Neighbourhood information

Very nice area and we are close to central town which makes it ideal for tourists.
