The view was spectacular. The host was very friendly.

The only thing that could be a slight problem for inexperienced drivers was the steep driveway, but to my mind, this addes to the charm of the place.

The view is absolutely spectacular. The cabin was made of logs and had everything you could need supplied and was situated in a garden with mature trees and shrubs, which provides absolute privacy from the other cabins on the property. The hosts were also fantastic as were the other staff. The beds were very comfortable with plenty of extra blankets should it turn cold.

The fan of the electricity in the living room was quit loud and a bit annoying

Not necessarily a negative, but the parking wasn't ideal.

The view was spectacular and the accommodation suited all our needs

The noise from the child in room above us running up and down the room for hrs. The noise from the motor behind the fridge and low water pressure

Thr views were amazing and the setting of the different cabins gave a great in the forest feel

A really great place to stay- the house was lovely inside with clean spacious rooms, bedrooms all with ensuite. The view out from the balcony over the lagoon and out to the Heads was wonderful, as were the gardens and bird life. We would highly recommend.

Location was fantastic!

Everything was really good.

Stunning location set in magical gardens with views across the lagoon. Everything we needed down to small thoughtful details was provided. And the place was sparkling clean and serviced every day (BBQ cleaned out was a nice touch) and at no extra charge. The owners and staff were friendly and always responded promptly to any queries we had.

Nothing negative to add, just a note for future visitors: ensure that your vehicle is able to drive up a very steep driveway, especially after it rained, otherwise wait for the driveway to dry before leaving.

Our accommodation was equipped with an inverter to ensure that load shedding didn't affect our stay. The view from the porch over the lagoon was amazing. The accommodation is private and secluded from the rest of the town, ensuring peace and quiet during our stay.

Nothing can describe how breathtaking view of the lagoon is. The facility has back-up for loadshedding. Also, the host was very generous and always willing to help with anything.

A gorgeous spot in Knysna! The view from the balcony was breathtaking. We enjoyed star gazing during the load-shedding. Also, a perk is that the WiFi and TV still work during load-shedding. The rooms were comfortable, clean and spacious, and we felt very safe during our stay. The hosts were also kind enough to let us check out later than originally planned. Truly, a wonderful spot.

Wonderful lodge set in beautiful gardens with great attention to detail, lacking nothing. Fabulous cooker and fridge freezer. Lovely bedroom and most stunning views to wake up to up to . Of 6 accommodations, by far our favourite.

We stayed in the Sunbird chalet, which was completely private and had a stunning view. The chalet was well equipped, beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. We had an undercover braai area which was great as it rained 3 days straight.

It is a little drive to the center, nothing crazy but you can not do it by foot at least.

The view is stunning and all facilities are available to make it a nice time. We had a really nice bbq one evening and it was beautiful with the lagoon background and the sunset.

The Big Tree House was a beautiful and very comfortable place to stay! There was a lot of attention paid to detail and the small extras such as mozzie repellent, room spray, coffee station etc was very welcoming. We had a very warm welcome on arrival and the host checked in to see that we were comfortable during our stay.

Navigating the steep slope to the secure parking was an adventure in itself.

Enchanting Stay at Big Tree House, Knysna Our two-night stay at the Big Tree House in Knysna was a delightful experience.

Driveway was quite steep, but to be expected in a property on a hill with such a nice view .

The views were great! The place was also very spacious and clean and had all the facilities you might want. The garden and the boardwalk to our lodge felt very exotic and tropical.

Not sure why but I think when the electricity went. There was an annoying noise from the fridge. I think it was when the fridge was connecting to the back up generator. That noise came on a few times and I found it disturbing. It would be great to have USB charging ports for international travellers where possible.

Exceptional location and great service
