Every member of staff was friendly, courteous, and made us feel very welcome. Home from home. The facilities and overall decoration of the guest house was excellent. Matt was a lovely host, spending time with us and providing lots of information of things to do in the area. He even gave us a free upgrade to a wonderful suite, which was very kind of him. The location is within a 5 minute drive or 15/20 minute walk of the waterfront. Visit Freshline Fisheries for a delicious lunch or dinner - you won't regret it. Robberg Nature Reserve in Plettenberg is well worth a visit - 3 different length walks. Knysna Ziplines for a little adventure and fantastic views.

1) The stairs leading up to our room were a bit steep. 2) The hairdryer was in a drawer but attached to a plug behind the drawer so cannot be removed making it very restrictive, the only mirror was on the side of the wardrobe so impossible to dry your hair and look in the mirror, obviously not been designed by a woman!

We had a lovely room with a balcony which overlooked the lagoon and Knysna Head, the view was stunning. The hosts were very attentive and informative and even invited us to a small concert with food and drinks included. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice and the chef managed to cook my scrambled egg to perfection, which is quite an achievement, we have stayed at many establishments over the course of our holiday, mostly five star, but only Candlewood and on other got the eggs right.

Some issues with back-up generators during loadshedding - but this is currently an issue that affects the entire country so can't really blame them for it!

It was our second time at Candlewood Lodge and we really loved it. Matthias is just such a great host who really goes out of his way to make sure that your stay is perfect. The breakfasts at Candlewood are a work of art - many five star resorts could learn from them!

Breathtaking view, delicious breakfast and amazing staff - what else is needed? We were staying at the guesthouse for the second time and we will definitely be back again next time. Definitely recommended!

Our room was spacious and comfortable with the most amazing view from the terrace. The welcome and assistance extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast selection delicious.

Everything was wonderful and we loved the breakfast. Every morning was different. It’s nice that sometimes they organise dinners. Our last morning we left at 5am and the chef the night before prepared us some sandwiches. ☺️

We loved our stay at the Candlewood Lodge. The owner welcomed us warmly and took time to show us around his garden with a huge variety of flowers, herbs, fruits, vegetables etc.. the staff was also very sweet, the breakfast was uniquely amazing and room was spacious and clean - definitely recommend!

This is a real gem of a place made all the more charming by the lovely staff ably led by Matthias who is a natural at making people feel welcome and at home. Having tasted the amazing breakfast we decided to have dinner here one night too - the chef is really talented and it felt much more initmate than eating at a restuarant so we're glad we opted not to go into town. The decor is amazing and a lot of thought has gone into make the place stylish and comfortable, I just wish we could have stayed longer. We were given a room with a view over the lagoon and what a view it is. Absoultely stunning and wonderful to sit on the balcony with a coffee overlooking the Kynsna heads.
