Blown away by our time at Candlewood and the fantastic stuff and facilities! Matthias was an absolute gem who went above and beyond with local suggestions of what to do! Wish we had more time to stay and explore :)

power cuts, but you have to accept that I guess

We had the most wonderful stay at Candlewood Lodge. The gardens are lovely, the view from our room was stunning, the breakfast each morning was to die for and the hospitality was next level - Matthias and team went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

not staying longer

Excellent welcome from Matt, very comfortable room and we enjoyed a dip in the pool after a tour of the gardens. Just a short overnight stop as we had booked an early morning trip in George, Matt was happy to provide us with a sumptuous breakfast at 06:00 -

Everything was great, just you can hear traffic on the N1 when you are on the balcony.

Very nice and spacious house and rooms with great views over Knysna, Thesen island and the lagoon. Our room was big, clean and we had a balcony with great sights. There were some nice extras like fruits and sherry as a welcome. Best breakfast we ever had with 3 course choice and freshly, organic ingredients. Pool with enough sunbeds and parking on the premises. Very friendly staff who did even manage everything perfectly during multiple long loadsheddings. Matthias is a great host, gave some good recommendations and is managing the premise well. Near to golf courses and restaurants (short ride by car)

The television didn’t have stable internet connection.

Very clean and luxurious apartment with everything you need. The host Matthias has been super helpful in advising on what to do in the environment and also made reservations for us. The breakfast was delicious. We will for sure come back and will advice everyone to go here!

We had a great stay at the Candlewood Lodge. It started with a warm welcome, welcome-drink, informations about Knysna, restaurant recommendations and a very interesting tour around the guesthouse with many diffrent and interesting plants. Matthias and his team are amazing and very hospitable. The room is comfortable and we enjoyed the nice view and all the extras like fruit basket, coffeemachine and cookies. The breakfast is just phenomenal, everything is made with love. We can highly recommend this guesthouse and hopefully we can come back another time.

This is a superbly run lodge which, for the price you pay, delivers well above expectations. Matt and his lovely team deliver real attention to detail and the breakfast is the best we had in South Africa and we stayed in some much more expensive vineyards.

We really enjoyed out time at Candlewood Lodge. There were five star amenities from the moment we walked in. The room was really big, beautiful views. Nice touches like fresh flowers and a welcome drink. The hotel property was immaculate, beautiful gardens, and really nice pool. Breakfast was outstanding, amazing touches.
