    Fantastic views of Knysna Bay from our private balcony. Brilliant breakfast served on our private balcony every day. Room very comfortable and well equipped for a stay of a few days. Parking included. Great value. Amazing hosts who could not do enough for us. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a place in the Knysna area

    The best B&B in which we stayed in South Africa - could not recommend more highly

    Nothing!

    We opted to stay in an apartment so cannot comment on any breakfasts, but this was, without doubt, the best B&B we stayed in in S Africa. Johan and Dirkie we very welcoming and extremely helpful with everything from restaurant reservations to laundry and advice on where to visit and eat out. The apartment was perfect; generously appointed and clean with all the facilities one could need and the fabulous views. Whilst it is a few km from the 'downtown' area, we moved around by Uber when we didn't want to drive ourselves - just beware normal difficulty of getting an Uber at peak times (early evening Friday)

    The view from the balcony was stunning. The hosts are very nice and warm, it was a real pleasure to meet them. We could see their dedication for this guesthouse. The room was very clean and well equipped. The beautiful garden only added to the peaceful atmosphere. We could spend hours on the balcony.

    The place is super comfortable and every detail has been thought about in order to make the stay perfect. The host is also very friendly and helped us with recommendations and information about the region. The view from the balcony is simply out of this world. If you’re coming to Knysna then this is the place to stay!

    Stop three nights... not enough.

    It's perched up high " in paradise" as the views of the lagoon are impeccably and that coupled with the service ( nothing too much ) & mouth watering breakfast. Just means you take your time, and then some more. Your hostesses are so helpful and can suggest things to do or visit.

    The view from the balcony is breathtaking. The bed faces to the view, so you can wake up to an amazing sunrise. The room is clean and tidy, complete privacy. The hosts were kind, cooperative and available for any questions. It was gorgeous to eat breakfast, a very healthy and tasty breakfast, on the balcony, facing the view. I will definitely come back. Staying here is highly recommended.

    The only downside was having to leave this extraordinary place.

    We were granted a complimentary room upgrade, mindful of my need for a work-centric space, balancing both my wife's comfort and my client interactions. Imagine breakfasts where flavors burst with the sunrise, all enjoyed from a vantage point that offers spellbinding views, making minutes melt away. This sanctuary, underscored by the tranquil chorus of birds, mirrors the privacy of an island retreat. Throughout, the unparalleled attention, outstanding service, and warm hospitality of our hosts, Johan and Dirkie, truly stand out
