    There was nothing not to like. It was perfect .

    Beautiful and very clean property with exceptionally helpful, friendly staff and owners. The attention to detail throughout the suites is impressive. We stayed for four nights and from the moment we arrived until we left we could not have been made to feel more welcome. It was a very personal experience.

    Classy place, beautifully decorated, wonderful views, amazing food and attention to detail is incredible. However the winner here are the staff and hosts at Villa Afrikana. They are exceptional. They are the warmest, most helpful and attentive we have ever experienced. They preempted possible consequences of our late arrival and prompted a booking in a great restaurant for us. They arranged anything we needed and couldn’t have been kinder.

    Absolutely nothing to disappoint.

    The whole experience from arriving through to our departure was memorable. Only one word can describe the holiday ‘PARADISE’. The hosts, and staff were friendly and attentive above all expectations. The whole property, grounds communal space and suites are exceedingly clean, beautiful with amazing decor. The views from our top floor balcony room were superb. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order with plenty of choice. Added complimentary afternoon tea and evening drinks just added to our fabulous holiday experience.

    Didn't like... leaving! Even in the very finest of hotels there are usually things that could be criticised but in this rare case I can say the attention to detail is near perfect. Congratulations to the owners.

    Wow, what an incredible place and special experience the owners have created here. Right from the initial welcome it was clear the staff are extremely well trained and were also very attentive whilst also being thoughtful, courteous, friendly and happy without ever being intrusive. The African theme of the villa complimenting perfectly the modern luxurous accommodation and facilities. The room was a good size with large comfy bed and pristine white linen. The luxury bathroom was large with shower, bath and plentiful brilliant white towels. Stunning views from the bedroom and balcony. Complimentary tea and cakes each afternoon. Complimentary drinks each evening and too many other little touches to mention. The pool area was to the same high standards as were the shared areas and dining area. We only took breakfast which was very high quality and cooked to order. Wish we had tried dinner too! We are widely travelled but really cannot think of anywhere that has ticked so many boxes. If only every accommodation had the same high standards. Highly recommended!

    It was all perfect.

    An absolute gem. The best hotel we ve ever stayed at and we travel a lot! The service was amazing, the staff were friendly but incredibly professional. The food was absolutely perfect. The decor was very tasteful. It was spotless everywhere. The pool and surrounding areas were beautiful. The little touches - like wine, chocolates, afternoon tea, flowers, beach bags and happy hour all made our stay so very special. The owner and his wife were so lovely and full of great information. If I could this hotel more stars I would . I can’t recommend it highly enough.

    Absolutely nothing

    An amazing boutique 5* in Knysna with excellent location & view, beautiful rooms & common areas, exceptionally professional staff. Ros & Bianca have created a great place to relax and get pampered. Decorated with a lot of taste and love for beauty and details, one feels welcome and at home in the minute you step in. Tracy & Beauty can read all your wishes without saying, from welcome drinks, organizing the stay, a drink in the evening at the terrace, being there when you need them and even having the car washed!!! No wish stays open. Thanks again for the hospitality!! We would love to be back

    The only negative is the steep drive on entry to the property. It is a bit of a test of driving skills if your hire car is underpowered as ours was.

    Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Complimentary afternoon tea and cakes were a nice touch. Room was modern, large and comfortable. Breakfast was served on the veranda and had plenty of choice. Easy to get Uber cars to go out to dining spots in the evening. The owners come on site most days and care deeply about the guests and maintain high standards.

    This is an amazing place, from the welcome to the goodbye the staff couldn’t have done enough for us. We had a lovely two night stay in the Owner Suite with stunning views across to Knysna and breakfast on our balcony both mornings. Everything was thought of and all the small touches made an already unforgettable stay even more special. Thanks to everyone we will be back and recommending to friends.
