    Beautiful accommodation, super spacious rooms with lovely bathrooms (and gorgeous amenities), surrounded by indigenous gardens and blue sparkling pools. Loved the linen! Professional and personalised service, always with a smile, great food, and located outside of the bustling town but with quick access to the N2 and all the different attractions. I'll be back for sure!!

    The Knysna Hollow Country Estate was a wonderful surprise! Spacious and very well appointed rooms set around a beautifully manicured garden. Very helpful staff and excellent breakfast. An excellent stay!

    Verry is happy with our stay at the Knysna Hollow on 15/16 September 2023. As others have said, the rooms are spacious with modern neutral décor with all amenities one needs, (including load-shedding-proof wifi). The breakfast buffet was amazing, and the on-site restaurant (Social) was very good. I was super impressed by the friendly and professional staff. A special mention must go to Stanileta Thysse (Reservations Manageress), who helped us with our bookings (all done via email), and she also processed a deposit we paid some time ago with zero fuss…. I unreservedly recommend the Knysna Hollow to anyone.

    Great Accomodation in Knysna. This hotel has been amazing. The room was huge and in its own little building. Everything was very clean and tidy. Breakfast was great too, as well as the service. Overall it is super stylish with great get away, that we can fully recommend. We would definitely come back.

    From arrival has a special feel, great open car park plenty of space, actually parked nearby to our accommodation.. Reception gave a lovely welcome with such easy check inn and a welcome chat with a glass of champagne.. The room was perfect absolutely modern and luxurious overlooking a beautiful worked on garden and 1 of 2 pools . We were number 1 bungalow close to main building and restaurant,, food was very good and the wine selection was excellent.. The bar was often visited by myself in the evening and a good chat was always had with francois about the wine in the different areas,, many thanks for your time.. The staff working the restaurant in morning and evening worked tirelessly to help make our visit a very comfortable and pleasant stay, under some stressful times due to the power issues currently in South Africa.. may i say you nailed it,,and we really appreciate your efforts and commitment throughout. Many thanks to all Mike & Karen Wales Uk

    We celebrated our anniversary with breakfast at the restaurant. The buffet was delicious. Cold, and hot dishes, as well as an array of mouth watering pastries, tea and filter coffee. The service from Lawrence was excellent, and added to our enjoyment The gardens are immaculately kept. Lush with flowers everyhere. it's like being in the countryside, but with Knysna just 10 minutes away. The best of both worlds. Next we'll try the beautiful chalets for a stayover. I encourage you to do the same.

    We visited for lunch and a dip in the beautiful swimming pool with family. It's an absolute gorgeous place to eat at with a stunning view of their beautiful gardens and clear blue pool.

    After a long flight from Europe and a drive from Cape Town, Knysna Hollow Country Estate was an ideal location to recharge. The villas are new and spotless, with huge bathrooms. The restaurant was super for breakfast and dinner. If you like birds the garden is a bit of paradise with pools thrown in. Thanks a lot for giving us a great start to our holiday.

    A sanctuary nestled neatly off the main road in Knysna. Eager staff, quaint ambiance, impeccable rooms, all around an absolute treat for the senses. Don’t skip the breakfast, it’s divine.

    Close to Knysna but away from the hustle and bustle. Beautifully landscaped, ample parking and garden styled rooms offering a very homely feel. Beautiful swimming pool. Buffet breakfast with great selection of hot and cold items. Reasonable rates for accommodation. Frank the gardener, was a delight with our grandson.

    Large rooms and nice layout of the hotel. Like small cottages. Loved playing boules and swimming. Great for kids and families. Pretty good location though on outskirts of knynsa city center but you don’t want to be there anyway. 5 minute drive to most attractions. Could do with some amenities like cotton swabs, shower cap and ear buds. Couldn’t find any. The soap and shower gel was amazing though.

    We just had the most wonderful weekend at Knysna Hollow. We have been many times over the last 10 years or so and have never been disappointed. The new rooms are great. The best thing about Knysna Hollow is the wonderful staff who remember us by name. Feels like family. We will definitely be back.

    Very nice accommodation and good food. Some staff made it feel like asking to change the TV to F1 while no one was watching was too much of an ask. But awesome place

    Top quality establishment. Amazing to see how it has recovered so well after the fires. Definitely the place to bring someone you want to impress. Meeting rooms are lovey as are the gardens.

    The service is exemplary. So friendly and extremely helpful. I used the conference facility as well and was very pleased. The rooms are really nice and the gardens give the place a calming feel. Definitely go there again.

    What super place to spend a day at a sparkling clean pool. The food was really delicious and not badly priced either. The staff couldn't have been more friendly if they tried. The bungalows look very nice too.
