    We loved our stay at South Villa very much. The B&B is clean, has spacious rooms with very spacious balconies and an amazing view, and you can enjoy your breakfast there. The whole area is well kept and welcoming, the guesthouse itself is rather small witg only 4 rooms or so, which gives it a very cozy and familiar atmosphere. Most of all I'd like to mention the couple that ran the place, Ronnie and Thelma - born to be hosts! They are going to move to Cape Town and run a guesthouse there, so if you happen to travel there after your stay in Knysna, look for Atlantic Breeze B&B!

    I would highly recommend staying here! The accomodation is beautiful, immaculately kept and is in such an excellent location with beautiful views overlooking the lagoon. Breakfast is great, you select your choices the night before, it’s extremely well organised. As wonderful as the accomodation is, the true highlight of staying here is having the pleasure of meeting the wonderful couple, Thelma and Ronnie. We have never felt so welcome anywhere we have stayed, they made us feel instantly welcome and most days we would often forget we were not at home! They are thoroughly delightful and so genuinely warm. They gave us so many great tips. Truly special people. Thank you Thelma and Ronnie, you are one of a kind! Would highly recommend staying here!

    Thelma, Ronnie, Vuyo and Irene are wonderful, attentive hosts who made us feel at home on our family trip to Knysna. The facilities are kept meticulously clean and there is great attention to detail. I would highly recommend a visit to South Villa!

    South Villa guesthouse is a beautiful clean luxurious place with two great hosts Hentie and Christa I can not thank them enough for going above and beyond for their guests. I was treated like royalty from the very first day of my 2week stay. Rooms are very clean with fresh towels daily and provided bottled water on daily basis. Beautiful garden Their breakfast is amazing and Christa delivered mine to my doorstep everyday. Thank you Christa and Hentie for a great stay especially your kindness and friendliness which i will never forget. Stay blessed.

    This is a superb stay The Rooms are neat and each day you are treated with some treats in the room which make you feel special The homemade chocolate cupcakes with coffee catered by helping yourself with is an another special additional treat in the afternoons getting back from a long day on the beach. Breakfast on the balconies overlooking the lagooon and Heads is just a extra bonus ontop of the most delicious breakfast Presentation and taste is TOPS as Christa makes sure she has her hands preparing it. A Guesthouse with such a lady at the stear will always be credited with a great stay !

    The stay was amazing! Way above expectations. The hosts are super friendly and gave nice recommendations. The breakfast was the best we had so far. Better than in a restaurant. The price quality value is excellent. Really recommend this place.

    Each sector of the hotel has a unique detail, the owners welcome you with a handmade drink and food made by them and the rooms have welcome signs with candies. The room is beautiful, clean, and spacious. The owners are lso kind and helpful.. if you ask they tell you where to eat, where to go and what to do. The breakfast is very tasty, and comes with a beautiful presentation.
