    The kitchen staff was very friendly and made breakfast very pleasant. We arrived on a day that was exceptionally hot, the room was like a sauna on arrival even though we gave an estimated time of arrival, felt the room could have been cooled down a little before arrival. Room was very hot even on the cooler days, unfortunately the room didn't have block out curtains, so very bright very early. No swimming towels were offered, nice sun bathing chairs, but no cushions or umbrella for the very hot day. We booked the room because of the nice big bath, but at check-in were told not to use it as the owner does not want guests to use it. The building needs some work and some furniture is dated and looks unpleasant due to sun damage.

    Beautiful house, tastefully decorated, and converted into a well-managed B&B. Bed was a gift for tired bodies and minds, and breakfast is substantial, hot, fresh and delicious. Excellent management and staff. (Forgot to leave a gratitude tip in our rush but will be back.) Close to golf courses and to Blend Restaurant for the tastiest pizza toppings in Knysna.

    Mistakenly booked this place while having other accommodation. Owner/manager went out of her way to assist. Even though I wont be staying, I highly recommend any place with such excellent customer service.

    It was soo peachful and clean, big open rooms with everything that you need. Coffee station, swimming pool, aircon and a view. You can use the kitchen, dining room and lounge area for a home made dinner or simply go to the Waterfront that is about 4 km away for a variety of restaurants!

  • 5/5 Ian R. 1 year ago on Google
    It is exactly as advertised. We didn't have breakfast as we had to leave very early. However the room was clean and functional. The bed was very comfy and super clean. The check-in was a breeze. If you deliver what you advertise you deserve 5 stars.

    Had a lovely stay here, peaceful and quiet. Well situated close to the shops and restaurants. Tannie Chrissie was so friendly and helpful and an absolute gem to chat to!! The ladies making the breakfast were super and so kind and full of smiles! Made us feel very welcome and comfortable

    Our room was just amazing...the bed was Soooo comfortable. And the quite ...was needed. Breakfast on all 4 mornings was well presented and tasteful. The serving ladies were very friendly and accommodating. Parking was not a problem either. The pool is small but enough to cool off in.

    Chrissie welcomed us, we were early, no problem for her and the staff. We were settled in no time. The place is exactly per the pics, we rate it 10/10 cleanliness, and service. The breakfast was plain yet enough. Vibe in the house was relaxing. Lots of privacy. Plenty spaces to move in whilst in dining area. Christie we will be back

    We only arrived around 21:30, well after check-in time. The Manager Christine was AMAZING and so obliging and showed us to our well-appointed room. She is such an asset to the establishment!

😠 As a local patron, I've frequented this spot often, but December brought unwelcome changes. The surge in prices felt disproportionate, making it ridiculously overpriced. Moreover, the lack of displayed prices on select drinks added to the frustration. While the food remains excellent, the sluggish s...

😐 Arrived to our room with NO RUNNING WATER in the basin. Management's solution to us was a water dispenser (see photos). When questioned, it turned out that 5 units have this problem and they have known about it since OCTOBER! We booked our stay months ago, and we were never alerted to the fact that...
