I usually try to avoid guesthouses and prefer the anonymity of hotels. From previous experience I know that the hotels in Knysna are really not that good and decided to give Headlands House Guest a try. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like royalty and shown me to my room which had the most amazing views I have ever seen in Knysna. The views were really something special because I could see the town and the mountains and the Heads and the Lagoon and the ocean. My privacy was really respected and nobody made me feel uncomfortable. The room was very tastefully furnished and had everything I could ever need and even more. Although it is a bit pricey it is worth every cent. If you ever visit Knysna for a short holiday or breakaway I will definitely advise anyone to stay at Headlands. I don't know where they get their mattresses from but it is absolutely heavenly like. After a day of exploring the surroundings it is so nice taking a shower in that very special shower and then get into that absolutely amazing bed. Just spending your whole holiday in your room is even an option!

We booked the seahorse room for two nights and enjoyed a fantastic view from our private balcony. The room was nicely arranged, very clean and included modern bathroom facilities. The Headlands staff was super-friendly and prepared every morning a tasty breakfast. Unfortunately, we have been too busy to spend more time in the pool/ terrace area. We would have loved to spend more days at the Headlands and highly recommend this guesthouse to everyone who seeks a calm/remote accomodation.

This guesthouse has amazing views and such genuine and heartwarming hospitality. Their breakfasts are amazing, I'd definitely recommend the french toast (was delicious). Chrystal is very helpful and welcoming, ask for Mandy if you are looking to hire a bicycle/cruiser, an awesome way to explore Leisure Island.

What a beautiful place. On arrival Debbie kindly upgraded the accommodation. Debbie has been in the business for many years and it shows as all her recommendations were spot on. Debbie was an absolute honey and did everything she could to make our stay pleasant and memorable. Breakfast over looking the Heads was fabulous and Debbie even unexpectedly arranged a birthday carrot cake what a treat. I would definitely recommend this guest house to anyone wanting to spend some time in Knysna

Exquisite...from the manager and staff, they are all kind, welcoming and friendly. Great communication between us and the manager, delicious food, comfortable and spacious rooms. All you need to do is pack your bags and visit them... We loved our stay

👌 just so awesome and love the ocean view from my room 😍

The guest house is clean and is placed on the beautiful adge of the sea The only problem I had with the guest house is the breakfast is not what we expected as guest so I'm not happy at all about the breakfast 👎

We stayed here this week for 4 nights. The hospitality shown to us and all guests was second to none. The guest house was wonderful. The views, the room, breakfast . Plus the location, with such stunning views and fantastic walk down to the nearby cove. Would love to return. Sue. 19/12/19

Incredibly relaxing and stunning place. Great service by all. Making sure our stay was memorable ✨️ WiFi and lights on during loadshedding.

We were a group of 4 from the UK and stayed for 4 nights. We had a fabulous time, beautiful views from our balconies and Debbie and Crystal were wonderful host's. Highly recommend a stay here! Michelle, Iain, Izzy and Phil.

It was an awesome experience..The management and staff were excellent. They are fully equipped in every room for loadshedding as well.

Was such a lovely stay, feels safe and secure. Stunning views. Bathroom is a bit outdated, and room was a bit small but, the veiw makes it so worth it. Thought there would be a small fridge in the room, but had a lovely time and the host is so kind and helpful.

Great small Guesthouse with a spectacular view and an amazing host: Debbie!

Lovely stay with a great host. We loved the view. The only thing to be aware of is the drive into town for dinner options.
