    This stay was the best value for money. The service was great. The breakfast was excellent. Rooms were cleaned in mornings. Thank you very much for making it a memorable weekend. Also thank you for all the info regarding places to visit.

    The room that we booked ended up being a little disappointing. It was quite a bit smaller then it appeared in the pictures and the room requires some maintenance. The provided coffee in the room was Chicory, and the provided salt and pepper shaker was broken. The kitchenette was hardly stocked with anything, the time screen on the microwave was broken, a ceramic portion of the toilet was broken, the TV remote had dead batteries when we got there, and the bathroom door required a large amount of force to open or close it. That being said, it is in a good location, with an excellent restaurant (Muse) across the road. There is an in-room safe, and the view of the lagoon is absolutely stunning (picture attached). There is a provided breakfast as well that is quite good with another beautiful view of the lagoon. Nevertheless, the lodge's manager is truly the best part of this place. He was friendly and welcoming. He walked us up to the room and offered to help with our luggage. He then informed us of the history of Lagoon Lodge, and ensured that we had everything we needed. We forgot to select the breakfast option during our booking, but knowing this, he was quick to offer us breakfast on the house for our first morning. He then personally took our orders and proceeded to come join us at the table with a map where he showed us several locations that we could go explore. He brought a laptop and showed us pictures, and told us everything that we may encounter on our journey. This manager made this stay quite enjoyable and he pointed us towards some incredible views. He is a very friendly guy and makes Lagoon Lodge a very enjoyable experience.

    My dad and I had the most amazing stay here, the managers are the most helpful I've ever come across even planning out the most amazing days for us by advising us on where to go. Breakfast was delicious, the rooms are clean and with a beautiful view of the lagoon. 100% would recommend!!

    Had an amazing and relaxing stay here. Was far too short. Manager was accommodating to my individual needs. Full dstv package. Breakfast omelette was amazing. Would love to come again. Maybe WiFi can be upgraded in future? Also maybe an aircon. But still very nice

    Had a lovely weekend stay at the lodge which is managed by the friendly and super efficient Appel that nothing is too much trouble for where guests are concerned. It's perfect location of being situated directly in front of the lagoon and a wooden deck with Knysna Heads views for me was just perfect and I would have been happy to spend the entire weekend on that deck. Knysna itself is even a short walk away. I'm looking forward to going back.

    Beautiful view. Friendly staff enjoyed our stay.

  • 5/5 Norman John V. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff here are truly amazing. The location is perfect. You have a view of the Knysna Lagoon form every room. The whole lodge is perched high against the hillside, with a beautiful perspective on this wonderful town. Appels is the best host you could want. He had loads of information about the area and activities in the vicinity. The breakfast here is properly good. Jams, eggs the way you like them, fried mushrooms, lots of bacon, toast and the famous omelettes and the very delicious French toast. This place had a proper soul and hospitality takes on a new meaning here. Highly highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Roche Walker P. 2 years ago on Google
    We had an absolutely wonderful week at Lagoon Lodge. Comfortable and affordable. Friendly staff and scrumptious breakfasts. Ideally situated on the main road, out of the mad town centre rush, yet well within reach of all the amenities. Well done!

    We went when it was very cold, there wasn't a heater or aircon in our room although we had an electric blanket and a very warm duvet with extra blankets, the air in the room was cold. There is no hairdryer so would suggest you pack one if you are staying a few days

    Home away from home, best staff, best ever breakfast, and Mr Appel becomes your friend. A big thank you for my overnight stay every second week traveling from EC to WC up and down... ๐ŸŒนโค๏ธ๐ŸŒน

  • 5/5 Nico Johan V. 2 years ago on Google
    Legoon Lodge is one of my top 5 destinations. It is cost effective with a extraordinary set-up and clean living area's. The staff is exceptional and believe me their breakfast ommelets are the best in the area. To Apple and his team thank you for a awesome time.

  • 5/5 Cornel B. 2 years ago on Google
    This place was great! We were 3 ladies traveling. From our arrival, Appel and his staff was absolutely fantastic. They offered help with anything from our luggage to suggestions on activities. The rooms were spacious - each with its own private bathroom and a killer view of the lagoon. The made-to-order omelettes/breakfast and fresh fruit with yogurt was a very welcome surprise! We will definitely visit again and maybe visit one of their sister properties as well!
