Guest house
👍👍 This place is right above the lookout point on the Knysna heads, so you don't get many places with better views. The owner is lovely and the food is honestly delicious. Everything was very clean. If you have issues with stairs, let them know as some of the rooms are down a spiral staircase.

👍👍 Full marks for a very tasty selection of cakes, breads and sandwiches. The coffee was strong and tasty. Staff were polite and helpful. Sour bread sandwiches were very flavoursome and filling. Cinnamon swirl with pecan nuts was divine. Most recommended.

This was a blatant lie. What they actually do is just plain colour prints charged at the price of typical photo prints....

👍👍 I was surprised by this underrated gem. We had a pleasant, shady spot outside where our little dog was welcome. The service was excellent.
