The guest house rooms are spacious and well appointed. You have a view of the lagoon. Breakfast is provided and you may order a hot breakfast. The attendant was regularly available but not very knowledgeable about what tourists might like to do or see. For instance she recommended an excellent restaurant but did not mention that it was BYO. Knysna is promoted as the place to stay on the Garden route but I don’t know why. The property could do more to inform their guests about the benefits of staying in Knysna. Brochures are provided but communications is lacking.

Great place but WIFI is a problem
Very nice little place with decent choice of breakfast. The room was big and well decorated. It had everything one can forget to carry on a trip too. The only mishap was the internet which is only available in the lobby and rooms around it.,

Fantastisk udsigt
Lækker værelse, roligt kvarter og den helt perfekte udsigt. Vil dog mene man skal have en bil med hvis man har mindre børn med, da vejene er meget stejle og ikke børne venlige. Lækker lille hotel med en lille pool, hvor mindre børn kan stå på trapperne i den ene ende og plaske.

Hotel razoável
Quarto grande, vista bonita, café da manhã satisfatório. Ponto negativo, o banheiro bem pequeno em contraste com o tamanho do quarto. Tenho 1,67 e tinha que ficar na ponta dos pés para não me molhar ao usar a pia que era super alta. A manutenção do banheiro está bem defasada. Porta com lascas de madeira aparente,vaso com aquelas "manchas" que não veem uma boa limpeza a tempos... Staff do hotel (pq de guesthouse não tem nada) parecia apático, falando tudo decorado, foi estranho.
