Wonderful time in Knysna

We have just spent 2 nights at Roseroc. We had a lovely room with balcony over looking gardens and super views of the lagoon. Kevin was a great host and most helpful in restaurant and things to do recommendations. The breakfast was very good. The ‘Roseroc poached eggs were divine’. The was a glass of port and little shortbread biscuit waiting for us on return from our dinner, a lovely end to the evenings. The guest house is walkable to the waterfront but we got Ubers back with no problem. We would return again if back in SA.

It was a very quiet period and we had good service from the management however we had a long period without any water whatsoever and had to ask for bottled water. It’s a very conveniently positioned property within easy reach of all amenities. Breakfast was very good, perhaps a fridge in the room could help

We loved our stay at Roseroc. Everything was perfect and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to family and friends. It was clean and private. We had a beautiful view of the water from our balcony. Breakfast was incredible, probably the best breakfast we have ever had at a B&B or hotel. Kevin was so helpful and kind. Thank you for the perfect stay in Knysna!

Roseroc Knysna.
Firstly, we are not people who whinge over nothing or tiny problems. We had been recommended this place by a family member who had stayed 3 years earlier. We booked a Deluxe Queen room. There was NOTHING deluxe about it. We asked to move but the other rooms were taken. This property is in a state of disrepair and needs money spending on it. The website is VERY misleading. The pool was unusable, dirty and full of leaves, gardens overgrown and unkempt. Sun beds covered in leaves and dirty. Our room was damp, had to ask after 3 days for the towels to be changed and for more toilet roll. The bathroom was awful - blackened grouting in the shower, peeling silicone behind sink, old bathroom fittings. Doors didn’t fit properly and had to be banged shut.The host is charming and very knowledgeable and gives great recommendations. Breakfasts are good. No one at property to meet us when we arrived and we were left in the dark in the property on our first night with only the torches on our phones when the power went off until the owner arrived with a lantern. Overall, our stay here was not pleasant, we wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone which is a pity as it has great potential.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Roseroc Guest House for a few nights during our recent honeymoon to South Africa. The property is absolutely stunning both inside and out and has the most incredible view over the Knysna lagoon. As others have commented, Kevin (the owner) is an amazing host, providing us with excellent tips for things to do and places to eat. Each morning he put on an excellent breakfast that was presented with great panache and each evening, a wonderful turn-down service. Kevin can take you out for a private sunset tour of the lagoon on his boat, we did this and absolutely loved it, it was a highlight of our trip - so we thoroughly recommend you book this with him. Knysa has lots of restaurants a short walk away and there are plenty of taxis available to go back. Our only regret was that we did not stay in Knysna and at the Roseroc for longer. Thank you Kevin, Cornell and the Roseroc team for a wonderful few days.. merci monsieur! Greg & Poppy
