Beautiful stay
The facility is beautiful, in a renovated historic building. Our apartment was spacious and well decorated. We enjoyed sunset overlookimg the bay in tne deck. The staff was very helpful, especially the concierge Dylan. He was so welcoming, friendly interesting and helpful. He suggested some fabulous hikes one in Wildnerness and one in Plettenburg Bay.

Nice in Knysna
Great location. Easy and efficient helpful check in. The room was lovely with fantastic 'public' lounges and a great breakfast. The whole team who are there deserve mention as nothing was too much trouble. They were available whenever you needed help or not. Great attention to detail to make your stay a great experience. They even got our car washed within an hour of arrival as we had been ion some really long dusty gravel roads. A wonderful location overlooking the lagoon. Rooms are well appointed and everyone has time for you. Its the best hotel we have stayed at in Knysna
