Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The property smelled of cigarette smoke. The room had hairs on the bedroom floors, shower floor, and what appeared to be body hair on the bench at the foot of the bed. We left and found different lodging for the night. We were still charged full price for the night and room after expressing our concerns and complaints to the owner/ manager.

Stunning views

It would’ve been nice to have Wi-Fi I couldn’t watch anything on the tvs and I am incredibly jet lagged- I also couldn’t download the app to screen play due to lack of Wi-Fi the data wasn’t strong enough.

Dirty room, bad service, dubios management

We booked a room with a king-size bed and were given a room with a queen-size bed. The room had a lot of hair on the floor and didn't look very clean. The welcome gift as a gold member was also missing. Various items ran out at breakfast and were no longer available. As the hotel only has two rooms with a king-size bed, the owner (Lesego) promised to refund us the difference in the room price. To date, the amount has not been refunded and we have not received a reply to emails or Whatsapp regarding the outstanding refund. This all points to a very dubious management, which is why we can only advise not to book this hotel.

World class!

The most beautiful accommodation in Knysna by far. Everything about this place is perfect. The service is world class, all the staff are incredibly professional, service minded, friendly and knowledgeable. World class breakfast every morning made by the best! The owner of this establishment can be immensely proud of Lawrence, David and the ladies(I wish I could have taken them all home with me). We will definitely be back!
