An average place to stay
For a three star guest house it was ok, however, bathrooms were Very musty smelling. The towels need upgrading along with bedroom decoration. It’s an ok place to stay if you are happy with outdated furniture and furnishings. The breakfast was very nice and very fresh and hot when served. The breakfast room staff were very good. Our party had 2 rooms and the second room was better furnished, however still dated.

Pleasant well-run location for a short stay
The two ladies running the guest house were very kind and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and the property overall was clean and well looked after and very secure. However, the room I was in was a bit spartan and outdated (no table or desk and an ancient wardrobe with hardly any clothes hangers) and the bathroom was in need of some TLC. The internet connection was a bit of a challenge on occasions as well but the problems were addressed when brought to the attention of management. Overall, though, good value for money.

Friendly welcome.
We arrived and we were greeted by the owner of the guest house who showed us around. The breakfast was very good and cooked À La Carte. There was also cereal, fresh fruit and yogurt. The WIFI was not accessible in the room as stated in the expedia description. However the owner said they were in the process of upgrading the signal to reach all of the rooms.

As this was venue 4 of my coastal trip from cape town to durban I must say I had a pleasant stay. Rooms are basic and offer only the necesities. Its comfortable and well priced. Not recomended if you after luxury. Splendid hosts. Breakfast was spot on.

Victorian B&B in the Western Cape!
Knysna Manor House is, as its name suggests, an old Victorian house that has been converted into a bed and breakfast. The owners greeted me warmly and showed me to my room, a huge double on the first floor with a partial view of the Knysna Lagoon. The room was very comfortable and breakfast, served on the verandah, was excellent. It was a 10 minute comfortable walk down to the Lagoon. I stayed only one night here but would have been happy to have stayed longer.

Ottima posizione per accedere alle attività che offre la città. La struttura, in perfetto stile inglese, è pulita e curata, il personale gentile e disponibile. Essendo onverno, ogni ospite aveva a disppsizione una borsa per l'acqua calda ricoperta di lana nei colori della stanza.

Établissement chaleureux avec des hôtes disponibles et serviables. Ambiance calme. Beaucoup d’espaces communs pour se reposer. L’emplacement est juste a l’extérieur des zones d’activités, pour le calme, mais pas trop loin. La terrasse extérieure est très agréable et un bon petit déjeuner est servi.
