Wonderful place. Extremely friendly service. Stunning location a few minutes out of the city, but right on the main road and easy to find. The house was beautiful. No air-con, but there is a fan in the room.

2/10 Poor

Very disappointing

We are amazed that other reviews give this place 10 out of 10. It is overpriced and the rooms are a joke. Never book the loft room. It is in the apex of the roof and beams slope down either side. On one side you will bang your head getting out of bed. On the other side is a bath with hand held shower. This is in the bedroom, but you cannot stand in the bath because of another sloping beam. Gerhard does his best and is very helpful. He found us another room but it was small and poorly furnished with the cheapest furniture available. The view across the lagoon is good. That is all there is to be said using the word good.

8/10 Very good

The real selling point of this place is its stunning location right in the middle of the beautiful lagoon! Incredible view from your room and breakfast area! The lodge itself is cozy, if not in need of some slight renovations (the bathrooms could use an upgrade). Though I wouldnt consider it a 4* I think the price we paid was more than fair...it offers all you need for a quick stop along the Garden Route

Traumhafter Blick!

Es ist eine sehr saubere einfache Unterkunft, die als einziges auf einer Landzunge liegt. Der Blick ist traumhaft und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Für 1 Nacht jederzeit zu empfehlen, jedoch für einen längeren Aufenthalt muss man berücksichtigen das es mehr einer offenen Berghütte ähnelt,indem man jedes Geräusch hört.

The Pearl of Knysna.

A fabulous place to stay with amazing views from every window. This place makes a great base from which to explore Knysna and wider Garden Route area. The beds were super comfy and the epic breakfast had something for everyone and set you up for the day. Gerhard, the manager, has a huge amount of knowledge of the area and your stay would be poorer if you didn’t take the time to talk to him. Many thanks for your hospitality.

Perfect location

Highly recommended. Perfect for accessing all that Knysna has to offer and yet sat in tranquil surroundings. Ideal place to take a rest travelling from Cape Town to Addo Elephant National Park.... so much so, we stayed again on the return journey! Wonderful staff!

Ruhig, gemütlich, sehr freundlich

Wir waren hier für einen kurzen Zwischenstop. Durch die Lage circa 2km außerhalb von Knysna war es wunderbar ruhig. Das Frühstück war deutlich über den Erwartungen, mit Ei wie man es möchte? Kuchen, Obstsalat, gegrillten Tomaten (sehr lecker), frischer Kaffee (Nescaf' no est caf') usw. Zudem war der Chef wirklich sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, gab uns einige Tips zu Restaurants und Unternehmungen auf unserer Route die sich auch wirklich als Top-Empfehlung herausstellten. Die Lodge ist zwar etwas älter, aber hat den Charme eines größeren Forsthauses... wir mochten das.

Excellent views - good location

Our room had excellent views. The owner gave us great recommendations for restaurants and in particular the best times to visit the local attractions (Birds of Eden, Monkey Land). The house and our room is similar to a ski chalet. Breakfast was excellent. Be sure to have your map at hand as there are two places with the same street name and number, fortunately close to each other. Safe location. Would recommend booking the larger room as our double room was quite small.

lagoon side experience

This hotel is situated an the side of the tidal Knysna lagoon. Its wooden chalet construction and excellent facilities make it unique. It is in easy drive/walk access to a range of excellent restaurants and the superb town waterfront with its wide range of activities, all promoted and explained by the extremely helpful manager.

A lovely wooden cottage-like bed-and-breakfast

Very warm and friendly welcome by the staff. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is basic but sufficient. The location in the middle of a swamp-like promontory allows a stunning view from the balcony.

Gute Unterkunft an guter Lage

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr gut, nahe beim Zentrum und doch hat man das Gefühl mitten in der Natur zu sein. Das Zimmer war OK. Leider hatten wir keine Stühle zum Sitzen auf dem Balkon, dafür diente der Balkon als Zugang zu anderen Zimmern (andere Gäste mussten vor unserem Zimmer durchlaufen, um zu ihrem Zimmer zu kommen). Das Badezimmer war OK, hat aber seine besten Zeiten hinter sich...

Don't give them your credit card!

Clean nice B&B at the corner of Knysna, not close to city centre. Surrounded by a lake, quiet... if there's no fellow travellers staying in the lodge. You'll listen to the soft cracking sound of the stairs when the loft residence walk up, and the couple next door mumble... What upset me most is that I booked through Hotels.com. But at the hotel reception I was told to pay again. And back home, I found Hotels.com charged, and this lodge charged TWICE on my card. (Yes, I paid 3 times for one booking. ) I'm still wondering what to do...
Verified

6/10 Good

Pleasant but we wouldn't stay again.

Pleasant enough buts wouldn't advise to go as a couple, but weird sitting round the same table with lots of strangers making small-talk in the morning - would be ace if you were travelling alone or in a group with friends. The setting isn't great and is quite a way from everything, we didn't expect it to be quite so isolated. The loft room is OK, spacious and cleaner, etc but it's not the best, the rooms downstairs are much nicer. The toilet in the room smells really strange. The breakfast was good and the lady who runs it is lovely and has lots of info, so not all bad.
