This is our newly discovered South African Gardenroute gem, situated a short distance from Knysna! Beautiful, elegant and stylish accommodation that exceeds all expectations! Everthing speaks of quality, exceptional attention to detail and the effort to enhance the guest experience at all times. Quiet location offering an unmatched immersive experience with nature and the Indian Ocean. One of those memorable places that will always be engraved in the mind for an all encompassing and unique moment in time! Compliments to the host for taking such good care of the guests!

No wonder people keep going back!

The location of this bed-and-breakfast was absolutely amazing. From the hotel, we were able to walk along the Bluffs of Brenton down to a beautiful secluded beach. The service was friendly, and the food was delicious. We met people who regularly vacation at this bed-and-breakfast, and we can completely understand why they return.

Great view from the balcony to the ocean. Even it's loud, you won't here the sound of the sea while sleeping. Very clean and quiet, beach is not far away and also the drive to Knynsa doesn't take too long. Hope to be there again any time

We had a great stay here on our trip through the garden route. The property was well maintained, had amazing views, and had a friendly staff. Upon arrival the owner greeted us and gave us the rundown of property and local eats. My only regret was not staying in this location longer. You won’t be disappointed with this property or location. Thanks for the hospitality and I hope to be back soon!

6/10 Good

Nice beachfront property. Clifftop view of the sea. Friendly and highly responsive host. Had a pleasant stay. Unfortunately there was a persistently strong smell of woodsmoke in the downstairs lounge. Also had to close all windows most evenings to stop smoke from nearby braais stinking out the property until about 9pm. Missing a few home comforts such as salt and pepper, laundry and dishwasher pods.

Brenton on the Rocks is, without a doubt, one of the most magnificent guesthouses I have ever experienced. Perched right on the cliffs, the location is breathtaking, but it’s the hospitality and attention to detail that truly set it apart. What We Loved: • The Setting: There is a beautiful, hidden private beach accessible via a path directly from the property. It felt like our own secret paradise. • The Room & Property: Our suite was beautifully appointed and decorated with impeccable taste. The high-end finishes and the "little things" throughout the property constantly delighted us. • The Food & View: The meals were amazing. We spent our breakfasts in the dining area mesmerized by dolphins playing in the waves below—a truly unforgettable start to the day. • Superior Service: The owner, Nico, and his daughter were incredibly attentive and accommodating. They went out of their way to arrange both an early check-in and a late check-out for us, making our stay seamless. • Convenience: Having a secure parking garage with direct, easy access to our room provided great peace of mind and convenience. The level of care and incredible attention to detail here is rare. I cannot recommend this guesthouse highly enough to anyone traveling in the area. I am already counting down the days until my next visit!

Die Unterkunft liegt in Brenton-on-Sea und nicht direkt in Knysna, was uns aber vorher bewusst war. Der Blick aus dem Zimmer auf das Meer ist Wahnsinn!!! Die Unterkunft ist in einem Top Zustand.

The ONLY place to stay in Knysna!

This place is beyond belief! The views of the ocean are magnificent and the place is spotless - so clean! The accomodations are beautifully decorated. If you are looking for a place to relax, this is it! Nico, the owner, is amazing. He goes "over the top" to make sure you have a fabulous time and is extremely helpful in sharing sights to see in the area. We stayed at Brenton on the Rocks for three days and didn't want to leave! We'll definitely be back!
