Hope Villa Bed & Breakfast

Talkative, friendly, interested hosts. Friedl is originally from Austria, therefore also speaks German and starts nearly every sentence with "Pass auf ..." which my son found quite hilarious. The Villa is one of the oldest houses on the Heads which gives it an interesting, historic vibe. The old fittings, especially the ancient, creaky, yellowwood (?) floors are beautiful. We stayed here three nights and used two rooms, both very welcoming, warmly decorated and comfortable.

Probably my mistake but I thought the villa was on the waterfront - that's what I was seeking, hence I booked at the Heads - otherwise I could have and may have booked elsewhere. The villa is the second row of houses from the waterfront, so no direct access or views of the lagoon from the property. Location was ok but not ideal: It is a short drive to Knysna or to restaurants, nothing much of interest in walking distance except perhaps for the Heads Walk.
