St James of Knysna

This hotel was perfect. Beautiful buildings and a stunning outlook over the lagoon. Our suite was fantastic, very spacious with a nice balcony. The bed was comfortable. Breakfasts were great with a good choice of food. The staff were excellent and tried everything to contact us when my husband left his house keys in the room on our departure. Luckily we weren't too far away to come back and get them. The gardens were lovely. It's a short way from Kynsna but taxis are easily available. We loved the hotel and hope to come back again sometime.

Nothing, we were sad to leave.

The staff here were absolutely amazing, we had an issue due to sickness and they went above and beyond. The house itself is a little out of Knysna, however there is ample parking (you need a car anyway in that area), the rooms are amazing - we had the Lady Anne Suite - worth the extra money, with a large bedroomm, lounge and bathroom. The photos don't it justice and it exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend! There is no evening meal service, but plenty of restuarants around the waterfront (cheap in an Uber or you can drive and plenty of parking), the breakfast that is included is lovely, a cold buffet and a hot a la carte, with great options.
