Knysna hotellia

Plussat: Helpfulness of Natalie and Kate. Great area location.

Plussat: Difficult to select one thing but if pushed it would be the hospitality extended by Kate and Natalie. Outstanding!

Miinukset: There is nothing to dislike here

Plussat: Everything was amazing and exceeded my expectations. The welcome was wonderfully warm. We were greeted by the two ladies that run the B&B and they were amazing, offered us daily advice on activities with multiple options, super restaurant options and overall great hosts. We had great, tasty breakfasts, beautiful large rooms and views with coffee and treats, super clean and a large bathroom. Overall a fantastic holiday and accommodation and I will be coming back in the future.

Plussat: We had such a lovely stay at the Double Dutch B&B, the owners and staff were just fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us. The location was great too, just 15 minutes walk (or short drive) to the town or waterfront.

Miinukset: I can’t think of anything really

Plussat: Fantastic view, great location. The owners were very kind and helpful. We truly ejoyed our stay. Actually, we liked it so much that we extended our stay with one day.

Miinukset: The internet connection was fine but could be a bit faster.

Plussat: both were amazing

Plussat: We stayed in Knysna for 5 nights before Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed our trip, in large part to being based at this wonderful guesthouse (which was situated perfected in between nearby towns for numerous activities), and also because of the fantastic advice we received from both Kate and Nat. They provided invaluable advice on activities to do, food to eat etc, and even made phone calls for us to book activities and make restaurant reservations! They went out of their way to make us feel welcome and at home. Breakfast was delicious everyday, and the location is convenient, close to the waterfront but located in a quiet residential area so it feels very safe.

Miinukset: Loved everything!

Plussat: Lovely location - check in was a breeze. Owner's are wonderful, very accommodating and genuinely concerned over your wellbeing and happiness during your stay. Highly recommend.

Plussat: This place was an absolute oasis of what is best in service & facilities & we will be returning.

Miinukset: Just about everything.

Plussat: This Guest Suites are just fantastic. The Team made our stay very pleasant and the room, the view - everything is just great and really worth staying here.

Plussat: Everything!

Plussat: the stay was perfect. the host was extremely friendly. enough space in the entire place. I would recommend upgrade of dstv package.

Miinukset: the only thing that was annoying was that we had to keep the doors and windows closed at all times as you would leave it open for 1 minute and you would have a bunch of flies(miggies) in the place.

Plussat: The staff was very kind and accommodating for our little 2-year toddler.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Everything since the very beginning. The Management of the accommodation especially Charlotte, tries to make you feel like home and gives you a lot of options to explore Knysna and the surroundings. Very clean, spacious and with a lot of amenities and varieties of accessories to make your stay even better. Located in a quiet neighborhood and less than 10 min by car from the Waterfront drive.

Miinukset: Nothing, I would definitely come back if I have the chance.

Miinukset: Damp in rooms, noisy kitchen staff at 6am, leaking air-conditioning

Plussat: The comfort the cleanliness is excellent

Miinukset: The environment is relaxing. The comfort is excellent.

Plussat: Charlotte and Maria are very hospitable. The rooms are lovely, modern and spacious. You have everything you need in your room even down to an extra two point plug. We were able to make use of their braai facilities which after a week of travelling gave it a homey touch. Had a decent breakfast spread and good coffee to get your day going. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Miinukset: Breakfast was only served until 9:30am and as leisure guests we found that to be a bit too early but we made it work.

Plussat: Everything was perfect, the welcome, the suite with a full size bath and shower - all in perfect condition, the location, the breakfasts and, above all, the charming staff. It was a pleasure staying there.

Miinukset: An anti-slip mat in the bath is necessary to aid one to get out.

Plussat: Ambience, Clean

Plussat: Great breakfast and wonderful view. Nice seating area to just chill

Miinukset: Not a real fan of open bathrooms, a door would have been nice

Plussat: Clean and efficient. Offered a good recommendation for evening meal.

Miinukset: Bedroom area and bathroom area (atleast in our room) all one space so limited privacy At breakfast only eggs are offered- needed to ask directly for bacon etc . Not sure why this could not have been offered in the first instance.

Plussat: Absolutely loved everything about Cambalala. From the warm welcome and helpful, personal nature of the host Nicole to the super stylish interior of the guest house, not to mention the stunning views. Nothing was too much trouble. We were on honeymoon and had the penthouse which was incredible, worth every penny. Will definitely be returning, thank you so much Nicole, Sam & Andy xx

Miinukset: Nothing not to like!

Plussat: We just had a wonderful time at Nicole’s guesthouse who is truly the soul of it! We especially enjoyed the amazing garden and view down from the hill as well as all the tips we got! We can just recommend staying here wishing the super nice owner Nicole all the best.

Miinukset: The bathroom/toilet had no door to the main room which is a bit uncomfortable especially when one is using the toilet. Other than that it was fabulous!

Plussat: The attention to detail throughout the whole guesthouse was incredible !!! Would definitely be returning and would recommend to anyone . The owners and the staff were very amenable and super friendly

Miinukset: The fact that we only had two nights there

Plussat: The breakfast was delicious and plentiful (great coffee!) and our hostess was very attentive. Luxurious home and furnishings, wonderful outside seating areas and infinity pool and secure parking behind an electric gate. Little bottle of champagne and box of chocolates to celebrate our honeymoon was a wonderful gesture.

Miinukset: Only that it was a bit warm in the room at night and the shower door didn't close completely but just meant a little water on the floor.

Plussat: excellent breeakfast, good atmosphare, outstanding view, good architecture, warm feeling,

Miinukset: less responsibilty by staff, if something occure.

Plussat: The accommodation was excellent. The room beautiful, the bed comfortable, food good and views unprecedented. Megan and Debbie were lovely and made our stay even more than perfect!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The house has a stunning view to the ocean. The hosts were lovely. We really enjoyed the chat with them next morning.

Miinukset: We had the birdsview room facing the garden and the lagoon. The bedroom was small but absolutely nice. The room has an en-suite bathroom. We suggest to give the bathroom some updates. Even though. It is still okay. Later we realized the we did not find a picture of this bathroom on booking. We recommend to add pictures to provide full transparency! Unfortunately we did not take any.

Plussat: Awesome!! Just had a perfect stay - very nice room (Elephant) with an amazing view on top of the heads. Very nice and helpful hosts, who gave us a lot of information about the surroundings, restaurants,... We will definitely come back and then, stay longer :)

Miinukset: Only 2 nights

Plussat: Nice enough room with a partial ocean view and a lovely breakfast area that overlooks the heads. Staff were friendly.

Miinukset: Expensive for what you get - a pretty standard BnB with limited flexibility eg rooms can only be made up until 11AM. You pay for the view!

Plussat: The property was clean, comfortable and inviting. Our room had beautiful views of the Knysna Heads.

Miinukset: Everything was superb.

Plussat: great location to have a relaxed stay. service was perfect incl. an booking for dinner with pick-up and return by minibus. a great place to chill out and enjoy the view on the sea :)

Plussat: Excellent location. Good wifi. The reception was excellent and all as per website. Breakfast was great especially the omelette and coffee.

Plussat: Fantastic views, nicely decorated room, well working wify network, good and friendly service.

Plussat: We loved the location as it gave us beautiful views of the beach and the lagoon. Our room is spacious, clean and the bed comfortable. Our host gave very good recommendations so we had plenty of things to do even if it was windy and rainy during our short stay. Because the guest house is so close to everything, we can drive to almost anywhere quickly and still make it back in time for an afternoon snooze, before heading out again. We could have stayed so much longer and hopefully we’ll return!

Miinukset: None

Plussat: I would go there again when I need time off to do my things in peace

Plussat: I love the neighbourhood for walks and cycles that are provided.

Plussat: Breakfast very good. Friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: A knock out location above the Knysna Heads and top quality accommodation. Lots of helpful recommendations and a driver to take us to restaurants. World class golf on the doorstep in Pezula and Simola and an honesty bar to come back to for a reviver. Breakfasts a joy with superb house specials. Magnificent.

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing.

Plussat: Fantastic service and amazing views

Plussat: The staff here are very helpful and extremely friendly, they interact with the guests and make sure everyone is enjoying themselves. Daniel on front desk helped us book into restaurants as knysna gets very busy on the weekends. We met the owners who were very attentive and always make sure there is a good vibe in the hotel! The location is amazing with quality views, even managed to see dolphins from the jacuzzi! The beds are so comfy that I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow! Great property, great staff and great views!

Miinukset: The bedroom looked much brighter online, however it was dark. Still an impressive room though! The water from the tap was very cloudy, obviously it’s not drinking water but washing hands etc in there wasn’t ideal.

Plussat: The decor in all rooms and the sea view in the one bedroom...

Plussat: Perfect location overlooking the sea

Miinukset: Too many artefacts in property

Plussat: The views from the balcony were amazing. Beautiful location in the hills... the location and views truly make this special. Breakfast was delicious, poached eggs were spot on!!

Plussat: The wonderful bed,the people,the amazing views,the private heated pool,the breakfast,the walk to the restaurant with the beautiful sky filled with stars,the welcome feeling,the attention for details like the music on your terrace,the PC and the milk mousse maker in your room,the nice teapot at breakfast,etc

Miinukset: To leavere

Plussat: We had a great time, everything was very comfortable and we enjoyed the great view of the Knysna Heads. The massage was very relaxing and professional. The two charming hosts had great recommendations and made us a very good breakfast. We would definitely come again!

Plussat: The hospitality was only eclipsed by the stunning view. The moment we walked in we felt welcomed. My wife and I will rave about this stay for years to come.

Miinukset: Na

Plussat: Great value for money my kids absolutely loved it. Awesome for families

Plussat: Fabulous attention to detail. Friendly and professional staff. Great breakfast.

Plussat: Very Nice

Miinukset: No bar service at the garden and summing area.

Plussat: Great new hotel. Nice interior, probably the best and largest bed I ever slept in. I loved the privacy of the suite-structure of the place. Very well kept flowers and garden. Reception staff and housekeeping was great.

Miinukset: A lot of the staff (reception and housekeeping excluded) didnt seem very attentive in general. For example we always had to wait long for coffee at breakfast even though there werent many guests. Or one afternoon there were super noisy, shouting and smoking teenagers occupying the pool for hours. No staff in sight who took care of that.

Plussat: Rooms were beautifully decorated and exceptionally clean. Luxury L’ occitane products and heated towel racks add to the charm. Staff very very helpful and friendly!

Plussat: Staff and delicious food

Miinukset: Wifi signal is weak in rooms

Plussat: Absolutely loved staying there! Didn’t want to leave...will definitely be back.

Miinukset: Beauitul modern clean premises. Nice and Quiet and the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: Great location with fantastic views of the lagoon. Larger bedroom with great views. Excellent breakfast and service from Maria & Martin

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Exceptional service from Maria & Martin. Great Breakfasts Beautiful ,spotless & inviting home in a lovely location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Marina is the best host Ive ever met. Her place is amazing , beautiful view, safe parking, very clean and has everything you need. I would definitely be back!

Plussat: Excellent location and it was very personal - the staff knew your name and gave lots of details of things to do in the area as well as relevant tour operators.

Miinukset: We were charged a cleaning fee at the end of the stay. It wasn’t much but quite irritating to be charged an additional fee of ZAR 100. The shower did not have a door and the room amenities were very basic.

Plussat: They were very helpful from the moment I arrived to the moment I left!

Plussat: Excellent location with beautiful views across the lagoon. Well appointed, spacious rooms and friendly, helpful staff. Good parking on site.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything but especially the location and beautiful views

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The employees always smiling and willing to support and assist you for your activities

Miinukset: The small of the room especially the living room. Other than this, everything else was great and prefect

Plussat: We love this place, it is our fifth year here. Beautiful setting, comfortable apartments, serviced daily, great breakfast and golf on the doorstep. The staff are tremendous, they are all friendly, polite, caring, efficient and nothing is too much trouble.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike.

Plussat: Location is fabulous. Views terrific. Friendly staff. Good sized units for a family of 4. We dont golf at all but the course looks beautiful. River club area is also a bit tired but still fun for kids. Breakfasts are OK...3 years back they had oysters for each buffet breakfast...none this time around!

Miinukset: We had major airconditioning issues in the smaller bedroom which were only resolved on day 5 of a 7 day stay despite us alerting maintenance to the issue on day one. Promises of a fix the following day became a bit stale by day 4 when things got worse rather than better. We were offered the use of a nearby suite on day 5 which we accepted. In addition, there was an issue with the door not locking requiring reprogramming as well as the shower door threshold which had to be glued down. We stayed there 3 years ago and I hink it is now a bit tired..it could arguably do with a bit of a facelift.

Plussat: Neatness

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location. meals space of apartments

Miinukset: I have stayed at Simola many times. This time I got the feeling that the apartments are lacking maintenance and thorough cleaning. Bed was not that comfortable, bathroom tiles and shower not cleaned properly . face cloths always seem to disappear in the wash and not returned. We even had a cockroach in the apartment

Plussat: Kevin is an excellent host. We felt really welcome and would have very much liked to stay longer.

Plussat: Just about everything.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful and comfortable rooms, great breakfast and very helpful host

Miinukset: A bit of noise from the street

Plussat: Couldn’t recommend Roseroc highly enough! We had such an amazing stay. Kevin the owner is so friendly and hospitable. He made our stay so enjoyable with his thoughtful, personal touches – like the night caps we came home to every evening and the on point recommendations he gave us for dining and fun activities in the area. The guest house itself is beautiful and very well located – the rooms are incredibly spacious, tastefully decorated and kept clean to the highest standard. The breakfasts are some of the best I’ve ever had – unbelievably delicious and tailored to your personal taste. I also feel in love with Kevin’s dog Mr Tibbles – he is so cute and friendly and brought a smile to my face every time I played with him. Kevin truly went above and beyond to help us in every way possible – he even couriered my watch that I accidentally left behind all the way from Kynsa to my home in London. Genuine kindness and I will be eternally grateful! I can guarantee you definitely won’t regret staying at Roseroc

Plussat: Kevin and his wife is the kind of host that definitely will make you feel at home. They will do anything within their reach to help you out, even removing the carpet if you ask so. They will also give you the best recommendation of where to go, what to do and where to eat. On top of that, his boat trip service is the best in town, my wife and I have had just an unforgettable experience. Not to mention that he had my car surprisingly washed before we left. Room is very comfortable with a stunning view. Location is very nice and quiet. Breakfast is delicious, with a homemade touch. Knysna is a lovely town that will make you relax and enjoy life.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Kevin and his staff made us very welcome. Nice 1.5km stroll to the waterfront. Views from bedroom over the estuary was fantastic. Couldn't fault knysna.

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: nothing, all well

Plussat: Great location and great host Wonderful breakfast Nice clean room

Miinukset: Booked for 3 people for 3 nights. No extra bed on first night ( given an airbed ) and no discount off bill for such.
