Couple looking for a peaceful getaway

Our suite was spacious and overlooked the water, which was fine! We enjoyed breakfast al fresco, with a variety of choices, and it felt personal with porridge being a highlight for my wife.

It wasn’t cheap, but I found it acceptable for the experience we had.

The stunning free lake tour was a delightful highlight that made our stay even more memorable.

The suite required some minor refurbishments, as it felt functional but lacked ambiance and color.

stunning boutique hotel, lovely gardens, elegant pools

Power outages impacted the stay!!! No backup generator means guests are left in the dark. Room amenities need updating, as the furniture feels dated. Atmosphere lacks vibrancy in the evenings with minimal dining options available!!!

Knysna magic 🌊✨

Dik brekkie with lagoon views was a proper highlight! Staff went the extra mile to make our anniversary special, with flowers and bubbly in our room. Such a lekker vibe, we felt super welcome all around. Perfect spot to chill after a long day of hiking!

Not having an on-site restaurant was a bit of a drag. had to drive into town for dinner.

noise disruptions

availability of transportation

Exceptional warmth from the staff throughout the stay enhanced the experience, further strengthened by underfloor heating in the spacious bathroom during winter visits. The private barge trip turned out to be a delightful highlight, creating a unique and intimate experience. Breakfast offerings were substantial and beautifully prepared, with a standout soup making a comforting addition. the limited dinner options necessitated travel to nearby dining spots, and occasional noise from other guests detracted slightly from the peace. a memorable retreat with outstanding service.

Exceptional Experience Overlooking the Lagoon

I recently enjoyed a lovely two-night stay with stunning views of the lagoon from my room. The highlight was definitely the incredible service from the attentive staff, with special mention to Sandy, who helped personalize our experience with great recommendations. The complimentary boat trip across the lagoon was a fantastic added touch that made our stay even more memorable. Although it’s a bit out of town, transportation was easily arranged and reasonably priced for dining options.
