Great place with super room and fabulous views over the inlet. Johnn the manager was super helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Food and dining room were special, roaring open fire made for a cozy at home feel. The single criticism would be that the bed was rock hard, I know some people like this but not us. Otherwise is a 10/10

One of the best places we have stayed. Room was everything we expected. Breakfast was scrumptious and service was top notch. We will certainly keep this one on our list. Access to the property is easy and close to amenities.

The room we had was lovely view of the lagoon with a great breakfast. The rooms over look the main road to Knysna below which is busy and audible if you have the doors open. The staff were very helpful with recommendations and reservations for dinner.

A very nice and private house, with amazing view and everything you need is there. Enjoyed a message in the privacy of our house, and there is much to see in Knysna as we went for a boat trip aswell as driving to the heads, visiting some of the most beautiful gholfcourses. Breakfast was included and selection is very healthy and filling as there is enough choices to build your own breakfast. The well equipped bath is very romantic, the whole bathroom is setup for 2 poeple (2showers heads, 2 baisins and big enough bath)
