Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.

The staff were absolutely fantastic. My parents were staying here and when there was a medical emergency the staff, particularly the two receptionists on duty that evening and the security guard, were super helpful and the manager even personally brought them home from the hospital at around 2am. The staff went above and beyond! Room and facilities were nice and modern. Breakfasts were good. Location relative to main Knysna area is perfect. Many things in walking distance.

    I entered both of the cycle races but the whole experience was wonderful - the views were awesome; people were friendly, and the facilities very good. Restaurants in the area were top of the range. Even joyed the rugby on the tv's at a local pub & grill at Buffelsbaai.

    I have visited Knysna many times, usually during the oyster festival doing the cycle tour. I always enjoyed being there. Unfortunately the Knysna municipality seems to be unable to keep the condition of the roads in an acceptable condition (in line with the general upkeep of infrastructure in most municipalities). Fortunately the food and landscape is still marvelous

    Knysna scenery is amazing, though would stay outside of Knysna when in the area again as prices for restuarants were very high. If you are in Knysna then visit the Knysna Elephant Park, here there is value for money and its supports the efforts of the park and its a wonderful experience.

    A winter trip to Knysna offers the opportunity to do some exploring and a lot of recharging. Exploring and eating our way around the area - going to the Heads Viewpoint, exploring Belvidere and the views to Brenton on Sea. Last year Knysna was also our base to explore Plett, Sedgefield and other areas. This year we spent more time in Knysna and more time relaxing too.

    The sea facing Coral Suite was large with great views of the ocean & The Knysna Heads. Very comfortable big bed. Dinner next to the fireplace was really good. Breakfast was good with a small but good selection of buffet items & a great variety of cooked items to order- the views from the restaurant are amazing. Having bicycles out the front of the hotel that guests can use is a really great touch - the ride around the island is flat & easy to do I would definitely recommend doing it.
