The room was clean, and they changed the linen and towels the following day we slept there. I also appreciate the patience of the lady running the place. Due to unavoidable circumstances, we couldn't make it at the agreed check-in time; we were two hours late. But shame, we find her waiting for us.

“A wonderful stay with excellent service, comfortable rooms, and amazing breakfast.”
We absolutely loved our stay! The room was spotless, super comfortable, and the breakfast went above all expectations. The staff were amazing and so accommodating; they even switched off the aircon when it was a bit too loud so my partner could focus on an important interview.

“Tucked away a comfortable haven of calm a stone's throw from 'downtown' Knysna”
Guest numbers (or lack of) favoured us, having the property to ourselves for the duration of our stay which was both enjoyable yet slightly unsettling. The property Manager Chrissie was delightful and very amenable and her associate Nicky, equally charming and helpful provided a very satisfying daily breakfast. Rooms are very generously sized and beds very comfortable with quality cotton bed linen making for a Good nights' sleep. Overall, a very enjoyable stay but property is in need Of an update and refresh. Would nevertheless happily return to 47th
