“Awesome room with lagoon view. Value for money. We certainly recommend it.”
6 on Protea is situated up on the hills in the established area of Knysna. The views of the lagoon from our room balcony were stunning - yet limited. The balcony where we had breakfast was peaceful with great views of the lagoon. The omelette we chose for breakfast was delicious. Our host was friendly, kind and hospitable.
