“Amazing Amanzi”
Fantastic hotel in a beautiful setting. We had a lovely room overlooking the harbour. Miriam was extremely helpful. It was very comfortable, we slept very well and the hotel was spotless. They have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We stayed an extra night. The location is perfect for the Knysna area. We went on the sunset boat trip operated by the hotel and it was fantastic. Thank you so much for a memorable stay. We hope to be back one day.

“Perfect stay in the most beautiful spot”
The property is excellently situated across the road from the water. There is so much attention to detail - from hot water bottles in your room, to water coolers in the lunge area. The amenities are fantastic with kayaks, sups and bicycles available at all times free of charge. I just absolutely loved this stay. The staff were all excellent and friendly and the food in the restaurant was great. This is an absolute gem and I hope to be back every year if I’m able.
