“A very relaxing couple of days in gorgeous surroundings, a couple of minutes drive from the centre of Knysna.”
The property was gorgeous, beautifully decorated and immaculate and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay here. The owners Katrin and her husband were so friendly and helpful and looked after us really well. The breakfasts were delicious too.

“Very nice place to stay,”
Although not in the town centre, it was a great location, and very easy to get there in a hire car. Lovely views around the building. Our room was very nice, large and with a very comfortable bed. Convenient for parking a car. Nice place to eat breakfast, and the owner spent time chatting with us, and letting us know more about the nicest places to visit, which we do in the hire car, not too far to drive. Walk round their back garden for some lovely views.

“Only at Badger's Lodge for one night but couldn't fault it.”
We were only at Badgers Lodge for one night but it was perfect for what we wanted. Rooms are beautiful and clean. A short drive into Knysna. We had to leave early so missed breakfast but overall we would highly recommend.

“Authentic Knysna Bliss”
The design, layout and rooms. Felt comfortable and authentic. The hosts were super friendly and made us feel right at home. The whole lodge is extremely well kept and feels brand new. We only stayed for one night but could easily stayed for a week.

“Comfortable, convenient, and clean!”
The entire team was very welcoming. The property was mostly very quiet and clean. The breakfast spread was delicious. I loved the pool and sun deck and the little bar/chill area, too. I spent a full week there and it was definitely value for money.

“Great living experience”
Amazing and definitely worth staying at! I wish I'd stay there longer. It's located in the calm residential area in Knysna with lots of beautiful vegetation around and nice garden view, and it's managed by lovely hosts who can give you valuable advice about things to do in the region. I enjoyed the design of the outdoor area, and the rooms were super cozy and well-designed too. And I'd also highlight that furniture, walls, floor are new and fresh there, no renovation works are needed, unlike in many other tourist accommodations in South Africa. It adds a big value to the living experience. All necessary facilities, like A/C, fridge, equipped private bathroom, parking, pool, are available and in good conditions. 3 mins on foot, there is a cool restaurant with delicious food named 'Social eatery' in case you are lazy to drive to the city center for diner (but driving is still quick, around 5 mins). I have no any single minus to indicate. It was a perfect stay and I do recommend this place.

“Wonderful round room in beautiful surroundings”
Beautiful location above Knysner - you need a car. The room was lovely as were the views. Pool also an added bonus. All who worked there were lovely

Loved the round rooms, plenty of space and very comfortable beds. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming and breakfast was great! They also have two gorgeous friendly dogs on the property but don’t worry if you don’t like dogs, they’re kept separate but we wanted to meet them!
