Richard and Mandy were exceptional. Opened up their "home" and made it feel as though you were long-lost family and not just a guest. They are fantastic hosts and really make you feel welcome and comfortable. The room was spacious, neat and tidy. The walk-in cupboard was a new experience and a nice addition to have in the room. The noise does not travel so you can get a good night's rest. Breakfast was delicious. Was great to start a day with such a wholesome breakfast. The staff are cheerful and friendly. Always willing to assist and having a smile on their faces. Having the Milkwood Mall just in walking distance (not even 5 minutes) was very convenient. There is a Checkers, Checkers Liquors, tech. shop, clicks, Bootleggers coffee shop and a few clothing shops. So, if you forgot some, all just around the corner.

If you or your spouse are big fan of period drama, you MUST try this place. This historical place will make you feel like you are the main character of pride and prejudice. And this place has beautiful paintings all over the house. Also, Anti mosquito patch is on the house, so you don't need to worry about the insects.

The best short visit in Knysna

The friendly owners were very welcoming, I was even suprised the owner calling me by my name when we had breakfast and it's not easy name by all means..

The hosts are very nice, Richard especially always referring to me by name made me really feel special and seen. The guest house has a lot of history and the hosts were more than happy to take me through it.

The accommodation is run by a very helpful and friendly couple. I stayed in a lovely room with a bathtub and had a great night’s sleep. The breakfast was delicious. The location is very central, within walking distance to the waterfront. I would recommend this place to everyone.
