“Very beautiful, quiet stay with wonderful owners and good personnel”
The ample room is tastefully decorated, modern with an African touch. Situated in a green and quiet valley not too far from the city centre of Knysna. Small pool with amenities to relax peacefully, very nice. Fantastic breakfasts on demand and lots of proposals and incentives for things to do around Knysna which was helpful.

“My stay was marvelous and the host Shannon was so accommodating.”
I liked everything. The room was exceptional and the fact that I could have my breakfast in bed was awesome. I loved that there is a gas stove I can use. It was so peaceful all around the property. The breakfast was very nice. Shannon gave me all the information to make my stay nice and easy to navigate the surroundings.

“A spotless, 5-star stay with thoughtful touches—highly recommended in Knysna.”
Our entire stay felt like a true 5-star experience. Everything was exceptionally clean, with an incredible attention to detail that did not go unnoticed. What made our visit even more special was the thoughtful gesture of providing extra toys for our one-year-old son. Little touches like that made us feel truly welcome and were greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Knysna. We had a wonderful experience and would gladly return!

The location is great! The stay was even better! Shannon and Daniel are by far the best hosts! They made sure to equip us with an itinerary everyday. The groundstaff were so friendly, they would clean our place while we were away which was so nice. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone from couples, friends to families! The stay was 10/10!

“A true 5***** star experience!”
Shannon is not only a great host, but also an amazing cook and tour guide. Every morning we received an homemade breakfast basket with a wide range of different choices from eggs (e.g omelettes) till sweet savory like fresh fruit salad, pancakes and muffins. All homemade and very delicious! A daily highlight: the fresh squeezed juices. Shannon is furthermore providing custommade recommendations for day trips and lovely dinner places. The appartement and estate were in a perfect condition. Daily room service and small details like fresh flower Bouquets in the room were enriching our stay. As well as the peacocks and multiple birds being in the garden - just lovely to sit on the terrace and watch them while having a tea. Not to forget Jessy, their super friendly dog, which is always up for a pet. For kids and swimmers there is an inviting pool area with comfy beach beds and a sitting area as well. Thanks for a lovely stay! We‘ll definitely be back once we are in town again! :-)
