Commanding elevated view of Knysna from the hotel. Room was large, extremely clean and comfortable. No issues at all with load shedding as the hotel had an alternative back up power supply. Hotel also has an interesting history having previously been owned by the Thesen family. Quality of service and food in the restaurant for breakfasts and high end evening meals was excellent. Both managers at the hotel, namely Danelle and Sue, are first class as were all the staff at the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and peaceful break. The hotel gardens are also beautifully well maintained.

I loved my stay here. Right from explaining the load shedding timings to such a great hospitable staff. Rosé, Elizabeth and Maria were very kind to us. The parking was safe, the security was great and what a lovely breakfast! The rooms were very spacious with a balcony overlooking the lagoon with beautiful colourful trees in between. Very pleasant and calm place to be. Pro tip: food can be delivered for dinner from outside but do it at 7pm already. Things shut down very early here.

    Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
