    Where to start ? It´s a beautifull and luxurious guesthouse in a quiet residential area with stunning view of the lagoon. The whole place is kept immaculately. But the real reason you shoud definitely stay here are Roeleen and Steve. You couldn´t feel more at home while on holiday. They take excellent care of their guests, can provide you with a wealth of information on things to do, but are above all just lovely and fun people. For us they are reason enough to come back to Knysna.

    Spacious room with shops and restaurants conveniently available nearby. They also have a nice garden and a pool which surely would be great to dip in during warmer times of the year. Despite the central location the place was really quiet and I slept peacefully.

    Everything was perfect. Hosts were very welcoming and helpful providing us with tips during our stay and kept us informed of loadshedding etc. The location is great, walking distance down to town if not wanting to drive. The studios are beautiful and spotlessly clean. Nice attention to details made the stay very pleasant.Views from the house are stunning and the location is quiet and very peaceful.

    The location was perfect, quiet, and peaceful surrounds. Quality of all the fittings and amenities within the Accomodation was of a high standard. The decor and colour scheme as well as the little special touches made the short stay well worth it.
