The caravan was very comfortable and warm. The wood for Braai was provided. Very quiet and peaceful. Surrounded by nature. The host is a very beautiful, warm, welcoming lady. The place is safe and secure. Everything you need for camping is provided including charged lamps incase of loadshedding. Oh my word, their bathrooms and toilets beautiful and clean. Towels, toilet paper, matches are provided. I am from the rural of the Eastern Cape nothing is surprising about the road it's not bad and also considering that it's a farm. Will definitely go back there.

Located a 10-minute drive from Buffalo Bay Beach, The Riverdeck Accommodation and Backpackers is located 12 km from Knysna's town centre. This property features a restaurant and bar overlooking the river.

Barbecue facilities are also available at the backpackers and camping section.

First of all, the cleanliness of the property was impeccable. As someone who is very particular about cleanliness, I was impressed by the attention to detail and how well-maintained the property was. The linens were fresh, the bathroom was spotless, and the entire apartment was tidy and organized. As someone who traveled with my 5-year-old son, I appreciated the thoughtful touches that were put in place to make our stay more comfortable. But what really set this accommodation apart was the hospitality of the hosts. They were extremely friendly, welcoming, and communicative throughout our stay. They were always available to answer any questions we had and made sure that we had everything we needed to feel at home. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, child-friendly, and hospitable place to stay.

    It was a beautiful location- the view over the ocean was magnificent and the room was excellent and very clean- I was thrilled there was a bath! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and especially appreciated the air conditioning.

    This place is the good value option in one of the poshest sought after spots on the South African Garden route - the Knysna.heads. Bearing in mind that as far as the view goes, you get what you pay for - the kloof. The official view point and the dramatic beach are a short walk (or drive) away. The studio is neat and private and inviting to have one's sundowners and meals on the balcony. Even braaing is possible.

    Very nice views. Very friendly and helpful hosts who served a good breakfast and very quickly asked some noisy guests to be quiet late at night (without us asking). Spacious and comfy rooms.
