Let's start by saying that I stayed here at the Premier Resort The Moorings twice in a row during a round-road trip from Cape Town to Addo Elephant National Park and back, despite having several other options. What I appreciated the most is the quality of the service provided by the staff. A little touch: on my second visit, they gave me the very same room I had the first time, plus they always remember and call you by name, which is something that I really appreciate. The swimming pool area is very enjoyable, and the menù provided for a lunch by the pool is various, and with a great value for money. The room is bigger than expected, spotless, and I did appreciate the terrace so much. The position is good as well, close to every main attraction you can find in Knysna.

A friendly place.

A friendly place. Waterfront area and a lagoon boat trip are a must-do. Plenty of places to visit in the area. Dry Dock restaurant highly recommended. Easy to get around the area although parking in central area a bit problematical. A visit to 'The Heads' viewpoints which is nearby. Drive the 7-passes road for scenery and driving experience. Visit the transport museum in nearby George (it's free!). Margaret's viewpoint on Brenton-on-sea road is nearby and not to be missed.

Everything was nearby, but you need to be there to experiences the wonder of Knysna. It is a must to go visit the Love Gifts store. The Portuguese restaurant food was delicious, but you have to try all the food places there as everything is divine.

I haven't visited Knysna in a long time and sadly I have to say that, in the last few years the city has gone to the dogs, it is 3rd world at best. Restaurants, tourist areas and the natural beauty is still awesome, but the city center is dirty, run down and unsafe to walk around in, especially after dark.

The Amanzi Boutique Hotel is superbly located on leisure island looking across the lagoon toward Knysna Heads. Our room had an amazing balcony where we could relax, sunbathe and enjoy that view. The staff (and there seemed to be quite a few of them) all went out of their way to ensure that every request we made was attended to and we wanted for nothing. Advice on restaurants etc was very good; the restaurant shuttle ride (200 Rand, return) was very comfortable and prompt.

The hotel is located at the shore of the Knysna Lagoon, 3 km from the city center, so It's tranquil and calm. I had a beautiful lagoon view at sunset time from my room. Additionally, all the staff are friendly and helpful. It's the perfect hotel for a relaxing vacation.
