An absolutely wonderful breakfast. Many fresh and cooked options. Hosts and all staff were so warm and welcoming and went out of their way to assist us with anything we required. Sitting down for breakfast and being looked after by Memory was like waking up to a big warm hug!

What a lovely place to stay. It's one of the most beautiful places we have stayed in and we travel a lot. The house is facing the Knysna river, and either with low or high tide you get amazing views to it. Mary Anne and her husband, the owners, have been running the place for almost 25 years, and are as passionate as day one. Mary Anne made us feel at home from the beginning, she kindly upgraded us to the master bedroom facing the lagoon, and recommended a fabulous place for seafood for our dinner. House is less than 5min drive to Knysna Quays where all restaurants are. Hope we can stay in that beautiful place on earth again.

    Our room had a jacuzzi. It was nice and romantic. The hotel is also 6km from TheHeads where you get to see the beautiful Knysna views. We jogged to the heads and took an Uber back. It was very lovely.
