Nice and modern hotel. Room was clean and breakfast was great! The location is also very nice as you’re a couple of minutes walking from the Waterfront. Lastly, there’s parking available on location and there’s always a guard, which I think is a great plus

The hotel has a very nice location close to the Knysna center, with an amazing view of the whole lagoon. It is a quiet place with a nice restaurant and a refreshing swimming pool. I spent relaxing time here, which helped me recover after an unexpected operation in a private hospital nearby. I would like to come back again. Thank you to everyone who cared for me during my recovery.

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.
