This was the best hotel in our garden route tour. Every detail has been looked after. The room had an amazing view, a wooden fire hot tub, fireplace, comfy bed, the people were very attentive and the pool and sauna were a very big plus. Highly recommended!

I had an incredible stay at the Turbine Hotel & Spa. The unique setting in a converted power station was both fascinating and charming. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the marina. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. The on-site spa provided a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, perfect after a day of exploring. The dining options were superb, with a delicious variety of dishes to choose from. Overall, a memorable and delightful stay. Highly recommended!

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.

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

The location was fantasic with a large terrace onto the waterfront. The welcome from Faith was exceptional. The parking and security felt very safe and we had an easy walk to Thisen Island. I guess the bedroom and kitchen were slightly tired but very clean with good linens & given the incredible location it was extremely good value for money. We loved the Dry Dock restaurant and 34 South, Knysna Heads, the swimmable beach at Buffalo Bay and East Head Cafe. Leisure Island is beautiful, a very special stay.

This was a splendidly spacious apartment on two floors with glorious views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. The gas hob and oven worked well and were proof against load-shedding. The bed and the lounge seating were very comfortable. The swimming pool was close by and very refreshing. I would recommend this property for an extended stay. The bathroom and the shower room both worked well. The staff were great!
