Absolutely everything to like about this hotel. The location on Thesen Island the views, the friendly smiling staff and their willingness to assist in any way. Quite location but with everything on hand. Not just a mini bar but a well equipped kitchenette and a nice touch with a fresh lemon on the chopping board. Just perfect. Even the loo had a view!

Amazing hotel with great view. The room included a large kitchen, which was very important to us. Very friendly stuff and great breakfast! A bonus was to be so close to the beach. The room also contained private entrance to the pool

TwoAngels

Knysna

Located in a cottage-style house directly on the edge the Knysna Lagoon, TwoAngels offers a variety of uniquely designed self-catering accommodation with panoramic views.

Brett
From

This is a unique find - a room furnished with taste and restraint, but also pragmatism. The stunning setting of Two Angels - a plunging view down through layers of architecture and greenery straight onto the lagoon - is reminiscent of Lake Como. But the dreamy ambiance is supported by a very comfortable and well-planned guest environment, full of little touches (great beds, spotlessly clean linen, an iron), that make it easy to do a day’s sightseeing. The kayaks were an extra touch, which we greatly appreciated. The glory of this place, however, remains its unique setting, as well as the ability to walk down straight into the lagoon and go swimming. Service was friendly and unobtrusive.

Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
