From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm hospitality and charming, quaint feel of this beautiful B&B. Our room was incredibly comfortable, spotless, and well-appointed, making for a truly relaxing stay. One of the highlights was the incredible breakfast – a delicious spread of fresh fruit and a made-to-order menu that made every morning a treat. The attention to detail and quality of food were outstanding. What made our stay even more special was the effort the staff put into helping us celebrate our anniversary. Their thoughtful gestures and personalized service went above and beyond our expectations. All of this at such an affordable price makes Parkes Manor a hidden gem in Knysna. We highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

The rooms at Turbine Hotel & Spa are elegantly decorated with light fabrics and parquet floors. The suites have a satellite LCD TV and extra long beds. 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!

Falcons View Manor is 1 km from Knysna Harbour, where you can rent a boat and explore the Knysna National Lakes Area. The hotel is 5 km from Simola Golf Club, which was designed by the great Jack Nicklaus. The view from the manor is absolutely stunning with the sunset! And to better admire the view, I would recommend taking a book and a glass of wine, nothing more perfect than that! Also would recommend having dinner there, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is peaceful in the dining room by the fireplace 😊
