If you are looking for a place to stay in Knysna, this is it! Vanessa and Trevor were so incredibly accommodating, I felt right at home. The room had everything we needed - recommendations for things to do, a lovely private outdoor seating area, heavenly bed and linens, and the most thoughtful finishing touches! The location was perfect, close to town yet in a quiet area. You can see the golf course from the house and the view was incredible. I wish I could have stayed longer!

This guesthouse is such a gem. The rooms are very modern looking and spotless clean. Very spacious room and with great views. Load shedding was not an issue as they have backup generators. Ample parking space. Special thanks to Wendy, the host. She handled all our tour bookings and always did so with a smile on her face. She also gave us all the information we needed and made us feel at home. Definitely recommend this guesthouse!

Pierre was welcoming and warm and ready to make our stay worthwhile. We arrived late and he was accommodating to the late check in. The room Was ready woth water and coffee. He placed an order at a nearby restaurant for us to have dinner as they do not serve dinner at his place. The sheets were crispy. The room and bathroom very comfortable to accommodate 2 adutls and 2 children. The breakfast is fresh and filling with yogurt fruits bread waffles and croissants. The staff is kind and warm. We needed lundry done and Margaret did it for us while we took the bikes to go around the island. What a magical place!!! We wished we had planned pur stay to be there longer. Such a beautiful place.

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
