The service was absolutely excellent and the hosts went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms were serviced every day (even though it was over the New Year's weekend), and we had the most fabulous daily breakfast that I've ever experienced in similar accommodation - especially the freshly baked pastries. The property is set in a lovely leafy area, with a beautiful garden and space to relax and enjoy a BBQ.

The only disappointment - NOT the fault of the hosts - was the fact that it was a little overcast so we were unable to do the long walks that we planned for our trip. Definitely something to look forward to for the next visit!

Everything here was absolutely amazing! What stood out the most, was the kindness of the host family. They make your stay comfortable, relaxed, and memorable. They are all very kind and are always there to help and give good tips about what to do in the area. We also loved the food they prepared. We had dinner there twice and definitely had the best malva pudding we had during our stay in South Africa! Also the breakfast is delicious. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here when paying a visit to Knysna

I wish I could give this property an 11/10. We stayed one night, and from the moment we pulled in to the moment we left we were made to feel welcome and cared for bh the attentive mother daughter duo that run the guesthouse. They talked to us like old friends and made us feel right at home. The property (common spaces and room) was clean, secure, and well maintained. Our kids loved the garden/lawn area and the treehouse. Breakfast was a beautiful hand made spread. We only wish we could have stayed longer!!

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Wow, this was truly the best B&B I've ever stayed at! This was one of the stops along my BazBus route, and I'm so glad we stopped here. We had to take an Uber from Knysa to get to bWhale, but there were plenty of drivers and it's very affordable. The property itself is off the beaten path in a cute, quiet neighborhood in the trees. The courtyard is SO cute, with lots of lounging space and a garden! The room itself was clean and cute, with a comfortable bed and the nicest bathroom/shower that we had had in SA. The backyard was a nice place to hang out, and even had some monkey visitors! The dining room had a fire and more spaces to hang out. There was an option for a homemade dinner for a very reasonable price upon arrival, and it was one of the best meals we have had in SA! Breakfast was also super super yummy. But the best part about our stay was by far were the people! This is a family run operation and we were welcomed like old friends. I would absolutely stay again and would recommend it to anyone staying in Knysa!

This B&B is excellent! The host are so friendly and helpful. The breakfast is made from scratch each day, from fresh breads to pastries and more. Plus, the fresh baked goods vary every day, and every single item we ate was delicious. The carrot cake was a family favorite. The hosts have a joy in their hospitality and food preparation, and it shows in everything they do. We also ate Christmas Eve dinner at the lodge. They served fresh caught fish, mash potatoes, and salad straight from the garden. It was such a wonderfully homemade meal that was healthy and amazing. It was just the break from "restaurant" food we needed. The rooms and garden are perfectly cleaned and styled. The wifi was good for digital nomads and there are nice work spaces in the lounge and porch. The shower has great pressure. We were all dragging our feet when we had to check out. We would have liked to add more days to our stay. This is a newer lodge and it will soon be hard to get a reservation when the word gets out! I highly recommend this exceptional B&B. It is excellent in value and quality.

EVERYTHING!! My hosts were the BEST. Quick response to my late check in, even waited for me and still showed us around. So so friendly. The BnB itself is in a beautiful, tranquil location close to everything at the same time. The rooms are squuuuicky CLEAN and we had the BEST sleep in their firm mattresses (we actually want to get the brand of bed they have that's how comfy it is) We were treated to a beautiful breakfast with a fruit, homemade yogurt and muesli. Followed by a choice of breakfast so delicious, homely and warmly served. We left so inspired by our hosts' hospitality and the friendly staff. Definitely coming back here

Nothing at all, we had a perfect stop over from Coffee Bay yo Cape Town

Host Cindy and her family was exceptional, they are very welcoming and felt like home. Breakfast was lovely, all home made and very tasty, it was really amazing. Property is located in a very quiet location, we really enjoyed our stay, though it was a short stay we did not feel any shortfalls here, I would recommend this place, very secured.

Nothing that I can mention here.

The overall package you get here is absolutely amazing! Starting with the exceptionally friendly and helpful family who is running the guest house, the beautiful garden and the very good room, everything here can be recommended in total. We loved strolling through the garden and the homemade breakfast is world class. We head to come back as soon as possible!

The hosts were so welcoming and helpful. We staying in the cabin which was beautiful, and we very much enjoyed sitting on our decking and taking in the lovely garden. The photos really don't do it justice. The breakfast was incredible, everything was home made and so delicious. We really wish we could have stayed longer and could not recommend it enough! Thank you bwhale!

Loved the hosts! They were exceptionally accommodating and friendly. They went the extra mile to accommodate us at 5am in the morning, as runners, with a special breakfast. Everything was nice and clean, and I loved our rooms interior. This is such a peaceful and quite environment.
