Jooo what can I say everything, the service was superb, like the service from reception it was excellent at the dinning the two ladies who served us they know how to serve their customers. I think the name was Elsie or Else and the Cheff lady. Its a go place for me. The gentleman at the reception he was very helpful with everything. The room was clean towels linen like everything was excellent. Else told us about the cycling and the Oyster festival and we went there so it was fun. One word our stay was SUPERB

There was nothing that I dint like, infact in our room there was no aircon nor electric blanket but like the way the service was I even forgot that there was no aircon. They informed us and we were okay because it wasn't that cold.

Everything was great. Breakfast was fantastic. The sheff and waitress a special kind of awesome. Real cape hospitality. Manager super friendly and helpful. We also had the privilege meeting the owner: if you are planning to stay over in Knysna, whether it is for one night or a couple of weeks, be sure to give this great place a visit! Real value for money and you will leave knowing you will be back...

Staff were amazing and more than welcoming, going the extra mile to make us feel welcome and comfortable, always smiling, and honest!! (We forgot some of our valuables and staff ensured they were found.) Traci is the best! We got free room upgrades and they were much needed after our long travels. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Highly recommend this place!

The staff were so friendly and accommodating, especially Ilse and Tracy. They always had a back up plan in addition to their generator with all the loadshedding happening. Ilse and Travy made us feel so welcomed and at home. The food was amazing, rooms were always clean and views are breathtaking. Definitely coming back here again.

Place is clean and beautiful. Staff is friendly and breakfast was great

The showers are open they need to install shower doors and glasses. It’s uncomfortable to bath cause the whole floor gets wet and its cold cause its open.

Such a beautiful resort with the most amazing staff. You certainly have a gem of a place!

The aircon did not work due to loadshedding, but it was explained very graciously that the parts would only be available next year. Otherwise it was perfect, thank you!
