The Augusta Bay hotel was perfect for our short two day stay in Knysna, with a great hostess recommending great places to visit and eat - but what we loved the most was the fantastic view of the lagoon we had from our room ('Pebble Beach') Choose this room if you fancy lounging on your bed on an eve with...

Spectacular scenery and a great little hotel on the heads. We had a large room with views over the lagoon with a large glass roof to the bedroom to views the stars at night (it does have a blind). Warm welcome form the landlady, Monica, who was very helpful with advice on things to do and see. We stayed for... More

We came here on our way to Cape Town via the Garden Route. Monica was a real gem and made us immediately welcome. There are a couple of lovely restaurants within walking distance and many wonderful sights within easy reach of this lovely, relaxed Guest House. There was a day without electricity (around the whole region) but Monica managed to... More

The Augusta Bay Guest House is in an almost perfect position on East Head near Knysna.

Unfortunately at present there is building work across the road which can lead to noise from about 7am. However this is not a big problem as... More

My only criticism of this excellent guest house is that it is not cheap but this criticism could probably be aimed at many of the South African guest houses which are getting a bit carried away with their pricing policies. Special mention must be made of Monica - an absolutely delightful lady who could not have been more pleasant or... More

This was like icing on the cake/jewel on the crown as the grand finale of our 11 day vacation on the Garden Route. The Augusta National Family room we were given was extremely spacious and luxurious. The best part was that it came with a Jacuzzi bath… just what we need after so many days of travel. Internet cable for... More

What a great place to stay when spending time in Knysna. Close to the heads in a very quiet environment, a true place to relax. Service is excellent and rooms are very spacious and luxurious. Although they do not appear to be very modern, it is true quality and worth a while. For golfers the guest house has good deals... More
