We only had one night to enjoy this B & B on the way to Addo but wish we had more time. The units were wonderful, particularly in view of the very reasonable price. We rented three units and they were all lovely. Although we didn't prepare any meals, the units appeared to have all the utensils required including BBQ/Braai.... More

Best value for money we had during our vacation in South Africa. We have stayed at the Hillview on March of 2013 and booked two apartments. Both apartments were immaculate and fully functional and the kitchens were fully equipped to cook a complete meal. The surrounding was quiet and relaxing with a small beautiful pool. Karen the owner was amazing.... More

A good choice in knysna. We had a very nice room with everything we needed to cook in and be comfortable. Very secure, clean, quiet and the owners went out of their way to help. For the price we felt it to be good value.i

What a find this was! We booked the cottage, which has a warm modern interior design, a patio opening up to the swimming pool and a barbecue area. Did I mention the wonderful roof window? When I wanted to barbecue, Melvin, one of the owners, helped me get the barbecue going. All of the staff members were professional and friendly.... More

This is the best value for money Apartment I have stayed at. The rooms are huge with large bed and nice sitting area. The balcony and main window overlooks the Knysna Lagoon up to the Heads. There is a fireplace for colder days. The only problem I foresee is that there is no aircon for warmer days but all windows... More
