View over the lagoon, good location, modern room and delicious breakfast - just perfect. Very friendly owners and staff. We can highly recommend this B&B. We couldn't find any negative points. We will come again next time.

This B&B just has everything you need. Perfectly run by Mareena, who was a friendly and welcoming host. Modern and spotless rooms, with a private balcony and a great view. A nice commucal area and large balcony, where we enjoyed a good breakfast. Mareena is a professional and friendly host. The location is superb, not only offering great views but... More

Traveling alone is not always fun, but the owners made my stay so wonderful and relaxing. From restaurant recommendations, to fun things to do, and where to take a morning run, they were so helpful. The rooms were spotless and modern. Breakfast can be served on your own private balcony. It's definitely great value for service and very near the... More

Worthy of all the excellent reviews, this is a first class B&B that comes at a very reasonable price. Rooms are spotless with beautiful views and quality linen. Breakfast is hotel standard, served to your own private balcony and offers a great choice. It's a very short drive to all Knysna has to offer yet wonderfully peaceful and quiet.

We stayed for 3 nights in Jan 2013 whilst on the garden route. After a long day's driving it was such a relief to check in somewhere so welcoming and comfortable. Dinner was a top priority and were quickly given some good advice to visit the olive tree in the village, which was excellent. Breakfast at the hotel was served... More

We were welcomed by the friendly owners of this lovely place with a parking for all their guests. Immediately we were served tea on our terrace with cold and warm milk. Our morning breakfast was as in a 5star hotel. Compliments.

Great service and well furbished, nice scandinavian looking spacious rooms. It is about 10min walk to the main street and 15 min if taking direct road to waterfront! The rooms hav their own private balcony where one could also eat breakfast. Otherwise breakfast is served in main dining area (in or out as you wish).

We stayed in Knysna for 1 night on our trip along the garden route. This was in my opinion the best guesthouse of our trip - friendly owners, very peaceful location (even though walking distance from centre), beautiful room and the highlight being the private breakfast on the balcony (including stunning view of lagoon!). Highly recommended
