Arrived here for a night in April. The room itself was ok and nicely furnished but bathroom pretty awful - felt much like an old people's home with a musty brown old fashioned bathroom suite which felt very 1970's. What really let it down for us though were the evening staff. The lady who checked us in was by no... More

Very shocked by this report! My wife and I have run Knysna Log-Inn from the start in 1998. We have always prided ourselves on personal, friendly and professional service being given by all our staff, many of whom started here at the same time. During this time the hotel has received a number of personal service accolades. All those service... More

Nice wooden shaped hotel. Only 5 minutes walking from the Knysna Waterfront. Good service, clean comfortable beds, free Wifi. We didn't try the jacuzzi or the swimming pool, but they looked good. We ordered diner in the hotelroom and the food was superb (I never saw such big plates full of tasty food for this price in any hotel!) Breakfast... More

Thank you Ernie for your review. So good to hear that all the staff's hard work was noticed and appreciated. We have become known for our breakfast quality, with tempting fresh and sometimes sweet treats that are a little decadent, like the cinnamon pancakes. More

Stayed here for two nights. The hotel has a nice old world charm. Rooms are well furnished and quite large.We had a very comfortable stay. The hotel is close to the water side warf, where the resturants are located. The staff were not friendly, though the service level was adequate. Breakfast spread was OK but the buffet was laid out...

Dear Prassanta. Thank you for your review. One of our unique selling points is our location in our beautiful little town of Knysna. The only time you should find breakfast area crammed is if we have a large group who ask to depart early and we set out both hot and cold breakfast to speed up service. Maybe that was... More

The hotel overall was very clean and the rooms are beautifully decorated, but the hotel faces onto a very noisy, very busy road which was very disturbing. You cant spend time in your room during the day or try have an afternoon sleep as the traffic noise is so loud. it does quiten down late at night. Make sure to... More

We stayed for just one night. But we all wished we could have stayed longer. You can't go wrong with this place. Beautifully done. Clean, spacious. Good Internet connection. Set within walking distance to the waterfront. Great breakfast. Would highly recommend it. But you have to book in advance. They are pretty full.well worth your money.

The architecture and design - all wood - are unusual and striking. The rooms are comfortable, the bathrooms old-fashioned, but adequate. The location is very convenient, a mere 500m from the Knysna Quays. Breakfast offers a generous continental buffet and a good cooked-to-order selection. Reception and restaurant staff are friendly and helpful. As a major tourist destination, Knysna is pricey.

Dear Martin Thank you for your review. The style of this hotel was conceived by the owners to try and bring back a little of Knysna's past as a Indigenous timber hub. So much of that history has been lost, but we have tried to show guests what you can achieve with timber if you really want to. Location of... More

Me and my family were treated to a great stay with the hospitality of the staff. With the free wifi we were able to see what there was to do around town. We walked around town and was treated to 3 separate malls in a 1 block radius so with a central location the Knysna Log-Inn is the perfect destination.... More
