My fiance and I stayed in a self-catering apartment in early May 2013 called "The Nest". The apartment was very comfortable, with a lovely deck and views out over the lagoon and towards the Heads, although they are some distance away. The location of the B&B is great in that it is a few minutes drive to the Knysna centre,... More

Sadly we did not meet Mary and Derek as they were visiting family during our stay but we were in the very capable hands of their friends Dave and Gwen. We stayed for 6 nights in the Cabin which we found to be very clean and comfortable and as other visitors have said with wonderful views of the lagoon. Just... More

We stayed with Mary and Derek for the 6th time in November 2012 and as usual they made us very welcome. They are a lovely couple and always welcome us when we stay with them for a week. The Nest overlooking the Heads and the Lagoon is wonderful and relaxing. Knysna is a lovely location and Forget-me-not is very well... More

We stayed 6,5 weeks at Forget-me-Not, Knysna, and had the best holiday ever in our 60 + years, why ? - because Forget-me-Not offered, comfort, peace, brilliant views, all day sunshine on terrace, garden, pool, privacy, and Mary + Derek are simply just the best. many many thanks for a superb holiday - Tricia and Chris, Antwerp, Belgium.

My husband, myself and our two children had a lovely stay at "the Nest". The accommodation was spotless and comfortable, not to mention the beautiful view. I especially appreciated the personal touches, for example milk in the fridge when we arrived. Highly recommended. Karin Buckle, Cape Town.

My wife and I stayed at Forget-me-Not on 5 December 2012 and enjoyed it thoroughly. The accommodation was beautiful and comfortable. Then on 13 December we stayed again, this time with our 89-year old parents/parents-in-law. We again enjoyed it tremendously being in two larger units with excellent views of the Knysna Lagoon. It really made our day as it made... More

We stayed in "the Nest" which is a lovely little apartment with a spectacular view from the balcony. It is well equipped and comfortable and the owner Mary is very friendly and helpful.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Forget Me Not. The facilities were excellent; Mary and Derek are perfect hosts and are always available to assist. Forget me not is very convenient - only a short distance from Knysna and surrounds. We strongly recommend it to any one visiting Knysna.
