They did not call it Panorama Lodge by chance. A wonderful view over the Knysna lagoon. But that is not (all) what makes this B&B special. The real treasure are the hosts.

Nice Accomodation in Knysna. German speaking owners, many tips for what to do and where to go. Housebar, good rates for drinks.

Dieter and Tina have built a lovely well situated home away from the bustling Knysna centre. Their help, knowledge and suggestions on all aspects of our trip was excellent in every way. We really felt at home and hope to visit again.
