We spent 2 nights here and found it very good. Lia was welcoming, and the room was spacious. Our booking said the bed was KS (180-210 cm ) which is what we need but we found the bed was only a QS. Lia offered to change our room the next day as they were full, but I felt it was... More

We stayed at Augusta Bay for four nights and really enjoyed the time there. The room was very large, king sized bed, desk, sitting area in front of a large french balcony and a sofa in front of another french balcony. The lagoon is just across the street, and the Heads are right there as well. They provide a nice... More

We stayed at the hotel for one night on the way to PE. The view of the lagoon is simply beautiful. There is an Italian restaurant at the bay with great views and atmosphere. The room and bathroom were huge in a very good condition. It was better than we thought it would be. The service seemed great but when... More

We stayed in the Augusta Bay for 4 nights. The area is really quiet and the view from our room was amazing - you have the view of the knysna bay. In front of the hotel there is a small hidden beach where you can enter the water. For a supermarket or restaurant you have to drive into knysna or... More

We stayed here when in Knysna. The first thing to say about the guesthouse is the size of the rooms. The suite we stayed in was very large and had lovely views across the estuary thanks to Augusta Bay's great location on the Heads. The service was excellent. One of the staff took our bags to and from our car... More

We had been expecting very nice views from our bedroom (The Augusta National), as previous guests had highlighted this as a particular feature. However, a new house is being built directly in front of your bedroom which largely obscures these views. The room was very spacious, but I can't really see why you would want 2 double beds in a...
