We stayed for two nights in April, 2013. On the plus side - Kate, Erik and Ypie all wonderful and welcoming. Kate's recommendation for a "locals" dinner place was spot on. We loved Mo's and ate there for dinner both nights. Breakfasts were cooked to order and delicious. On the negative side - we stayed in the thatched cottage. The... More

Spent four days at the Knysna Country House, and had a great time. We had an excellent room, with a large balcony and stunning views. Our hosts Erik and Ypie, were lovely too. Breakfasts were excellent, and we appreciated the honesty box for gin and tonics in the evening. All in all, nice people offering a super place to stay... More

This was our third visit to this wonderful guest house. From the warm greeting by the owners, Erik and Ypie, our upgrade to a superior room, relaxing by the swimming pool, the excellent breakfast, and service, we were well satisfied. In particular we appreciated our hosts' help in selecting suitable places to eat in the evening, and interesting walks during... More

The stay at the Knysna Country House was that kind of accommodation we are looking for. Nice and quiet location, spacious garden and pool side with enough room for privacy, a breakfast as we like it. Even we couldn’t book the particular room we want to have because it was sold already, we didn’t regret to stay there. We (golfer)... More

We stayed for three days on our trip along the garden route. Though we couldn't fault the services and breakfast, we just found the standard of the accommodation slightly below what we had experienced elsewhere in SA for a similar price. Sheets a little tired, burn holes in carpet, cobwebs etc. on the plus side, the welcome is warm, breakfast... More

We stayed here as part of our first trip to SA and were very pleased with the service given by Erik and Ypie who were great at letting us know what was on offer in the surrounding area. The room was beautiful and the breakfast fab, the only downside was the weather which we obviously brought from home!! Just got... More

We turned up at the door to see if there was a room at Kynsna Country House, which was clearly a surprise to Erik. It is sufficiently far off the beaten track that few people turn up on spec. The area is quiet but the downside of the location is that one must drive to get to a restaurant or... More

This place is superb - everything is top standard - the rooms, the breakfast, the pool, the people who run the place. This is a small but stellar operation. One of the best places we have ever stayed at, and we have been around a lot.
