“Friendly guesthouse in Knysna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012

Bamboo Guesthouse is a fantastic place to stay in Knysna. Lovely interior design and gardens, friendly, multilingual staff and a great breakfast. It is close to the famous Knysna Heads and the centre of town and waterfront are about 5 min away by car. I would love to stay over again for a few days.

“A very nice guesthouse”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

We stayed at the Bamboo guest house for 3 nights in April 2012. The setting is amazing with the lodges being included in a lovely garden. The staff are really helpful and friendly with us being invited to a BBQ on our second night. Breakfast is good, with a small buffet selection (e.g. muffins, museli, yoghurt) along with a selection... More

“Best B&B I have ever stayed in!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2012

From the minute we arrived we were amazed at the incredible hospitality that Jannie, Gordon, Preston and the entire staff extended to us. The lush garden environment was so unique and relaxing. The two chalets we stayed in were beautifully decorated, with every comfort, great linens, coffee service including half and half in the fridge, and private patios/pools. Evenings spent... More

“Holiday Hideaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2012

My husband, 2 children and I stayed here for 2 nights over our Easter break from the UK, A real hidden gem! Friendly staff, very comfortable accommodation in beautiful surroundings and lovely breakfast. We felt very welcomed, and the advice of local restaurants, beaches and attractions very helpful. Would most definitely recommend!

My husband and I stayed for 1 night at Bamboo - it was one of the most enjoyable places we stayed at...we were so sad to leave the following day. It literally is like a "mini" forest with pathways leading to different private chalets. It has such a homely feeling and the hosts are amazing. We were allowed to braai... More

“Tranquil and cozy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

My husband and I stayed in one of the honeymoon suites for just one night but highly recommend staying for 2 or 3 nights at least. Great service and the decor/garden and feel of the guesthouse is wonderful, intimate and cozy. It was like being in a secret garden!
