My daughter and I spent a night at Brenton on Sea Beach House. What a special place! Our lovely room had wonderful sea views. Derrick, the owner made us the best French omlettes for breakfast. We felt very welcomed. We can highly recommend this as an overnight stay.

I am flattered. As already said, when guests are so kind, how can I not respond back in kindness. Lets see if the boys enjoy my omelets next week. More

Its a pleasure having such delightful people stay with us. Our honeymoon suit overlooking the ocean is a real treat for sure. Should you wish you see this suite and more on the beach house, just look for The Brenton Beach house on You Tube. More

Highly recommended if you are looking for a sophisticated yet easy-going stay with spacious, quiet, light rooms with great facilities. Your host Derrick will help you find just about any activity you need while you enjoy his delicious continental breakfast or one of his excellent omelettes! Highly recommended

It is not a job that I am doing. Meeting such lovely people adds to a perfect life style. Brenton on sea does offer so much. Relaxing on the beach just 5 min away, visit our town on the lagoon. Play a round or two of golf on some of the worlds finest courses. More

Very clean and stylish beach house, BIG bathrooms, very nice landlord Dereck who provides great breakfast and a lot of good tips for activities around Knysna. Brenton Beach is a 5-10 min drive from Knysna, very nice sandy beach few minutes walking distance from the house. No aircon. A little difficult with our small child because of all the nice... More

Calm and peaceful - the perfect place to get away from it all. Wake up to the sounds of the ocean waves on one side and birds chirping on the other. Derrick gave us lots of advice local golf courses (greatly appreciated by my Ray) and other great attractions in the area. Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality.... More

After being on Safari, this was the perfect place to wind down, relax, walk on the beach & enjoy a beautiful room. Derrick was a great host & gave us so many ideas for things to explore. We would recommend Brenton Beach House to anyone who drives the garden route.
