This was THE best place we stayed during our three week stay in SA. The accommodation and service were absolutely fabulous. The house was beautifully decorated with original paintings on the walls and a comfortable lounge. We were treated like friends rather than paying guests from the minute we arrived. We ordered breakfast in our room expecting the usual tray... More

We spent our last 4 nights in SA at South Villa and I think we saved the best for last! We enjoy cruising holidays and feel you don't get that level of service anywhere else, until now. We were greeted on arrival by the owner Marina, and her son Chris very kindly took our luggage to our room. The house... More

My friend and I have recently spent 2 nights at this lovely establishment. I have to say the couple who run this place couldn't have been more helpful. We had travel problems due to a swallowed Bank Card' instead of arriving at 3.00pm we arrived at 3.00am! We phoned ahead expecting to have to find alternative arrangements to be told... More

My boyfriend and I (29 and 31, both from London) stayed here in November whilst on the Garden Rote. We stayed 2 nights. We had spent the first 4 nights in the national parks of Storm River and Addo Elephant Park and it was therefore really welcome to arrive at such a beautiful guest house. I would recommend one of...

We were trying to think of anything that we didn't like about South Villa and we couldn't! I only hope that people don't miss it as it is slightly tucked away just as you enter Knysna. I hope that the fact it isn't right in the centre wouldn't put people off as it is only about a 15 minute walk... More

We stayed just one night in Knysna on our trip along the garden route, but our stay at the South Villa Guest House was excellent: confortable and extremely well-equipped room with heated beds and free internet access, very good breakfast and wonderful hosts with a particular attention to detail, beautiful view overlooking the bay. Very quiet street, we didn't have... More

I had a pleasant one night stay at South-Villa passing through Knysna on a recent business trip. My room was neat and clean with a view towards the lagoon and a nice breakfast was served by one of the staff on my balcony before I left the next morning. I'm always looking for an excuse to come back to Knysna... More
