“Best view of Knysna Lagoon”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2012

We stayed 3 nights at Hide Away and loved it. Cecil and Coleen made us feel very welcome and provided lots of recommendations of places to eat and attractions to visit. The Guest House is situated just off the N2 at the western end of town (consequently there is quite a lot of traffic noise during the daytime, but we... More

“Loved it !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2012 via mobile

We recently stayed here for three nights and we were actually sad to leave. It's obvious that Coleen and Cecil have invested a great deal of thought,time, money and effort into hideaway guest house as your every need is anticipated from the air-con to the heaters and fan in every room through to the refreshing towels on arrival. There is... More

We stayed here in Feb 2012. I was with my wife and three daughters aged 13,10 and 6. My daughters are well travelled and very well behaved. We booked based on trip advisor. I have to say that in terms of value for money and the service offered by Colleen it would be very hard to critisise. We were accommodated... More

Hello there Thank you for the review. We take all reviews very seriously (and in most cases very personally) and we do endeavour to take the necessary corrective action as and when required. To be fair, we have thought long and hard about taking children of all ages and continue to do so as very few B&Bs and Guesthouses accommodate... More

“great place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 February 2012

We would recommend Hide Away Guest House to anyone. It was very clean, comfortable and ideally situated for walking to quayside and into Knysna. Views are fantastic and breakfasts great. Colleen and Cecil were a minefield of local information and created a very friendly atmosphere which made our 3 night stay with them an extremely pleasant experience. Nothing was too... More
