We stayed in a double room in the garden annexe - clean, light & airy, comfortable etc. Staff welcoming and helpful, breakfasts very good. Our only disappointment was the view - we selected Yellowwood because of the advertised views over the lagoon. Within the last two months a neighbour has constructed a large steel shed (car sales showroom?)just across the... More

Our family found the Yellowwood Lodge a very hospitable place. We were given a warm welcome on arrival and found the staff very attentive. We stayed in the family unit ( a charming cottage) outside of the main house. The unit had 2 rooms with 2 single beds and a reasonably sized double bed. The pool in the back was... More

We found our stay at the yellowwood lodge to be peaceful, comfortable and within a close proximity to the town's main features. The room was comfortable and the breakfast was generous. What we most enjoyed was having our breakfast on the verandah with its beautiful view as well as our time at the nearby beach. The staff were also very... More

I had a brief stay in Knysna whilst on business and I found the B&B to be clean and comfortable. The location was perfect as it is very close to town and the price reasonable. I would visit this place again both on business and leisure.

The room's bed was of a pleasant size and we had a lovely balcony overlooking knysna's lagoon. The bathroom was simple; and although the shower/bath was one unit it was adequate and clean enough for my wife and I. The thing we most enjoyed about our stay was the filling breakfast we received the next morning and the location of... More

Last January we spent a few days in Southafrica with my husband. We travel along the Garden Route and we spent 4 days in Knysna, where we decided to stay at Yellowwood Lodge. The place itself was very pleasant and cozy and the hospitality of the staff was great. Also I can tell that it looked very tidy and sparkle,... More

We had a separated room from the house called "guest room". It's a family unit. When we arrived, the owner showed us the room and told us not to leave the room without the key, otherwise it will be locked. And we did not see him again until the breakfast. I did not sleep well and felt itchy, so I... More

Yellowwood Lodge is a place very much at the heart of knysna. It was close enough for us to allow our older kidz to go about and do their own thing whilst at the same time us having peace of mind that they were safe. We were minutes from the beach and had the best climate possible. We enjoyed the... More

We enjoyed two nights here. Ernest was charming and made us most welcome. Our room had delightful views across Knysna Lagoon. Very central to walk into Knysna. Highly recommended!

Yellowwood Lodge is pleasant enough, but very much has the atmosphere of a 70s B&B in Blackpool or Torquay. The reception we had was friendly enough and the rooms were reasonably comfortable, but the accommodation felt quite dated and was not somewhere to spend too much time. Particularly off-putting was the ancient combination gas boiler in the bathroom, which seemed... More
