We had lagoon view rooms for 2 nights in Christmas week. Big gorgeous rooms with lovely views. We should have arrived earlier to enjoy sunset from the beautiful balcony. Keep in mind this is a little outside of Knysna town, you will need to drive back down the hills to get to town. As a guest house, serves breakfast only... More

We had a huge terrace with a fantastic view over the lagoon and enjoyed the sunsets from there. The owners, Ludwig and... More

On my business travels I've stayed in many establishments and at Overmeer I have found the place I will always go back when in Knysna. Ever since my first stay here 3 years ago I have returned on a monthly basis. I travel alone and really miss home when I stay in impersonal hotels, but at Overmeer I am always... More

We enjoyed our recent two night stay at the Overmeer. We were part of a small group traveling the Garden Route with Southern Eagle Tours. The room was very nice, the bed was comfortable, bathroom spacious, breakfast very good and all staff very accomodating. It was raining so hard one evening that we decided to buy a take away dinner... More

Obviously the Overmeer wasn't very keen to offer a full English breakfast otherwise... More

The hosts and staff are so helpfull and friendly. The location is the best, overlooking the lagoon from your private balcony. Breakfast was very nice and tastefull. So lucky we did find the very nice place in Knysna. Rooms are very spacious and everything is there. More
