I stayed at the Brenton Hill SC last week and was very impressed. The rooms are large, and the bathrooms spotless with attention to detail everywhere you look. The owners have really made an effort and clearly understand the value of quality and service. The views are magnificent and well worth every penny ! Definitely two thumbs up !

We stayed here for 5 nights in the Eagles nest in mid April. Andy and Catriona obviously care about their buisness and property and have very high standards. The apartment was large and well equipped. Before arrival we were concerned about the lack of air conditioning. We should not have worried! It was 35' the day we arrived but by... More

We were driving from Cape Town to Addo National Park with our 3 small children and decided to break the long drive and stayed at Brenton Hill for 1 night. What a great place! We stayed at the 3 bedroom apartments which feels more like a house as the place is so well catered and spacious! The apartment even comes... More

It's so wonderful to hear you had a good time at Brenton Hill and one night is never enough! The area for the children is great but even better for tired parents who know their kids are safe but out of their hair for a while! It definately works for me as a mother! Thank you for your very kind... More

we stayed 3 nights and from the outset we knew we were in for a treat, we requested the oyster catcher suite, had our own fully equipped kitchen, lounge and bedroom with some of the best views ever over looking the lagoon and the town of Knysna. We even had the local antelopes visiting us in the early morning! The... More

We enjoyed a wonderful stay of 6 days at Brenton Hill Guest House in February! Brenton Hill is excellent value for money. We stayed at both the Oystercatcher (for 2p) and the Weavers Nest (houses up to 6p). We really loved the spacious Oystercatcher: the room is huge, it has a big en suite with a bath and a separate...

We spent 4 nights at Brenton Hill and thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was an excellent base from which to travel in both directions along the Garden Route and was so tranquil without feeling isolated - just a 10mins drive to Knysna. The room was huge, very clean and with a large en suite. It was actually a wonderful... More

Despite its name, Brenton Hill Guest House now offers only self-catering accommodation in an impressive house of 'South Fork' proportions (for those of you old enough to remember the 'Dallas' tv show). We stayed for 2 nights, sharing with friends the 3 bedroom unit called 'Weaver's Nest'. This has masses of space including a kitchen/living room and its own terrace... More
