We stayed in 'The Nest' for two nights, which was a self-catering studio apartment. There was plenty of space and a fantastic view over the Lagoon. Sadly it rained for most of the time we were there, so we weren't able to sit out on the terrace to really appreciate it or use the pool. We only met Mary during... More

On a recent friends reunion I had the privilege of staying at Forget-me-Not and definitely will not forget them. The hosts were friendly and helpful with their knowledge of local places to visit, including eating establishments. The views across the lagoon were amazing and I believe all rooms share this outlook. Quiet times were wonderful in the garden, near the... More

Our daughter and son in law Ben and Sarah had part of their honeymoon in Knysna and came home raving about the Forget-me-Not B&B. At the beginning of February we spent two weeks in Knysna and were not disappointed. What a wonderful B&B to stay in. The accommodation was first class, not only the comfortable rooms but the extras. Lovely... More

Derek and Mary are such sweet hosts. Their bed-and-breakfast is tastefully decorated and located on a rise overlooking the Knysna estuary. We felt like we were on our honeymoon again. Everything about this place is just right. Truly - I can't think of anything bad to say. Our party had the two upstairs apartments. Both were beautiful and so serene.... More

What a fabulous time we had in Knysna and especially at Forget-me-not. We could hardly drag ourselves away from the beautiful views from Forget-me-not and the warm and friendly owners Derek and Mary. We found there was so much to do in the area if you are an outdoor person. Walking with a Cheetah was one of the most spectacular... More

The title says it all. What a place - I loved it and I want to go back! We stayed there in early January. We were 2 adults and 2 children. We stayed in the upstairs apartment and the view was amazing. I just wanted to sit on the deck and look at the view. The apartment was very comfortable.... More

We have visited the Garden Route several times and enjoy every return visit better than the last. Forget-me-not is situated in the centre of the Garden Route, so short drives took us everywhere without wasting our days moving to other guest houses along the coast. You can also relax in their lovely garden, cool of in the swimming pool and... More

We stayed with Mary and Derek in November 2011, this was our 3rd stay and would thoroughly recommend it!! They both made us very welcome and comfortable. The location is ideal, quiet and with wonderful views of the lagoon and The Heads. The breakfast is super and for self catering, "The Nest" is highly recommended.We look forward to our next... More

We stayed here for two nights specifically in 'the nest' apartment. This room had a brilliant view of the knysna Lagoon and was vet spacious. It was beatiful watching the sunset. The hostess was great as well. Very helpful and thoughtful. Had a great stay. Recommended.
