We stayed here for 3 nights during a short tour of the Garden Route. From the very first moment we were made to feel extremely welcome by Marion and David, the owners. They have done a wonderful job developing their home and gardens and have created a really lovely place to stay. Our 2 bedroom apartment was absolutely delightful, very... More

We really enjoyed our stay of 12 nights in the self-catering apartment at Armadillo. The facilities were of high quality and the gardens, pools and setting were lovely. Marion and David looked after us very well and our rooms were serviced daily (with linen changed every two days) thanks to Dot. Everything certainly lived up to the excellent reviews we’d... More

What can you say about Armadillo and Marion & David? They definitely go the extra mile. So welcoming, glad we had booked 5 nights but it should have been more. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable even providing a hi-fi & cd’s, fridge with everything you could need. Laundry was left in the morning and ready in our room on... More

We stayed at Armadillo Studios for 5 nights as part of a longer roadtrip in December. This lovely lodge is situated perfected on a residential hill away just on the outskirts of the Knysna town. The theme is green - a beautiful bird friendly garden; solar powered facilities; no chemical detergents. We were greated like royalty when we arrived and... More

A huge thank you to Marion and David and their beautiful Armadillo Studios! We stayed four nights and would have loved to have stayed longer. The accommodation, setting, pool and hospitality were superb; it was the best stay of our whole trip. Marion and David go out of their way to help and we highly recommend Armadillo above all accommodation... More

This is a lovely haven of tranquillity above Knysna with a garden of spectacular planting now well grown in. My room was a... More

We stayed 6 days in Armadillo Studios and these were the most wonderful days of our South Africa trip. It was not only because of the nice and spacious rooms with the luxurous bathrooms, not only because of the beautiful garden with its lovely swimming pool, not only because of the fantastic location in Knysna hills or the fantastic fruit...

We stayed here for 5 nights and simply could not have wished for a better experience. David & Marion ( the owners ) are simply brilliant - they have thought of everything, they were so friendly, helpful and considerate, we genuinely felt as if they had been friends for years. The studio rooms are all extremely well equipped, spacious with... More

Knysna is one of the places you have to visit on the Garden Route. We can recommend you Armadillo Studios 100%, the best choice in Knysna. We booked a 2 bedroom appartment for 3 nights (to short!!) with a private terrace and braai facilities. Every day a very good breakfast (fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast, eggs to your choice). The second... More
