Our room at Candlewood Lodge was perfect. Spacious and beautifully decorated so that it was a pleasure to spend any downtime relaxing at the lodge. Hosts Grahma and Joyce go out of their way to make you feel welcome, giving advice about what's on in the area, and breakfast was excellent with a choice list presented to you. The gardens... More

There's a lot of nice things to say about Knysna (not incidently pronounced "nice-na"?) and this B&B! Very nice place, run by the English couple Graham and Joyce. Nice hosts, typically British, very talkative and helpful! Very spacious rooms with nice views ( ask for the 1st floor balcony-ones!). Airco in the room; drinks (beer, wine etc...) and refreshments at... More

Our stay at Candlewood was very nice. Joyce and Graham will make sure you know your options of eatery and sightseeing. Our room was beautifully decorated with a gigantic shower which was absolutely wonderful! They were very helpful and friendly. We had a superb view of "The heads" from our room. We had a fantastic stay.

Our party of 4 stayed in Sea and Sand (balcony rooms) in February 2012. This guest house ranks among the best in which we have stayed. Rooms are spacious with good storage, air-con, big bed, wonderful views over the lagoon, spotlessly clean, and a luxurious feel to the whole place. The outside deck and pool are good, breakfast is very... More

Everything that can be said about Candlewood Lodge has already been said in many of the reviews. It was like staying with your favourite Auntie and Uncle - very homely! The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean and serviced to the same high standard every day. The three upstairs rooms with adjoining balconies suited our party very well....

Chose Candlewood Lodge for our 6 night stay in Knysna in large part because of the positive comments on Tripadvisor so many thanks to those who posted their comments. This is a true 5star B&B with the most fantastic view of the Knysna Lagoon and the Heads. We stayed in the Sand room which was absolutely beautiful with plenty of... More

Our party of 6 enjoyed the 3 balcony rooms with stunning views towards the heads. Graham and Joyce made us most welcome and organised golf for us. They also kept us informed of interesting things to see and do around the area. The rooms were spottlessly clean and the breakfast superb. The staff were immaculate and charming. Thanks for a...

My husband and I stayed 4 nights here and would very highly recommend this B&B. The rooms are lovely with an awesome view, breakfasts are well cooked and fulfilling and the hosts are amazingly wonderful and helpful. It is easy to get to and central for many activities along the Garden Route. You couldn't get better value for the cost.... More
