We received a friendly, warm welcome from Graham. He gave very helpful advice on Knysna and the facilities of the Lodge. The bedroom was beautifully furnished and very comfortable, with a wonderful view of Knysna lagoon. Breakfast was delicious!

Very friendly and welcoming. Great views of the lagoon and perfect location. Good knowledge of surrounding area with tips of what to see and do in Knysna. Graham and Joyce made us feel like we had a family away from home. Highly recommended and would stay again

Large and spacious room well decorated with great attention to detail. Lovely garden and Graham and Joyce are the perfect hosts. If you're looking for somewhere to... More
