“Marvelous stay, top quality !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

On arrival we were greeted with a non-alcoholic fruit cocktail.
Our tour company booked our group into separate lodges in the lovely garden.
When opening the door to our private lodge we realised that we did not stay in a lodge but in a large and beautiful fully equipped house, including living room with fireplace, complete large kitchen (seating for 6 people), a two person bathroom with en-suite bathroom and this was only the ground floor. Going up the stairs we could not believe what we saw...again a bedroom (single) and a huge master bedroom with large bathroom, separate bath and shower and on the front side as well on the backside of the house a large balcony with loungers ! UNBELIEVABLE...and this just for the two of us ! All our other tour members received the same type of house.
We had the feeling that we had our "own property" in Knysna, unfortunately only for three days.
Diners at this place kept up to the high standards and we had tremendously taste diners here !
This accommodation was a marvelous experience during our tour.
Only one smaller remark to the management...when people (have to) call reception to have a drink from "the minibar" please don't bring the drink already poured into a glass (one glass for two !!!) but use the known small bottles.

“This was a cottage not a room”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We travelled with friends and booked what we thought were 2 rooms, turned out it was 2 cottages. We had a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom cottage and our friends got a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom cottage! There was a well equiped kithen (with a jug of milk in the fridge for our use) and a log fire all set and ready to use - yes, we used it! The grounds were lovely and the view out over the bay was beautiful. We were there in spring and the main house was not serving evening meals but there is a small pub in the grounds (a 2 minute walk from our cottage) which served super bar meals at very reasonable prices. The breakfast was lovely, served on the porch of the manor house as it was a lovely sunny morning. Only complaint is that we had only one night here and would have liked to have stayed longer

Room Tip: If there are 4 of you travelling together you would only need 1 cottage to share.

“What a wonderful place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

In the words of Geoff "Wonderful. SuperDuper. Excellent !!!"

Geoff runs around all day, with the biggest brightest smile you have ever seen. I have never seen anyone so happy to be serving people. He makes you feel like royalty.

We made a pretty last minute booking, so weren't even sure what kind of accommodation we'd be getting, but upon arrival, were blown away by the comfort of the cottage. 2 large bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms. A lounge, dining room, kitchen and large deck.

The perfect place to lie back and recover.

My only regret is that we weren't there for longer.

Room Tip: We stayed in a Garden Cottage. No view of the lagoon, but the pool was about 30 seconds walk away, a...
