“Incredibly luxurious Guest House, with breathtaking views..........”

What a place. I have just returned from a holiday of a lifetime in South Africa. Falcon View Manor in Knysna was voted our favourite place, and we stayed in a few lovely places. The service was perfect, helpful but not invasive. The breakfast was the best I have ever had. We stayed in for dinner one night and that was lovely too. The gardens are delightful and a very peaceful place for a walk round. We were very lucky to see the most stunning sunsets from their verandah each evening, overlooking the estuary.

“Beautiful small hotel with every luxury you could wish for”

We were delighted with Falcons View - one of the best of many excellent venues that we stayed in on the Garden Route. We had one of the garden rooms with views across the well-kept Falcons View garden, there were even monkeys in the trees! Breakfasts were excellent as was the restaurant in the evening; the room was spacious and we wanted for nothing and the staff and owner were utterly charming, professional and helpful.

This is a really special historic house turned into a wonderful guesthouse. I still get goose bumps thinking about it because it oozes charm! Staff are amazing! They really give you luxury treatment. Breakfast and dinner are delicious and the rooms are uniquely beautiful as is the garden. I am certain that there is no better place to stay in Knysna!

“Breathtaking Luxury in Knysna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2011

people found this review helpful

When we arrived at Falcons View we fell in love with it...the staff were so welcoming and made us feel at ease straight away, the room was bright, light and cool and a welcome beer on the Verandah overlooking Knysna was just what we needed after the 5 hour drive from Cape Town.
Dinners at the hotel are STUNNING and we regret not doing it every night...breakfasts were varied and just what you need to start the day off....

Staff were super friendly and so helpful nothing was too much trouble....and we loved meeting Bonnie... :-)

If you are going to Knysna, you have to stay at Falcons View Manor, or you really are missing out on a gem!

We stayed 4 nights at Falcons View and had a very relaxing time. It's a lovely little guesthouse with very nice comfortable rooms, helpful staff, great breakfasts, outstanding views over Knysna and a cosy lounge area. A great place from which to explore the Garden Route.
