“Breathtaking Luxury in Knysna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2011
3
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!

“Lovely and quaint guesthouse with friendly staff”

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.

“Great location and breakfast..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2009

person found this review helpful

The house is certainly in an excellent location looking over Knysna and the Theson Island development. We didn't really "click" with the style and atmosphere and for that reason alone I would not recommend it. Having said that, the staff are delightful and the breakfast was one of the best we had while touring SA. Dinner however was more hotel standard than restaurant. It's just a matter of personal preference and taste I think.

“Fabulous view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2009
2
people found this review helpful

An excellent hotel, on a hill above Knysna. The staff are very efficient, attentive, and helpful. Our room was at the front of the house, enjoying stunning views of the lagoon. Both the bedroom and bathroom were well appointed, and i particularly enjoyed the 'proper' coffee for the cafetiere.
We were lucky enough to be able to sit outside for breakfast , which was excellent, enjoying the lovely patio area.
The swimming pool and gardens were well kept and a beautiful place to soak up some sun.
We ate in the hotel one night, and the food was very good and reasonably priced.

  • Liked — The views of the lagoon
  • Disliked — walk back up the hill
