“A wonderful time at the Graywood Hotel Knysna”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2011

The rooms were clean and offered more than I expected for a 3 star hotel. Situated close to the Lagoon and Knysna Waterfront. The service from checking in to checking out was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great. I will definitely return when in Knysna again. As an inbound tour operator in Cape Town, I will definitely promote this hotel to my foreign and local guests. Real value for money. I received 5 star treatment from the moment I entered the reception area and it continued throughout my stay at the hotel.

Room Tip: All rooms surround the swimming pool area.

“Good accommodation, front desk and town.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2011

The hotel staff were very friendly, from the bar to the front desk. Breakfast was grand. We did not eat dinner in the hotel but rather at the nearby waterfront with a fine selection of seafood restaurants. Good shopping in Knysna. The John Benn cruise on the Lagoon is a nice break.

Room Tip: Rooms away from the street are more quiet.

“Suited our needs”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

Stayed at the Graywood for one night as a stop-over for our Garden Route drive. We stayed in an upstairs room which I found spacious (bigger than what we stayed in at Cape Town) and bathroom large. No issues with noise at night or early morning. Breakfast was the usual buffet with to order hot breakfast.

We had dinner at The Anchorage (walking distance from the Graywood). The seafood platter for one was divine.

“Quite nice for a night”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2010

We stayed at Graywood on our Garden route tour in SA. It was a one night stay and it was okay. we found the room was small and since it was on the ground floor, it had no view no window to the outside. There was always some noise and disturbance. A big group of people arrived at the hotel late that evening and they created quite a din.
Otherwise the hotel is fine, breakfast & service was okay.
Location is very convenient with the waterfront at walking distance and lot of interesting places round the corner. Anyway the place is fine for one night.
