We are travelling in South Africa for a month with our 5 year old son. We stayed in Amber Guest Lodge for 3 nights in the family suite. We really enjoyed our stay! The suite is very nice, clean and comfortable. Breakfast is great with freshly prepared food that you can choose. The location of the lodge is great as well, close to the quays and the main attractions in the area. Francelle and Renee are nice hosts! We definitely recommend to stay here!

We loved our stay at amber guest house - the rooms were clean an nice, the owners were very friendly and helped us to find the right activities in the area. The house is situated very good and is was silent in the night. We liked to sit outside for a sundowner. It is safe over there and Knysna is a beautiful place! We would stay there again!

We unfortunately could only spend one night there. The view was amazing! We unfortunately didn’t make it to the sunset but even 1 hour later it looked breathtaking. The hosts were so kind an friendly. The room was clean and big! The breakfast was just awesome!!! You can get fresh made eggs and bacon... Thank you again for having us.

Friendly host and everything top quality. Everything had been thought of for a comfortable stay. Although the guest house is a little bit out of town, it didn't matter because we had a car - and it meant it was quiet and we got a good night's sleep. Plus it's near the Heads and other good restaurants so it was not an inconvenience. Nice views from the terrace of the lagoon. If we visit Knysna again we will definitely stay at the Amber Guest Lodge.

We stayed in a beautiful room with view on the lagoon. The lodge was close to the heads, in a calm and safe area. Our last visits were in places in steep streets, which was not the case here. Our hosts were very gentle and prepared a very nice breakfast with the most beautiful fruitsalad ever! Even with arrival on the 31st of December, they gave us golden hints for dinner in town. We very much enjoyed our stay

We only stopped over for one night, and Amber Guest House was perfect for our purposes. The rooms are big and the beds comfortable and we had good sleep. Excellent breakfast served next to the swimming pool was a big plus.
