    Great place to stay in Knysna

    We had a great stay at this hotel in knysna. The location is great both for venturing into the area as well as for enjoying the waterfront in front of the hotel. Overall we had a great experience here.

    Great service and value for the price!

    This hotel is located on the edge of town just off the highway on a quiet location of the lagoon. It is peaceful and the restaurant was great! Breakfast on the patio has a picturesque view of the lagoon!
