We had a fabulous stay and were made very welcome. Colleen gave us great restaurant recommendations and kindly made reservations too. All of the restaurants were excellent.
Our room was very comfortable with excellent views. The lounge area was great for evening card games with friends.
Cecil makes a really tasty breakfast, the eggs were super!! Thanks Cecil 😀

We had such a lovely stay at Hide Away Guest House Knysna. We felt such a warm welcome on our arrival there. Stunning room and oh that view of the lagoon is just breathtaking. And on top of all, delicious breakfast served every morning. We definitely recommend them to each and everyone x

Colleen and Cecil were always available, friendly and helpful with tips about restaurants and site-seeing. The house was built in 1940 and is opposite the Knysna lagoon, just next to the N2 Highway on the way into/out of town. The house was classily decorated but the room had air conditioning, electric blankets, espresso machine, outdoor sitting area on the veranda and views of the heads. Breakfast was nice with plunger coffee, cheeses, eggs, muesli, fruit and juice. A lovely couple interested in current events and filling us in on their part of the world.

I thought that the property was more secluded rather than being a short distance from the main road. The room was very pleasant as was our hostess. The area was very nice and easy walking distance from the tourist areas.
As a general comment on the garden route I would not recommend it and am surprised that it is so highly reviewed. I was very disappointed.

Thank you Coleen & Cecil for 2 great nights at your establishment. We were booked for 1 night but ended up back for a second night (what happened in Knysna stays in Knysna - lol). We were greeted by Coleen with wine, tea or coffee upon our arrival.
Our rooms were very spacious, clean, tidy and more than expected. Breakfast was a variety and treat prepared by Cecil and served by Coleen. The view from the balcony was beautiful.
There were some beautiful one of a kind furniture pieces in the home.
Coleen was a wealth of knowledge and very helpful assisting with our plans.
We would definitely visit again and also recommend this location.
Thanks Coleen, Cecil and staff.

A lovely stay in a comfortable, quiet guesthouse owned and run by a wonderfully hospitable couple, Cecil and Colleen. Thank you, I felt as if I was staying with family. A few minutes walk away from the centre of Knysna, the Hide Away Guest House sits in beautifully tended gardens far enough from the road with good views of the lagoon. My room was comfortable, spacious and perfect for my stopover

Characterised by touches you'd normally only expect to find at a top class hotel - cool face towels and tea/coffee on arrival, bathrobes and slippers, and quality toiletries. Hostess was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Although located close to a very busy main road, noise intrusion was minimal.
