Top Lage mit 360 Grad Blick von den Heads, super nettes Personal, besonderen Dank an Lana für die Hilfe beim Mietwagentausch wegen Defekt. Super Frühstück was keine Wünsche offen lies, Super Dinner im Schwesternhaus Pearl View mit Meerblick, sehr zu Empfehlen. Sehr geräumige Anlage mit tollen Pool und vielen Terrassen… mindestens 2-3 Nächte einplanen, damit man alles genießen kann.

Princess 👸 treatment at the Castle 🏰

We really loved the location, the views were spectacular and the breakfast was sublime. The Castle is exactly 💯 what it was.... the pool was amazing and the weather played along nicely. Facilities also well maintained. Lara and her team were polite, friendly and professional, which we appreciated. Definitely will return and would recommend 👌

The fact that there was no access control and no security on duty... more lights outside especially at night would be helpful. And there were builders on a property that is being built opposite the pool area...

Für 2 Tage perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für die Umgebung. Ruhe am Abend.

Die Lage und der Ausblick vom Berg sind großartig. Man benötigt natürlich ein Auto. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und das Personal sehr hilfsbereit. Immer wieder.

Unterkunft mit ❤️

Schöne großzügige Zimmer mit herrlichen Ausblick. Einen besonderen Dank an Lana, sie hat uns jeden Tag mit Liebe ein herrliches Frühstück zubereitet. Lana ist ein ganz herzlicher Mensch den man einfach gern haben muss. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Leider hat es der Wettergott nicht so gut mit uns gemeint. Dafür kann aber niemand etwas.

How do I gatekeep this gem of a place?

What an amazing location. The most beautiful spot in Knysna. You have beautiful views of the ocean and the lagoon. Breakfast was included and on site and was absolutely delicious. While having breakfast and overlooking the lagoon we planned our day with the help of Lana, the most wonderful and gracious host - before we knew it she assisted us with making a booking on the most amazing catamaran experience which goes through the entry way between the heads. I am in two minds about giving feedback on the room because I would love nothing more than to gatekeep it forever but omg! You must book the deluxe executive room the one that overlooks the entry point where ocean meets lagoon it is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much to Lana and the ladies for making our stay so memorable! We will definitely be back! We miss you all like you are family! Special shootout to "liefie" the doggo who was the hostest with the mostest for sure!

Love everything but the WiFi just wasn't reaching our room. But no one goes to knysna to stay in the room so it did not bother us at all so we didn't even feel the need to alert the host. Who I'm sure would have jumped to help.

Schönster Aufenthalt an der Gardenroute

-Fantastischer Blick vom Hügel auf das Meer und die Lagune. - Die Einrichtung ein Traum. - Sonnenaufgang - Das Personal war so freundlich und sehr fürsorglich. Die Managerin mit ihrer herzlicher und ansteckender Art ist sehr darum bemüht, dem Gast mit Ausflugsideen zu helfen. - Das Frühstück wird so liebevoll hergerichtet und serviert. - Ein must to go wenn man in Knysa ist. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis einfach nur top!!

Tolles Zimmer mit tollem Ausblick von den Heads.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Blick von den Heads in Knysna. Tolles großes Zimmer und Badezimmer. Abends kann man auf der Terrasse einen tollen Sonnenuntergang genießen. Auch das Frühstück morgens war mit Frech Toast und Joghurt sehr gut.

Fabulous

Lana was an amazing host and extremely helpful with recommending activities in the area. The place was clean and had gorgeous views. Lana and the staff also offer a scrumptious breakfast at the Castle every day. They also went the extra mile for my partner’s birthday and made him feel extremely special.

Nothing. Everything was amazing.

„Paradies“ auf Erden

Gastfreundschaft und Liebenswürdiigkeit, insbesondere Lana hat uns sehr freundlich betreut. Traumhafte Lage! Wunderbare Ausblicke auf den Indischen Ozean, auf Knysna mit Flussmündung und Hafeneinfahrt. Grosszügige Zimmer und viel Platz in verschiedenen Wohnräumen und auf den Terrassen…Garten mit Pool, der zum Schwimmen einlädt. Ein echtes „Zuhause“ in den Ferien… Ein kleines Paradies an der „Garden Route“!

Picturesque views of the Indian ocean, heads AND the Lagoon. Spacious room to unwind and decompress.

1.) The beat view in Knysna 2.) Spacious 3.) Friendly staff

1.) You can’t sleep in as their is not block out nor curtains in the front. 2.) Would be better if one could order breakfast lunch and super there 3.) coffee making facility does not reach the plug It’s a bit inconvenient 4.) the possibility to have outside furniture 5.) Root section outside the room is a bit unsightly (crusher run or similar would make it much better)

Good

Stunning location with breathtaking views of the ocean and Knysna Heads. Comfortable room and Bathroom.

I found it strange that you have to go to another Guesthouse around the corner to have your breakfast. Needless to say there is no catering on the premises and having a snack with a bottle of wine would have been nice to take it the views.

Everything. Castle on the Heads together with Pearl View Guest House made my birthday memorable. When I arrived they had a surprise birthday cake for me which was very thoughtful of them. And on my birthday during breakfast they also had a slice of cake my goodness I was just amazed and excited. I am definitely coming back in December with my kids this time
