Our stay could I have be ruined because of a car accident but Mariet welcomed us warmly with her nice smile and did her very best to make us feel relaxed. She made sure we will enjoy our stay and forget about our bad experience.
The lodge is itself a very nice place to stay, near the lagoon, with confortable rooms. Again Thanks Mariet ! You are a true Angel.

We enjoyed a truly wonderful stay at Amanzi. The location is one of the best in Knysna and the Kingfisher suite we stayed in was luxurious and spacious offering incredible views over the Knysna Lagoon and Knysna Heads.
The breakfast was included in our rate and we really enjoyed the menu variety and high quality on offer.
On the one evening, we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant and we were similarly impressed with the varied menu and delicious meals. My fillet steak and my partners lamb shank were both exceptional. You also simply just have to try the baked yoghurt and berry sauce dessert - sublime!
The highlight for us was the incredible staff at Amanzi. From checkin to garden staff - all consistently good with friendly and helpful dispositions. Special mention to Fortune and Miriam who were particularly outstanding.
The hotel also has a very comfortable minivan that transfers guests, whether it is to do some sightseeing at the Heads or an airport transfer. The rates are very reasonable and we enjoyed using this service on one occasion.
We look forward to returning to Amanzi on a future trip.

The main pool is in the backyard! Infinity pool they show on webpage and display is for a private suite only! Don’t get fooled by the picture !

Hotel standard, nem muito mais, nem muito menos. Poderiam priorizar um pouco mais a limpeza, já que tem carpetes.

Wow, the view at this property was stunning! We stayed in the honeymoon suite which had our very own pool! But best of all was the view! We were also ecstatic with the amazing hospitality. We were surprised with a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries which were a very nice touch. The property has bikes you can take at your leisure as well as paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy! We wished we stayed a few days instead of one night. But we will definitely be back and bring some friends!

Superb in every way
2.5 / 5.0
This hotel is amazing!! A beautiful view of the Knysna heads was available in our room (Coral Suite). Leisure Isle in general was very peaceful and great for running, walking, and biking. The Amanzi staff was great and gave us great recommendations for what to do in Knysna. The hotel also had free bikes and kayaks for use (a facility we took full advantage of). Breakfast was nice and had many options available from a buffet to cooked breakfast. The room was spacious, the king sized bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was well appointed. The only criticism we have for Amanzi is that the WiFi was a WEP encrypted connection (not as secure as WPA2, etc.) and would drop out intermittently. All in all, an almost perfect relaxing vacation spot.

Staff in particular Saviour could do enough to help a lonely traveller. A great caring feel from the staff. Next time i will stay longer
2.5 / 5.0
This is a fantastic place to stay. Excellent staff, very stylish property and delicious breakfast. Great views and fairly priced. Rooms include helpful amenities and staff are very attentive. My only negatives were the small bed and the fact that we were mislead about the pool. The property markets itself with both pools - see it’s lead picture for example, which shows the front facing infinity pool. Only when you arrive are you told that this pool is reserved for one room only, so this is unfair. As a matter of good faith Amanzi owes it to customers to amend their advertising or let all guests use both pools. We would happily stay here again no question.

Cannot be faulted, our room had a perfect view of the lagoon, the staff were welcoming upon arrival and were constantly attentive, from breakfast to the evening. The rooms are excellent and the whole building feels comfortable and beautifully designed. The area of Knysna lagoon is almost too perfect tpo be real and there are excellent restaurants in nearby Knysna and the hotel provides a shuttle service at a nominal rate for those who would rather not drive. We shall go there again, undoubtedly.
