We spent the weekend here for the Knysna Forest Marathon. The accommodation was perfectly located for the race pack collection and finish of the race

Switched to a larger room on arrival which had good views. Good location for nearby harbour restaurants and excellent breakfast.
Bathroom could be a little more modern.

The lodge is nestled in very well maintained gardens, filled with flowers and nice trees. Most rooms come with a balcony which is perfect to relax. The owners were very welcoming and a fascinating couple. The pool, although small, is perfect to wind down after a hiking day. The breakfast was very good and served on a beautiful deck, outside where we could hear birds. A very nice stay in a clean, welcoming and comfortable lodge, very close to town.
One minor improvement is to provide an iron as none was available when we requested one. Although the owner said they usually have an ironing service, I think an iron should be made available at anytime, for guest's use. No one likes a creased shirt.

Friendly hosts
We were not aware that there was no back up power during load shedding (which we had the whole evening as well as the next morning). The house is more dated than what the pictures showed, with the narrowest staircase, making it challenging to get the luggage upstairs. Breakfast was from 8-9 am, which was too late for us as we had to travel the next day, we had to leave without as much as a cup of coffee.

Rooms where big enough and neat, the yard it's so nice and beautiful
There was no iron in the room and not allowed to iron on there, no microwave

Location is superb and serving breakfast on the patio overlooking the pretty garden very special. Parking convenient and secure.
Group's rooms not allocated despite rooming list which was sent through ahead of time. Some room kettles very old which should be an easy and cheap fix?

We had 3 bookings. Ernest runs his guest house meticulously and is an exceptionally attentive host. Delicious breakfasts are served by him personally either in the beautifully appointed dining room or on the verandah overlooking lush and manicured gardens. We'd love to return for future stays.

We absolutely loved the atmosphere at Yellowwood Lodge. The interior of the old cottage was beautiful and sitting on the front porch was so relaxing and peaceful! The location was perfect - walking distance from Knysna's main street and shops and it was an amazing setting! Our host, Ernest was extremely helpful and accommodated us in every way possible! The service was excellent and the breakfast delicious!
