Relaxing Stay

The Pros: 1) Check-in was seamless. 2) The room allocated to us was wonderful. 3) The views were breathtaking – could watch those waves crashing all day. 4) Breakfast was good. 5) Staff were friendly and helpful.

The Cons: 1) The property is actually a guesthouse and NOT a hotel. This needs to be amended on Booking.com on filters. 2) Despite being allocated a wonderful room, it was on the same floor as the main area and hence not private. 3) There was no option for chicken sausage on the breakfast menu – only beef or pork. 4) Bring your own pillows if you require firmer ones.

Dissapointing

The location was beautiful, the views were spectacular.

We were not offered the room we had booked, we waited 30 minutes before being checked in and not even offered water to drink. The room was not thoroughly cleaned, found a few hair strands on the bed. The place did not smell fresh. The staff were indifferent they did not pay attention to detail. The place has great potential.

Schimmlig und abgenutzt

Die Lage war okay, ansonsten kann ich leider nichts positiv hervorheben.

Ich kann der Kritik der vorherigen Rezensionen nur zustimmen. Die Zimmer waren feucht (großer Schimmelfleck an der Decke, klamme Kleidung, beschlagene Fenster,…). Der Zustand des Zimmers war abgenutzt und total ungemütlich. Das Frühstück war nicht gut, Obst oder warme Speisen erhielt man nur nach mehrfachen Nachfragen (beispielsweise wurde Käse und Wurst auf den Tisch gestellt, ohne jegliches Brot oder Toast dazu. Auch wurde nicht gefragt, ob man irgendwas nicht möchte. Es wurde einfach hingestellt - da man allerdings nicht alles isst, ist es entweder nicht nachhaltig oder nicht hygienisch). Den Pool wollten wir nicht nutzen, da dieser total grün und das Wasser trüb war. Hier stimmt nicht nur das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis leider überhaupt nicht, sondern vermiest durch heruntergekommene/ungemütliche/feuchte Zimmer, schlechtes Essen, schlechter Service und unfreundliche Küchenmitarbeiter den Aufenthalt in Knysna! Hinzukommte, dass die Bewertung der Unterkunft durch auffällig viele 10/10-Bewertungen von südafrikanischen Gästen (Fake?) zustande kommt. Wenn man nur die deutschen/europäischen Bewertungen berücksichtigen würde, hätte die Unterkunft wohl eher eine gefühlte 6/10. Leider haben wir vor der Buchung nicht gründlich genug die Bewertungen gecheckt! Einmal und nie wieder!!!

The overall stay was lovely, relaxing and enjoyable.

The scenery, the location, and the accommodation was exceptional. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful

Having an automated generator would help. The one day we were there the weather was cold and gloomy, I wanted to take a shower, but because we were load-shedding, and the generator was off, the water was cold. I had to wait for the generator to kick in before I could have a shower. That was a downer for me

Currently absolutely overpriced, with changes potential for a luxus accomodation.

The location on the Knysa heads was fantastic, the building from the architecture special, friendly staff and nice breakfast.

There were many things, that were a NO GO for such a luxurious accomodation in this price-range. - so dirty windows The highlight on the accomodation is the view. Unfortunately they were so dirty, especially in the room with the bathtube, that we couldnt enjoy it. - many dust in the room for example both lamps on the bedside tables - dirty tea-light glasses - long hairs in the bathtube - a used milk in the roomfridge - There must be a defect on the bathtub plug because the water comes out automatically. That means you can't take a bath without refilling the water - NO lights in the house if there is loadshedding (no electricity in South Africa). We came back at 10 p.m. from Dinner and to get to the room, you have to go through the house. This was completely dark. You need lights for that. - Of course we have currently daily loadshedding in South Africa. BUT a luxus accomodation like this should have an solution to offer electricity the whole time, like for example with a generator or solar panels. There are much cheaper accomadation on the market which soluted the topic for the guest. -With no electricity is also the topic that you don't have warm water, so can't have a shower or use the beautiful bathtube. -> If you can not offer electricity the whole time your staff have to inform the guest, that they now, that they have to plan, when they can have a shower after a daytour. I travelled a lot, these are all points that can be improved. I hope you can change it, because this place has potential. P.S If would be a nice touch to have winglasses direct in the room.

Enjoyable.

Amazing view. Friendly helpful staff.

They did not have any ice and their bar stock on e.g. tonic was very limited, which when one has this making view, one might want to enjoy just a G&T and not a whole bottle of wine.

The crew was amazing! Everyone is so lovely! The view from the room was outstanding! Loved the design of the guesthouse! And the breakfast was amazing! Also the cappuccino was great (and we are coffee lovers, not easy to impress ;) )

A little bit waver-thin. But thats all :)

A wonderful and scenic stay

Beautiful accommodation overlooking the Knysna Heads. The room was well designed and spacious, and the staff were always very helpful. Breakfast was also made to order and was so delicious. Could not have asked for more from our stay!

The accommodation is located up on a hill. We had a little trouble finding it initially, but this was not a major issue. A sign outside the front door could be helpful.
