An enjoyable stay
Pros:

Excellent staff, beautiful gardens, large room, comfy bed, good in room facilities, good breakfast and reasonable restaurant for dinner

Cons:

Room 38 smelt very musty and had a dehumidifier in the room which didn't seem to be very effective. I suspect the rooms proximity to the pond/hollow may be a contributing factor.

Second time in Knysna made sure I’ll have a 3rd!
Pros:

Facilities and service are top notch! It also has stunning views and perfect ambience overall.

Cons:

Though the breakfast is great the actual dining and menu options are not the best in Knysna has to offer. They can improve on reducing the portions so as to prioritise quality over quantity
