Tolles familienfreundliches Hotel in gemütlicher Lage in Knysna
Pros:

Ausgezeichnetes Hotel in Knysna mit super-gastfreundlichem Personal und großen sehr schön eingerichteten Appartements. Das Hotel liegt in ruhiger, idyllischer Lage direkt am Wasser nur wenige Fahrminuten von der Innenstadt, Thesen`s Island und Leisure Island entfernt. Der Service ist großartig. Das Hotel ist sehr kinder- und familienfreundlich, hat verschiedenste Angebote für Familien und insbesondere auch einen Kids Club, in dem Kinder betreut werden können, ebenfalls auch noch einen großen Spielplatz im Grünen. Die hauseigene Pizzeria ist super. Das Frühstück ebenfalls sehr gut und reichhaltig. Zudem zwei schöne Outdoor-Pools. Viele Aktivitäten (Bootstouren, Spa etc.) möglich, auch eigenen Tennisplatz! An manchen Stellen etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber insgesamt ein echter Geheimtipp für die Erkundung der Gegend um Knysna, vor allem für Familien und Sportinteressierte. Danke! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

My stay was not pleasant at all, I did not get value for money at all
Pros:

Location was good,
Restaurant: I did not eat at the restaurant, I just had drinks but I could not get many options as they do not offer many non-alcoholic beverages.
Stuff is really friendly and professional.

Cons:

The room really smelled bad! almost like it had been closed for a while without being opened or cleaned. the carpet is really old in the bedroom. I was sneezing the whole time.
The TV's are very old and there aren't channels to watch.
The was no wifi, and the hotel said there's nothing they can do for the full 5 days I stayed.

Wouldn’t book again
Pros:

The staff were friendly

Cons:

Photos were really deceptive. Hotel was very outdated, its noisy and the room smelled of sewerage as soon as we walked in. Really disappointed as we chose to spend new years here and did not get what we paid for at all.

Pros:

Everything. The hotel rooms are spacious, there are options for food and drink, plus they even have sports facilities for football, basketball, and tennis.

Cons:

I think only the bathroom ventilation fans are noisy, and there is no washing machine for each room.
