Gute Lage aber sonst nichts!
Pros:

Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber. Das Bett ist groß und komfortabel. Der Blick vom Pool ist grandios.

Cons:

Ich kann die begeisterten Bewertungen überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen. Die komplette Anlage ist völlig abgewohnt. Das Frühstück eine einzige Katastrophe. Die Hash Browns und Rinderwürste waren ungenießbar. Es sind kaum Gäste vorhanden. Das Personal ist völlig überfordert. Das Hotel ist im gleichen Zustand wie das alte Auto das am Pool steht…
Im Zimmer riecht es penetrant nach Raumspray.

Pros:

Welcoming, nice location with lovely views over Knysna. Nice pool and terrace, en suite room fine.

Cons:

Restaurant menu was limited, perhaps the reason it was quiet? Minor issue no corkscrew/bottle opener in room despite there being a fridge for you to bring own drinks.

Issaquena Heights is worth it
Pros:

I liked our room, it was very comfortable, the breakfast was great, the service at all levels was very good. I swam laps in the pool before breakfast, this is for me the best of the best. We had room 13, room 12 and 17 are the primo rooms, they have a view and balcony, I suggest you try and get those rooms, rooms 1- 2 -3 have great views also.

Cons:

The only down side was the cricket in our room. We had to crank up the ac to get him to shut up.
