Quiet and peaceful spot with a comfy bed and great breakfast!
Pros:

Clean, good facilities, quiet. Breakfast options were fantastic

Cons:

The hot water system - it wastes a lot of water before it gets hot and doesn’t get hot enough. Using the bath would have been lovely but the water never got hot enough. All that was missing was a proper hot shower and bath.

Service in the evening was a bit slow when we ordered dessert but their was a function on so that may have been the problem .

Stunning Views & Incredible Hospitality
Pros:

The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special — we even decided to stay an extra night. The views were absolutely stunning, situated high on the hill overlooking beautiful Knysna. We were also treated to one of the best braais we’ve ever had! Highly recommended.

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.
