Spectacular view from your balcony. Excellent breakfast, best omelette I ever had. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable about where to eat and what to see.
Bed was a little hard. Difficult to keep the water temperature right in the shower.

The views are amazing! The location is great and close driving to everything.
The shower was difficult to figure out how to get the hot water. We did figure it out but i can’t even tell you how I did it.

The property was clean and the staff where good, I also like the view
I think the should change the breakfast menu, you can’t have the same thing everyday, that would be exciting..

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The beds were very comfortable. The views are stunning from the common area and some of the rooms
The Pansy shell room has views mostly of other houses and a partial sea view. The neighboring house noise was a little annoying as it was very close. The DSTV did not work, the throw on the bed was tatty and the bathroom was very small (no bath). Other rooms looked stunning.

Absolutely everything. It would be hard to come across a better location overlooking the Knysna Heads
Nothing to dislike.

I loved the beautiful setting, the amazing ocean view, the peaceful atmosphere, and the exceptional service. Everything was clean, comfortable, and made my stay truly special.
Everything was wonderful. If I had to mention something, it would only be that I wished I could have stayed longer!

We absolutely loved our stay. We were in the Elephant room and the views were absolutely spectacular. We loved being able to sleep with our door open to hear the faint sound of the sea coming n the distance. Debbie who managers the lodge made it extra special with her friendliness and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were outstanding. We will definitely go back.

A very nice guest house with fantastic views and a spacious decking and pool. We stayed in the starfish room, the room was nicely furnished and the balcony offering wonderful sea views. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was bonus to have Netflix on the TV. The room came with a small kitchenette with coffee/tea making facilities and a full size fridge, ideal for keeping your drinks cold. The shower room was small and adequate for our two night stay. Debbie was superb, she was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and served a lovely breakfast of fruit, yogurt, granola, toast and hot food accompanied by hot and cold drinks. We enjoyed our stay.
