We enjoyed a lovely eight night stay at the Lazy Lion. Ella & Ricardo are the perfect hosts, very welcoming and friendly as were their staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was large, spotlessly clean and comfortable with a balcony and view over the lagoon. The pool area and gardens were fabulous. The breakfast was exceptional, offering freshly made buffet choices every morning, followed by a cooked option and was by far the best of our travels in SA. We will definitely return again next year and have already recommended it to friends.

Our stay was unforgettable! There is absolutely nothing to complain about! The cottages are large, new, stylishly furnished, absolutely clean and comfortable. There is a sports trampoline, a swimming pool and peacocks walking around on the territory:) The territory is very well maintained. Shannon is a very nice owner, she was always in touch and helped with our questions. When we return to Knysna, we will definitely stay here again!

We had a beautiful stay at this stunning house. Vanessa met us at the gate and showed us around. We got offered a room upgrade and had a few cute cats visiting us in the morning at the terrace. We felt very safe and had the best sleep in the most comfortable bed. There are many restaurant options around for delicious breakfast and dinner that comes with spectacular views.

The service was absolutely excellent and the hosts went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms were serviced every day (even though it was over the New Year's weekend), and we had the most fabulous daily breakfast that I've ever experienced in similar accommodation - especially the freshly baked pastries. The property is set in a lovely leafy area, with a beautiful garden and space to relax and enjoy a BBQ.

De View was the perfect place for us to stay for 3 nights. The location was ideal as it was close to town and many of the attractions we wanted to see. The property itself is clean, neat and very comfortable. The hosts thought of everything one might need. The hosts themselves are amazing! They were ready to help and make our stay comfortable. The breakfast and the view is something to rave about. We could have easily stayed longer.

Good location in town near a mall, restaurants and waterfront. Ideal if you are not staying in Knysna long.. Interesting self booking in procedure. But good instructions given before arrival to do this. Very clean comfortable well equipped apartment. Certainly recommended.
