Blue Fern of Knysna (B&B) - Garden view (room 3)
Lovely and cozy. The bed was comfortable and the linen luxurious. Very clean and welcoming with a delicious breakfast. Will definitely stay again.

Honeymoon Luxury Room at the Lodge
We recently stayed at Cherry's guest house/lodge, which is a nicely maintained property with a clean and well-equipped common kitchen. However, our experience was marred by a booking mix-up. Despite having paid for two rooms for the night, we were only allocated one. We presented our receipt as proof, but unfortunately, the issue wasn't resolved, and our request for a refund for the second room was declined. We're still unsure whether the error was on Airbnb's side or Cherry's, but we wanted to caution future guests to double-check their bookings to avoid similar issues. While Cherry's property has its strengths, we hope that she will take steps to prevent such misunderstandings and ensure a smoother experience for her guests.

Fynbos Ridge Country House
A really lovely, peaceful place, run by warm and helpful people who genuinely care about the experience they offer their guests. We were very well taken care of during our stay - thank you!

Garden Cottage 2 - Family friendly
A tranquil place of rest in the hills of Hoekwil

Lavender Lane Cottage George (Solar panels)
Very nice apartment with everything you could need. Spacious, clean, strong WiFi, friendly hosts. Welcoming snacks were happily accepted after an international flight’s fatigue. Liked the kingsized bed a lot, and being able to take a long bath after a stretched out day. Really good stay, highly recommended.

Hakuna Mtata (2), Garden Route area
Lovely bachelor type accommodation. Has everything you need. Beautiful setting and a quick drive into the village. The caretaker was pleasant and helpful.

Allan Grove (self catering accommodation)
Brian was an awesome host, very friendly and quick to respond to any questions before arrival. Spacious, clean, everything you need when away from home. Most definitely worth it, will recomend this beautiful place.

Strelitzia Suite: In Toto Retreat - Garden Route
I spent a single night at In Toto Retreat and left wishing I’d lingered longer. Check‑in was seamless and Roland’s welcome set a relaxed tone. My suite was spotless and well equipped with TV, Wi‑Fi and kitchen. I had access to all their kayaks and bicycles. I had a tasty generous cooked‑to‑order breakfast before I left the next morning and would definitely recommend In Toto to anyone.

Bamboo (Mountain View)
Neat , well equipped accommodation. Staircase, but we had no trouble carrying luggage. Undercover parking a bonus. We did not spent a lot of time at the accommodation. Appreciate the coffee/tea station.

Lake Paddocks, cozy cottage on a small holding.
I had the pleasure of calling this place home for about a month of December-January. The cottage is a part of the original stables and I loved being right next door to the paddock where two foals had been born the same week I arrived. Chickens having dustbaths, friendly dogs, horses all add to the farm ambience which is my happy place. The farm itself is situated right on the border of the national park and so the nature is pristine. I loved the setting and the location within Wilderness. it was a quiet reprieve from the central village which was jam packed with tourists, but still only a short drive to the beach and restaurants. The place itself is a stable converted into a flatlet. The kitchen and small lounge area are well equipped, clean a have plenty of sunlight streaming in. The separate bedroom is a smallish space with a double bed and was all I needed to be comfortable. The hosts are lovely people and I felt like a part of the family from day one.

Tranquillity Guest Cottage on Farm
Amazing stay with Cheryl and Paul. They were so friendly and inviting - they came out to greet us personally on arrival and went above and beyond with extra little touches of hospitality. We will definately be back for another visit when we are in the area. Only thing to note is the dirt road, although in great condition and very smooth (like a highway in our 4x4), may not be enjoyed as much by some people in small or low cars.

Fynbos Garden Cottage
We had an amazing stay! The holiday home is set in a beautiful, peaceful location surrounded by nature, providing the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The decor was lovely, and the space was well-maintained and inviting. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and friendly, ensuring we felt welcome throughout our stay. The property is ideally situated—far enough from town to enjoy tranquility, yet close enough to beaches, shops, and other attractions for convenience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and will definitely recommend it to others. Looking forward to visiting again in the future!

The Art Studio
Faith has created a really unique and inspiring place. Lots to stimulate the senses and fuel the imagination.

Moonriver Cottage, Prime Lagoon Views & SolarPower
It was a lovely stay at Aneryne's cottage. We loved the view from the terrace, the vibrant wildlife around us and really enjoyed all the amenities this little gem had to offer. Aneryne and her little darlings were wonderful hosts - super friendly, fun and very helpful with tips about the area. We will definitely come back if we are in the Knysna area again and would highly recommend a stay.

2 bedroom, 2 bathroom upstairs cottage with pool.
Fantastic stay! The apartment was a bit compact for four people, but it was perfectly located close to all the key attractions in Knysna. The kitchen was very well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals during our stay. What truly made our experience special were the hosts – they were incredibly kind, helpful, and provided us with amazing tips to make the most of our visit. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-situated place with outstanding hospitality!

Private room in quiet area 500m from golf course
Very clean and in a very nice area with the best coffee shop just next door.

Mi Amor Myoli Beach - Unit 2
The location is incredibly tranquil and surrounded by stunning nature. I especially enjoyed the peaceful walks along the beautiful beach and watching the breathtaking sunsets. The house has a lovely stoep facing the ocean, perfect for enjoying sundowners and soaking in the soothing sounds of the waves.

Best Views in Knysna that brings family together
I absolutely loved the time at this beautiful accommodation. The wood fired hot tub was amazing!!!! This is an excellent pace to be in nature and reconnect with yourself and or have a romantic place and space with partner. DEFINATELY WILL BE RETURNING!! THANK YOU!

The Shed: Experience Leisure Island
We had the most incredible stay! The place is absolutely beautiful — modern, stylish, and so welcoming. The surrounding area is peaceful and lovely, perfect for a relaxing getaway. What really made it stand out were the thoughtful touches and unique amenities, like the bicycles and canoes, which made our stay feel extra special. We were greeted so warmly, and the host went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their hospitality was truly exceptional. I would 1000% return and highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable stay!

Victoria Heights B&B: Private bedrooms & breakfast
Beautiful place with all the amenities one could ask for. Breakfast was included and it was lovely. Would recommend this place!

The Garden Route's Regency Room at Edenwood

Lux Garden Cottage Beach Aloes @ Brenton on Sea
Our stay with Sonet was fantastic, our 5 border collies were accommodated due to the fenced garden in front. This was one of our main criteria. Thank you. The space was modern, well equipped and functional. Was great that the property had solar power backup should lead shedding have come our way. Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and air fryer, microwave oven. Close to the beach although during our time there the walk way was under repair due to flood damage (municipal responsibility). Loved our stay and especially the peace and quiet and closeness to beach. Felt right at home. Great hosts will return

Mi Amor Myoli Beach - Unit 1
Mi Amor is such a beautiful space with these gorgeous glass walls that open fully onto the garden. So much wonderful attention to detail. We felt right at home! Loved cooking there also. Everything was spotlessly clean and Russel our host was a superstar. Being able to stroll directly onto the stunning beach was a real privilege! Highly recommended.
