Knysna Log-Inn Hotel ★★★★
"The Team where extremely efficient, helpful and professional. The Conference facility offered natural light with a deck leading off the venue which made breaktime very pleasant."
The Lofts Boutique Hotel ★★★★
"Had the most amazing time with my daughters (both under 10), they were spoilt by the staff and we had a wonderful time. The amenities were stunning, from the lagoon views to the chess board and the food at the Nest is delicious. Will definitely recommend."
The Russel Hotel ★★★
"The room was quite spacious for three adults. It had one large double bed and two single beds. The bathroom was very large. Breakfast was à la carte. The location was excellent, close to the town center."
Brenton on Sea Cottages ★★★★
"Brenton on Sea Cottages are beautifully maintained; everything was so neat and clean. I have never visited a holiday resort/cottage where the gardens were so neatly maintained. The personnel were very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely time."
Protea Hotel Knysna Quays ★★★★
"Amazing stay in Protea Knysna. Very good location on the waterfront. Easy access to food and the waterfront shops! Very safe and hotel is clean and good! Would recommend"
Hide-Away Guest House ★★★★
"Lovely host! Great to be given so much of her time and knowledge-made the stay so much better than a faceless hotel where we just get checked in. This is after all a guesthouse and not the Four Seasons! Meant too, that we did not wasted our limited time in the area because what we did was quality. We enjoyed a large room right by the pool with a splendid view. Good toiletries and nice robes! Breakfast a good balance between healthy and holiday treats if you succumb! Although we never had time to use it, the honesty bar and snacks is a great idea. Thank you."
Orange Inn Knysna ★★★★
"Perfectly situated with stunning views and staff was welcoming and friendly. Was greeted next morning with a warm breakfast which I really enjoyed. Will definitly return. "
Turbine Hotel & Spa ★★★★★
"We slept for 3 nights in the Lagoon Suite 206, right on the water and unfortunately also directly above a restaurant with outdoor seating. From 8 a.m. to midnight it was incredibly noisy and we couldn't enjoy the suite and the great view over the lagoon. Dear Turbine team: In the future, please warn your guests about this “noisy” situation in Suite 206 when checking in. You pay twice as much for a suite as for a room. Unfortunately, since the hotel was fully booked over Christmas, we had nowhere else to go."
Pezula Nature Retreat ★★★★★
"I travelled with a group of golfing friends and stayed in Room 16 from 10 to 14 April 2026. We all thoroughly enjoyed visiting Knysna in general and Pezula in particular. As a returning guest, I noticed management's attention to detail and dedication to maintenance (well done!). It is always great to see so many familiar friendly faces among the staff, which shows that they are well trained and properly looked after. Pezula remains a world-class golfing destination with plenty on offer for non-golfers too. The hotel runs like a well-oiled machine while still retaining a personal touch... and nothing beats those views! A massive thanks to Reinhardt and his team for another wonderful stay. We'll definitely be back soon."

Pili Pili Beach Cabanas
"Good value for money and staff was extremely helpful. I really had a comfortable stay and having the sea at your doorstep is a bonus"
Brenton on the Rocks
"Such a great place and amazing hospitality thank you. We arrived in rain but still so good. The host helped us with recommendations and such great service "
Brenton Haven Beachfront Resort
"We truly enjoyed our stay with them. Our unit was beautifully laid out and spacious with the most spectacular views of the ocean. It combines a relaxed holiday feel with luxury and comfort. Smelling the ocean and hearing the waves makes you forget about everything else and keeps you captured in the moment. The staff are really friendly and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast at their stunning restaurant. I would definitely recommend a stay with them. Monique Botha"
South Villa Guesthouse&Garden
"Our stay was wonderful - hosts Christa & Hentje were really welcoming and warm, giving us nice and worthwhile tips about the surrounding beaches and scenery. The breakfast was a bliss with many personal touches! Property itself is down-to-earth and easy to find. If you are looking for total luxury and 24-h room service with concierge and theatre tickets etc. - you better find some other place. I loved it!"
Kanonkop House
"Had a wonderful 3 night stay at Kanonkop. Mark & Adele were perfect hosts, attentive, friendly and fun. They also organised a Braai one evening during our stay, which was excellent. The room was fabulous with stunning views over the lagoon and down to the ocean. We loved the "help yourself bar", although the staff were always around to help :) They had thoughtfully made a reservation at a local restaurant for us on our first night so we were covered. We will definitely return!"
St. James of Knysna
"We had a superb stay. The location is excellent, breakfast was great and the staff were lovely. The free boat trip on the lagoon was an added bonus. We hope to stay here again in the future"
Thebloem Guest Suites by Knysna Paradise Collection
"This was our third time staying at this wonderful guesthouse. This time we stayed for six nights. It's like coming home. A fantastically beautiful suite (No. 1), perfect service from Constance, Jossy and the whole team, and a very tasty breakfast. The service is characterised by warm cordiality, combined with the desire to fulfil guests' wishes as far as possible. For us, it is the best hotel in the world, and we certainly stay in the world's major 5-star hotels. Thank you to the wonderful owner Bianca – you really do everything right! We love coming back again and again."
Simola Hotel, Country Club & Spa
"We were disappointed with the level of service and professionalism we experienced during our recent stay. While the property is truly beautiful and has so much potential, our visit was overshadowed by the attitude and behaviour of staff members, where we constantly felt like we had to tread very carefully with even the simplest requests, as interactions often felt tense and staff seemed on edge—sometimes outright rude. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere that is the opposite of what one would expect from a hospitality-focused establishment."
Headlands House Guest Lodge
"Amazing views ; Fantastic friendly staff ; Well equipped rooms and very good breakfast - all in all had a very relaxing few days"
Premier Resort the Moorings, Knysna
"Dreadful. House keeping shocking. Beds uncomfortable and worst of all when loadshedding kicks in for two hours the noisiest generator kicks in right by the rooms. Last night from 8-10 and then 2-4 in the morning. Zero sleep. What about the families with young kids. Breakfast very poor. Service acceptable but warm beers are not."
Oyster Creek Lodge
"This place is now called Oyster Creek Lodge, and looks terrific on the web, with a gallery of photos that sadly no longer reflect the lodge as it is today. The original owner has sold it to a Cape Town company, who have no hands-on interest in its upkeep and/or maintenance. The lodge is located well, outside Knysna, but needs a general upgrade to keep it at the top of the star gradings. As a self catering lodge, it contains most of what one is accustomed to finding in such an establishment, but not top of the range equipment. It is totally dependent on mains power, so the load shedding schedule affects your ability to eat in. Fortunately we had our own load shedding lamp, as only one was available in the room. No gas cooker, no aircon, no overhead fan, no cushions on the outside chairs, no shelf in the bathroom for toiletries and toothbrushes, and only a very uncomfortable and low couch inside for relaxing on. What had promised to be a great stay, ended up being a bit of a disappointment. We are unlikely to return for another visit."
47th on Howard
"Comfortable stay with chrissie and her staff looking after us. Nothing too much trouble. Clean pool. Large room with balcony to sit on. Plenty of parking. Air con in room. Comfortable beds and great breakfasts "
