I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms had amazing views and lovely decor, and the furniture was very well maintained. The lagoon view from my room was breathtaking. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and making arrangements quickly. The location on the beautiful little island was perfect, just a stone's throw away from stores and restaurants. Dining, with the voucher provided, was a delicious experience with exceptional wine choices. The facilities were excellent, and I truly enjoyed every moment.

The hotel offers breathtaking views of the Knysna Lagoon from the rooms with a big terrace, yet lacks storage space for clothes. The service is exceptional with helpful staff making arrangements for dining and ensuring a comfortable stay. Situated on the lagoon, the location provides easy access to nearby eateries. The dining experience is delightful with a voucher for wine at the nearby bakery. The facilities are well-maintained and add to the overall appeal of the hotel.
