In a stunningly beautiful location, the hotel is sheer pleasure from the moment of arrival. Large and comfortable rooms with great views, two lovely pools, delicious bar food and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff led by manager Sandy all make for an unforgettable experience. The 90-minute free boat trip on the estuary was the cherry on the cake.

Premier Resort The Moorings, Knysna

Hotel in Knysna

Located in Knysna, 4 km from Knysna Heads, Premier Resort The Moorings, Knysna provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

Let's start by saying that I stayed here at the Premier Resort The Moorings twice in a row during a round-road trip from Cape Town to Addo Elephant National Park and back, despite having several other options. What I appreciated the most is the quality of the service provided by the staff. A little touch: on my second visit, they gave me the very same room I had the first time, plus they always remember and call you by name, which is something that I really appreciate. The swimming pool area is very enjoyable, and the menù provided for a lunch by the pool is various, and with a great value for money. The room is bigger than expected, spotless, and I did appreciate the terrace so much. The position is good as well, close to every main attraction you can find in Knysna.

We loved the view over Knysna from the hotel! Beautiful setting, nice big property with pool area. The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful! We just loved them! We moved rooms and our second room was gorgeous - spacious and airy with a large comfy bed and sitting area. The bathroom is bright with a huge tub. The restaurant staff are friendly and the food is very good. I treated myself to a pampering mani/pedi. Regina, the esthetician was wonderful! She really took her time and pampered me with a wonderful massage too! Enrico , the manager was available and helpful. Everything was just great and we thoroughly enjoyed our four nights here!

Everything was nearby, but you need to be there to experiences the wonder of Knysna. It is a must to go visit the Love Gifts store. The Portuguese restaurant food was delicious, but you have to try all the food places there as everything is divine.

I haven't visited Knysna in a long time and sadly I have to say that, in the last few years the city has gone to the dogs, it is 3rd world at best. Restaurants, tourist areas and the natural beauty is still awesome, but the city center is dirty, run down and unsafe to walk around in, especially after dark.

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants. Knysna is a must see and visit destination on the Garden Route.

The sea facing Coral Suite was large with great views of the ocean & The Knysna Heads. Very comfortable big bed. Dinner next to the fireplace was really good. Breakfast was good with a small but good selection of buffet items & a great variety of cooked items to order- the views from the restaurant are amazing. Having bicycles out the front of the hotel that guests can use is a really great touch - the ride around the island is flat & easy to do I would definitely recommend doing it.

This property is first class in all respects. It is spacious, very well-appointed & extremely well-equipped. The beds are excellent. The location is tranquil and secure, yet only a stroll of five minutes from the shops and restaurants on the Knysna Quays Waterfront. The house also has its own integral garage.
