We stayed at Lazy Lion for two nights. The setup was really comfortable and the host made it an incredible experience. They shared their insights on Knysna and South Africa and helped us refine our itenary for better. Interior was very interesting and the room was perfect with an amazing view of “Two Heads”. We loved our morning and evening teas on the balcony. The Breakfast menu was thoughtful of our vegan lifestyle. My wife became a full fan of their home prepared granola.

To those who reside in the heart before the room it wasn't an ordinary stay; it was a true journey of happiness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. The hotel is undoubtedly beautiful, but what truly made the experience magical was you. Every single member kindness, genuine smiles, and beautiful spirits. thank you especially for the joy you added to my little son's heart, [jaber]. You made him feel important and cared for, and his happiness was the greatest gift we could have received. The memories of his laughter at your hotel will remain cherished in our hearts forever. You don't just provide hotel service; you provide a warmth and a feeling of home that made us feel like we were among our family🤝😁

From the moment we stepped through the door of Chez Pierre, we felt completely relaxed. It is a wonderful place to stay with an even more wonderful host and staff. When we arrived, Pierre welcomed us and gave us some tips on what to do in and around Knysna. The kids loved the rabbits and dogs, the breakfast was great and the option to use their bikes to explore the island was perfect. When I got sick, Pierre offered to drive me to the nearby hospital emergency room, which I did not expect and really appreciated. The location is great and it is absolutely safe to walk around Leisure Isle even at night.

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
