Our stay was unforgettable! There is absolutely nothing to complain about! The cottages are large, new, stylishly furnished, absolutely clean and comfortable. There is a sports trampoline, a swimming pool and peacocks walking around on the territory:) The territory is very well maintained. Shannon is a very nice owner, she was always in touch and helped with our questions. When we return to Knysna, we will definitely stay here again!

We arrived at dusk in a tired and wet state after a sorry experience at a wildlife park on a very rainy day.Dear Leafy gave us such a welcome it helped revive our spirits, just what we needed. Lana showed us around the stunning hotel and our amazing room with spectacular view. We were really looked after. We were able to order a pizza and purchase a bottle of wine. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The staff were friendly and the service exceptional.

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.
