Without a doubt, this was the best stay I've ever had! I can't recommend this place enough to anyone visiting the area – it's a must-stay. The rooms were impeccably clean, the hosts were incredibly welcoming, and the views were simply breathtaking. I'm already looking forward to returning for another memorable experience.

A very friendly welcome on arrival even though we were rather late. The interior of the house is beautifully modern with a large balcony and swimming pool. The bedroom was spacious and had a large shower, bath, comfortable king-sized bed, and private balcony. Breakfast was delicious, and we watched it being made as the kitchen is open plan and can be seen from the dining area. Everything was sparkling clean. The guesthouse is also in close proximity to the Eastern Head with its breathtaking views as well as being close to the Waterfront. Will return on our next visit to Knysna. Thank you for the hospitality :)

The place was exquisite and we loved everything that was offered. Electric blankets for cold nights, extra blankets to use while watching TV, fire wood and lighters, the jacuzzi, and the fact that we were right next to the beach and were offered beach towels 😀. This was heaven and earth combined ❤️ everyone loved and enjoyed their stay and felt at home 😊.

- The connection between our room and the elephants sleeping place. We could open our door at night and be in their room to watch (and hear!) them sleep. - The Elephant morning walk & feeding them - The room, the staff, the restaurant and shop, the playground, everything really nice.
