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.

The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.

Intimate accommodation with a taste of home. I have no words to describe the care shown by Tina and Mel, perfect hosts who care about every detail for their guests. The apartment is complete, the decoration is wonderful (I loved it!!!), apartment in a quiet and silent street, and of course close to everything Knysna has to offer (bars and restaurants). The bonus of this accommodation is its dogs, which are beautiful and super cute. I loved every moment!!!!

We had a beautiful stay at this stunning house. Vanessa met us at the gate and showed us around. We got offered a room upgrade and had a few cute cats visiting us in the morning at the terrace. We felt very safe and had the best sleep in the most comfortable bed. There are many restaurant options around for delicious breakfast and dinner that comes with spectacular views.

Everything here was absolutely amazing! What stood out the most, was the kindness of the host family. They make your stay comfortable, relaxed, and memorable. They are all very kind and are always there to help and give good tips about what to do in the area. We also loved the food they prepared. We had dinner there twice and definitely had the best malva pudding we had during our stay in South Africa! Also the breakfast is delicious. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here when paying a visit to Knysna

De View was the perfect place for us to stay for 3 nights. The location was ideal as it was close to town and many of the attractions we wanted to see. The property itself is clean, neat and very comfortable. The hosts thought of everything one might need. The hosts themselves are amazing! They were ready to help and make our stay comfortable. The breakfast and the view is something to rave about. We could have easily stayed longer.

Good location in town near a mall, restaurants and waterfront. Ideal if you are not staying in Knysna long.. Interesting self booking in procedure. But good instructions given before arrival to do this. Very clean comfortable well equipped apartment. Certainly recommended.
