We had a wonderful stay at Knysna Hollow Estate. The accommodation is spacious, modern, clean and the bed is very comfortable (A comfy bed is one of my must have’s). The staff were all super friendly and Cheryl, one of the manager’s, was efficient and could not have been more helpful.

This boutique hotel of only 6 rooms is one of the best places I have ever stayed at. The views from the pool and breakfast area are gorgeous. The cinema suite room we had was stunning. The photos don't even do it justice. It has a long balcony where we were able to watch the sunset over the The Heads. The bathroom is massive with a free standing bath overlooking the gorgeous bay. With all these beautiful views it still feel very private and secluded. Lastly there's a large private cinema room with a big smart tv where you can watch a movie. The staff are so lovely...Dora was an angel and even organised a last minute dinner reservation for us. They have clearly listened to previous constructive criticism because a generator kicked in almost immediately at approx 10pm when there was some load shedding. Breakfast was tasty with some good hot options as well.

A friendly place.

A friendly place. Waterfront area and a lagoon boat trip are a must-do. Plenty of places to visit in the area. Dry Dock restaurant highly recommended. Easy to get around the area although parking in central area a bit problematical. A visit to 'The Heads' viewpoints which is nearby. Drive the 7-passes road for scenery and driving experience. Visit the transport museum in nearby George (it's free!). Margaret's viewpoint on Brenton-on-sea road is nearby and not to be missed.

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.

The hostess was really communicative and accommodating. All of the requisite appliances and amenities accompanied this unit with a really great view of the lagoon. Very tranquil and certainly a place I would recommend to anyone I meet who is looking to stay in Knysna. Within safe walking distance from the Knysna Waterfront and security all around this property. Again, ups to the hostess, Charlene who was so accommodating and who made our stay extra special!

This was a splendidly spacious apartment on two floors with glorious views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. The gas hob and oven worked well and were proof against load-shedding. The bed and the lounge seating were very comfortable. The swimming pool was close by and very refreshing. I would recommend this property for an extended stay. The bathroom and the shower room both worked well. The staff were great!
