Pezula likely offers best views in Knyssna. The staff, from front desk, spa restaurants are just wonderful and very accommodating. Our 5-year old daughter was offered a massage in a spa which was the highlight of her holidays. The outdoor swimming pool and rooms are excellent. Highly recommend.

Commanding elevated view of Knysna from the hotel. Room was large, extremely clean and comfortable. No issues at all with load shedding as the hotel had an alternative back up power supply. Hotel also has an interesting history having previously been owned by the Thesen family. Quality of service and food in the restaurant for breakfasts and high end evening meals was excellent. Both managers at the hotel, namely Danelle and Sue, are first class as were all the staff at the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel for a relaxing and peaceful break. The hotel gardens are also beautifully well maintained.

The reception was efficient in allocating rooms to the 12 of us. The rooms were super clean and beds were very comfortable. Bkf was superb, huge portions of hot foods with fruit, cold cuts, cheese and cereal buffet. Coffee was nice too. Staff were lovely and cheery. Totally recommended.

An excellent stay at Amanzi where we were able to experiment two different rooms. Both were very comfy. The fisherman suite is awesome with its private pool and very large bathroom. The view from the room is stunning. We loved to be able to do kayaking in the morning (the hotel provides kayak for free). Miriam was very diligent to help us booking some nice restaurants always with a wonderful view seating.

The views from our room were incredible! The level of service and attention to detail were excellent. Tracy and all of the staff looked after us and made us feel at home. The breakfast service was brilliant, they brought it to our room right on time and the food was delicious!

Our room had a private area/balcony, with a couch with superb view over the lagoon. The water is literally 10 stairs away, which was fantastic. We could borrow the kayaks, swim or walk during the low tide. Our host was very friendly and informative about Knysna and places to visit and things to do around. The room was fully equipped, but we didn't use it, as we liked all too much the East Head cafe nearby

Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
