Everything was just exceptional, from the moment we walked it we were blown away. The furniture, finishings and amenities were just exquisite, the breakfast was scrumptious, the staff and owners so warm and welcoming. We had a luxurious, quiet and relaxing couple of days, just what the Dr ordered. Thank you Wayne, Dirk, Patti and Memories ❤️. It truly felt like home away from home.

TwoAngels

Knysna

Located in a cottage-style house directly on the edge the Knysna Lagoon, TwoAngels offers a variety of uniquely designed self-catering accommodation with panoramic views.

B
Brett
From

This is a unique find - a room furnished with taste and restraint, but also pragmatism. The stunning setting of Two Angels - a plunging view down through layers of architecture and greenery straight onto the lagoon - is reminiscent of Lake Como. But the dreamy ambiance is supported by a very comfortable and well-planned guest environment, full of little touches (great beds, spotlessly clean linen, an iron), that make it easy to do a day’s sightseeing. The kayaks were an extra touch, which we greatly appreciated. The glory of this place, however, remains its unique setting, as well as the ability to walk down straight into the lagoon and go swimming. Service was friendly and unobtrusive.

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.
