The best place we stayed at in South Africa. Beautifully decorated and truly luxurious. The property is stunning, located inside a gated residential estate. Our room had a balcony with an amazing view of the city. It’s a bit farther from the center, close to the Knysna Heads — which was perfect for us. The host was very kind and helpful. We wish we could have stayed longer.

A few steps away from the shore of Leisure Isle for endless walks or activities. Rob and Diane had great recommendations for dinner and very helpful in arranging transport for dinner.

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
