Pierre was welcoming and warm and ready to make our stay worthwhile. We arrived late and he was accommodating to the late check in. The room Was ready woth water and coffee. He placed an order at a nearby restaurant for us to have dinner as they do not serve dinner at his place. The sheets were crispy. The room and bathroom very comfortable to accommodate 2 adutls and 2 children. The breakfast is fresh and filling with yogurt fruits bread waffles and croissants. The staff is kind and warm.

Rob and Diane are exceptional hosts. Arriving at One on Bollard is like arriving home. Rooms are spacious, very well appointed with a private garden. 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 sadly only stayed for one night but could have easily stayed longer. Rob makes fabulous homemade goodies for breakfast. Do not skip breakfast! Loved our stay!

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.
