Amazing place! Our room was large, beautiful with a breathtaking view. The staff was very kind and helpful. It’s a tricky road upp to the castle, but once you’re there it’s worth everything. It’s not far from Knysna center, and it’s easy to go anywhere you want in the area.

We absolutely loved the peace and tranquilty of this Guesthouse - we were moved from the Pearl View to the sister guesthouse - Castle on the Heads, which is situated at the top of the hill and has stunning views of the ocean and Knysna. The property is surrounded by a beautiful, well-kept garden and has a fantastic pool area. Marina, the owner of the two guesthouses, has excellent taste. A delicious breakfast was prepared and initially served by exceptionally friendly staff on the terrace of the Pearl View Guesthouse (a mere 3-minute drive from the Castle on the Heads) We'd love to return to this amazing guesthouse and will definitely recommend to family and friends

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.
