From the moment we arrived, Vanessa, the host, was incredibly welcoming and kind, making our stay truly memorable. The space immediately felt intimate and inviting. The entire property is beautifully decorated with stylish, high-end furnishings, and every corner has its own unique charm. It truly felt like staying in a designer home. The bedrooms were equally stunning, with elegant decor and luxurious linens, ensuring a very comfortable stay. We genuinely didn't want to leave this little piece of paradise.

We arrived at dusk in a tired and wet state after a sorry experience at a wildlife park on a very rainy day.Dear Leafy gave us such a welcome it helped revive our spirits, just what we needed. Lana showed us around the stunning hotel and our amazing room with spectacular view. We were really looked after. We were able to order a pizza and purchase a bottle of wine. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The staff were friendly and the service exceptional.

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.
