We stayed at Beacon House for part of our honeymoon. What an amazing apartment and the manager, Mike, was most helpful and welcoming. Very well-equipped and luxurious units and fantastic location. We would highly recommend Beacon House and would love to stay there again. Craig and Sue. More

We had the privilege of staying at Beacon House for over five weeks. Our appartment had stunning views of the breathtakingly beautiful Knysna Heads and Knysna Lagoon from the lounge, bedrooms and balcony. It was a joy being able to brai (bbq) on the balcony as the sun went down over the Heads and then be able to go to... More

Just returned from Beacon House and had a wonderful time. The views from the living area, bedrooms and balcony are out of this world. From waking up in the morning to having dinner on the balcony in the evening you will never tire of the exceptional views of the lagoon and heads. The apartment inside is modern and furnished to...

Beacon House is an exceptional apartment. Incredibly well fitted out in contempoary style and in the best of locations overlooking The Heads. Mike was there to greet us and always seemed to be about when needed even though he lives off site. It is self catering if you want but over the road is an excellent cafe for breakfast or... More

This was our second stay at Beacon House and we were one again blown away by the service, apartment, views, etc. Mike is a fantastic host and makes us feel most welcome. The rooms are spacious and the beds luxurious. Even more comfortable than home! We'll definitely be back again and again! More

We spent a week in January 2012 , and were delighted to see that the apartment was exactly as was seen on the website. Mike Elliot was extremely hospitable and did everything to ensure that it was a fantastic holiday - we will definitley be returning in the near future. Having the two restaurants within 50 metres was an added... More

Having had an excellent stay at Beacon House in Easter 2011, we decided to return for the Christmas holidays. Mike was able to accommodate us, and looked after us just as well as before. Not only a fully-equipped, luxury apartment (with more mod-cons than we have at home!), but the location is the best. To be able to sit on... More

We stayed 3 nights at Beacon House. Beacon House was better than the photos on their website and surpassed my expectations. The view was priceless. We have stayed in many self catering apartments before and there is always something missing. This was the best equipped self catering apartment we have ever stayed in. There was nothing short every item was... More
