After visiting Addo ENP, Knysna is in my opinion the first stop back to CPT. So we did and stayed in Amber. We enyoed our stay there and Amber is quiet flexible. By chance my parents and sister were near Knysna and also stayed in Amber. Janet made the family room ready in no time and we had our little... More

Our stay at Amber Guest Lodge was definitely one of the highlights during our trip of South Africa. The house is situated in a quiet area, close to two golf courses. Only 10 minutes drive into Knysna town center. Rooms are large with a consistently high quality. Good breakfast and friendly hosts who will share tips and information with you.... More

We stayed at Amber Guest Lodge as a last-minute stopover during a busy December. They were so kind as they only had a large suite left, but let us have it for the price we would have paid for just us two. We were offered tea and coffee immediately as we arrived after our long trip and given awesome recommendations... More
