We returned to Amanzi Lodge after a five year break and loved it just as much. Cathy and Simon are wonderful hosts (we were a bit apprehensive as we were looking forward to seeing Helen again) but their knowledge on the local area is extensive and they are just lovely people. Our room (3) has a fabulous large balcony looking... More

We were sold on this place the second we entered our room. What do I say about a view that's beautiful blue lagoon by day and wide beach by night?! We canoed by day in the same place we walked across at night. Wonderful room with 2 bathrooms, (one of which had two showers in the same cubicle!) which we... More

My wife and I traveled to Knysna (as part of our Honeymoon) after a very busy week of tourism in Cape Town and chose Amanzi as our quiet getaway sight-unseen. We chose it based on the reviews we found here on TripAdvisor and we could not have been happier about our choice. We booked the Garden Room for our stay,... More

We had a wonderful stay at Amanzi in December 2011, it was just a pity we could not stay longer as there is so much to see and do in the area. The deck has a magnificent view of the lagoon and the "Heads" and it is a brilliant spot to start the day with breakfast or end it with... More

We stayed 5 nights in Amanzi. The stay was fabulous: extremely helpful hosts, which made our days very interesting, delicious breakfast, beautiful rooms, great lagoon view, quiet location 5 minutes away from Knysna center. We'd definitely go back ! More

Knysna was our most easterly stop as we made our way from Cape Town, through the winelands, and along the southern coast (Garden Route) of South Africa. I looked at several possible accommodations that were suggested but eventually settled on Amanzi Lodge because of the superb ratings on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. It was our favorite room and... More

Everything is perfect here. Our superior lagoon facing room was spacious and luxuriously comfortable. A generous bathroom plus a massive wet room made us feel pampered. the huge bed was very comfortable and we had a fabulous view of the lagoon over our own large decked terrace. Absolute bliss! The breakfasts were ample and well cooked, served on the upper... More
