Who is Knysna Terrace kidding .... to advertise this as a 4 Star establishment is not only a joke... but apparently not even true... as it has not been one since 2009!! This accommodation was advertised at a discounted rate through Groupon... and there are For Sale signs up. The supposed "Continental Breakfast" was a joke... what continent I wonder??... More

We have book into the Knysna Terrace from 15April to 17April 2012. Our host and hotel manager, JP, have made our stay extra special. The view from the Terrace room was unbeliveable, overlooking the lagoon. We have receive warm welcomes from both JP and Lindy, their service are exceptional and we have enjoy the continental breakfasts each morning of our... More

I stayed for the first time in Knysna terrace two weeks aigo and was nicely surprised with the rooms, the service and the breakfast. Position on the lagoon is fantastic. Cant understand somebody can complain unless you like to complain. Only setback was the rain the first day (I stayed 5 days). Really a place I can recommend! And I... More

We booked for 5 nights, and after the first one we wanted to leave. Never in my life had I experience such a sub standard place. People who say that this is a wonderful place, probably don't go on holiday much to know what is out there. (sorry, that sounded harsh but I can not believe how anybody can find... More

I just spent the weekend at Knysna Terrace, and I would have to say that the service really was superb - the manager Lindy is an asset that they should keep! One little complaint... the linen could do with some refreshing... but I'm sure this will be rectified! Great job guys!

We have stayed at Knysna Terrace many times and although we had the odd problem we will continue to stay there. We always ask to be on the first floor so we can enjoy the view. We have always enjoyed a great breakfast and received good advise on where to go and eat. The manager even did the booking for... More

My Fiance and myself stayed at Knysna Terrace about a month ago and had a wonderful time. I was lucky not have read these reviews before the weekend or I might not have gone. It was only afterwards that I came across this site and I must say, I didn't experience any of the bad things from some reviews. The... More

We were booked in from the 15th of March 2012 to 20 March 2012, we expected a 4 star BB, but I don't think they deserve half a star! We ended up sleeping there for 1 night since we found the accomodation completely unacceptable! We arrived having a dirty smelly bathroom with urine stains on the floor and toilet seat,... More

We should have read the reviews on this site before booking. We stayed thankfully for only one night on the 12th of March. Where to start - we had indicated on booking that we were travelling with our one year old son, there was not even an extra towel for him so we had to dry him with the rather... More
