I've been reading reviews about Villa Afrikana for months now so my expectations were really high. All i can say is that it lived up to it. What a great place, from the minute we arrived, we were met by Bianca and Ross, Bianca showed us around and then took us to our room, one of the lovely staff members... More

The rooms are elegant and stylish, and the view of the Knysna heads from our personal balcony was stellar. We especially loved the sweet staff that served us breakfast every morning on our balcony. Bianca and Ross were also super helpful - full of suggestions of restaurants for lunches and dinners and also made reservations for us so we would... More

We stayed at Villa Afrikana for 5 unforgettable days and could not complain. The service was excellent and Ross & Bianca's team definitely go the extra mile. They concentrate on the small things which make the difference. Restaurant reservations, delicious breakfasts, beautiful rooms....can't wait to go back!
