“Good guest house”

Reviewed 27 April 2013

My stay at this guest house was a pleasant one, the owners were friendly, the breakfast lady was very kind and helpful, the rooms were clean and a decent size, very close to the waterfront, and the house was filled with lovely antique furniture.

Thank you for your kind words Sheryn. The guesthouse is centrally located and is nice and close to the waterfront. I am glad that you liked the older decor of the house, which is totally in keeping with the age of the house. Some of the items are certainly antique. Thank you once again and we look forward to welcoming... More

Would be more than happy to recommend to family, friends and tourists. Hosts friendly and professional with lots of information about the local history and environment. Our room was delightful with an en suite bath room tucked below an intimate little stairway.

Good Evening Selwyn, I guess you stayed in room A, our Princess Room, which is rather quaint, with the cute little bathroom. Glad to hear that Anthony and Brenda were professional in the attitude towards their guests and that they could offer useful information about the area both historical and activities to partake in. Wishing you a great day. Kind... More

“Good location and value”

Reviewed 31 March 2013

We only stayed in Knysna one night on our way along the Garden Rouse. The guest house was a great option for our stay and I liked that it had some history to it. We enjoyed chatting with other guests out on the deck overlooking the waterfront. It's an easy walk to town, though I was a little nervous walking... More

Hi Cindonesia, Once again we are happy that our guests were happy. Again, I must state that this is one of the cheapest rooms at the guesthouse. We have slowly been redecorating since taking over the guesthouse, and one of my priorities is getting rid of the excess furniture. Can I ask a question to all guests, what sort of... More

Good evening Rocap, Thank you for your honest opinion of our guesthouse.

We stayed at Knysna Manor House for 3 nights and would certainly come back. Located in Knysna city centre but just off mainstreet, so there is no traffic noise.
