This in prime area. The rooms are average and particular the ones without sea view. These were overlooking the parking area. When I requested an upgrade to a better room (sea view) I was told that it wasn't possible because only the manager can make such a decision and he wasn't available.

This is a nice clean hotel right on the waterfront in Knysna. The rooms look like they had just been refurbished with the bathrooms being spotlessly clean. It's within walking distance to the pier where the sunset cruise leave from. The restaurant was ok. the view from the room was lovely.

Nice hotel. Clean, quiet. We sleep very well. Located near the waterfront.. we can walk to the boutiques and restaurants. Breakfast is sophisticated with many options. View on the lagon is great. Pool is small and not heated. So not useful during their winter. Parking is safe. Staff very dedicated.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay in this beautiful waterfront hotel. It adjoins the shopping area and is close to many eateries. Rooms though not very large, are very comfortable and compact. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.
