Knysna Apartments

Celebrated my mom’s birthday. We enjoyed our stay, loved the pool and our room was spacious and clean. The buffet breakfast is great, wish it had pancakes or waffles for vegetarians. The hotel is located at the heart of Knysna- short stroll to the waterfront, plenty of restaurants& activities. Parking is available on site for ZAR30 p/ night and tourism levy is ZAR30 p/ night. Our check in was 30 minutes late, (14:30) bit disappointed, but we understand it was peak period. Otherwise highly recommend and will definitely return!

We booked a room with a king-size bed and were given a room with a queen-size bed. The room had a lot of hair on the floor and didn't look very clean. The welcome gift as a gold member was also missing. Various items ran out at breakfast and were no longer available. As the hotel only has two rooms with a king-size bed, the owner (Lesego) promised to refund us the difference in the room price. To date, the amount has not been refunded and we have not received a reply to emails or Whatsapp regarding the outstanding refund. This all points to a very dubious management, which is why we can only advise not to book this hotel.

Views: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Room:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic stay at The Mount Knysna, which is a small, boutique hotel close to the viewpoint of the two heads. Staff are attentive and the hotel is homely. We were slightly early for check in which was accommodated without mention, and check out was smooth and efficient. Definitely do catch dinner at Second Story, and dig into the hotel’s very good South African wine cellar. We caught a movie at the in house movie theatre, with freshly popped popcorn, drinks and snacks. Breakfast every morning was such a treat too. The pool is heated with a spectacular view of the lagoon. Uber works well in Knysna but we hired a car, and the hotel has free parking. A quaint hotel with personal touches brought by the lovely staff!

This boutique hotel is absolutely gorgeous - it looks actually like the villas in the Taschen coffee table books and has a stunning architecture and a wonderful interior design, with impressive panoramic views, a sunny pool and the most beautiful lounges and living areas. The staff is adorable and Miriam has a great sense of hospitality and will always do her best to make you feel welcome and valued, she is the perfect host and has been extremely welcoming - a real gem. The location is magnificent, in an exclusive island very close to Knysna's waterfront. The shuttle service is always available and you can get even complimentary bikes to explore the region on your own. Breakfast is included in the rate and is served by a very friendly waiter on one of the many sunny terraces, overlooking the sea. Freshly baked butter croissants and some Florentine eggs have been an enjoyable start into the day. In the evening you can admire the sunset from their lounge with a drink, the sea views by the end of the day had amazing colours! And Ashley has been super attentive. It seems that the property is popular by regular clients from Europe returning every winter, for me it was the first time here. If you like beautiful hotels, it's a little jewel. A place to return and a place to remember.

Roseroc was a wonderful experience. The room was lovely and comfortable with all the facilities you would need. We recommend the sea view room which s well worth the slight extra charge. Breakfast was a sheer delight (try the Roseroc poached egg) and our genial host Kevin is a veritable mine of information. He recommended restaurants and ”must see” parts of Knysna and we were glad we took his advice. We plan to visit SA again and will definitely stay here again. Ros & Gino

From the booking which we had to change but it was an effortless exercise, they could not have been more helpful to the warmest welcome in arrival. We had the most beautiful room with the best view in the world. They could not have been more welcoming. It's probably our top destination. We were made to feel at home in the bar and had drinks enjoying the best view. Our dinner reservations were made by Francois. Breakfast the following morning was a feast. This is a highly recommended heavenly stop. Thank you to all.

We celebrated my 50’th birthday at the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven recently. And what a celebration it was! The venue was spectacular, and the catering was out of this world. From day one, Johlanda and her team was extremely organized, and the pre-event arrangements was timeous and from an excellent quality and standard. Johlanda (and my wife) arranged everything in detail, quite a task if an event is held in Brenton and you are resident in Polokwane. On the day of the event, everything went smoothly, with no hitches whatsoever. The venue and catering were 100% spot-on. The bar staff, kitchen staff and waiters (Teenage and his team) were friendly, fast, and efficient. It takes quite a lot for any venue to deliver 50+ perfectly prepared steaks all at one time. Not one of our guests complained in any way or manner about any food, drinks, or service. Our guests were catered for in detail, from persons with allergies to persons with other food preferences (vegetarians and vegans). As most of our guests were from other provinces, most guests also made use of the Brenton Haven hotel, and once again not a single guest was disappointed in any of the hotel or facilities. The group discount offered for event guests, also made the accommodation very reasonably priced and our guests were indeed impressed by both the Butterfly Blu restaurant and the Brenton Haven hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to host my celebration at the Butterfly Blu and I will recommend the use of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven for any occasion or event. If I had to score my whole experience, I will score it 10 out of 10. I wish to heartfully thank the whole of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven team, with what can only be described as a once in a lifetime, extremely successful birthday celebration. Eugene le Roux
