Moncrieff Manor

Breathtaking Location and Views: The property is situated on a hill overlooking Knysna, offering panoramic views of the lagoon, the Knysna Heads, and the surrounding area. Guests consistently praised the stunning scenery, particularly during breakfast or from their rooms.

I stayed at Moncrieff Manor in Knysna from 1st of July 2025, and unfortunately, my experience did not meet expectations based on the listing and reviews. From the moment I arrived, there were noticeable issues. The cleanliness of the room was ok, The linens appeared freshly laundered — Despite being advertised as fully equipped, several amenities were either missing or non-functional, the bathroom shower door was broken and could not close properly. The room was very cold without any aircon, the room also had a wet animal/ old urine smell. There was power issues and the power kept tripping and I could not use my computer for quite a bit of time. I attempted to address some of these concerns with the management, I was given a plug in heater While I understand no accommodation is perfect, the lack of attention to detail made this a frustrating stay. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I hope this feedback encourages the property to make the necessary improvements. I would not recommend this location unless significant changes are made.

Set high above Knysna, Moncrief offers amazing views of the whole lagoon. Kevin, the host, adds to the experience by being wonderfully caring and helpful. The room was large and comfortable and there was lots of extra areas available for guests
