We had wonderful 11 nights stay. We were met by lovely Faith who ensured that everything was perfect for us. The location is elevated with a beautiful view over the lagoon. It’s a lovely 40 minute walk along the edge of the lagoon to the Quays and Thesen island. Ubers are cheap for the journey back. Urs and Matthias are very special people and amazing hosts and have a great team, specially Zen for the amazing breakfast.

Superb guesthouse. Spotless rooms with a mini fridge, coffee and tea facilities. Nothing was too much trouble. Welcome drink with an explanation of things to do in the local area. Suggestions for where to dine, and booked for you if needed. The breakfast was amazing and changes daily. Bedrooms look over the estuary, a beautiful balcony to sit out on a take in the view. Highly recommended.

This is a gem of a place. If you visit Knysna, this is where to stay. Candlewood Lodge is perched on a hillside with magnificent views of the Knysna Heads, the Lagoon, and the dazzling sunsets. Surrounded by leafy terraces and a well-tended, beautiful garden, it lies in a serene, secluded setting just seven minutes drive from the town centre and the Waterfront. Our room was quiet and spacious and filled with light, with balconies on two sides. We were warmly welcomed by Faith, the manageress, who informed us of Knysna's delights. We met Zen who cooks delicious breakfasts which vary from morning to morning. She also does an excellent dinner on request. We met Urs, the owner whose life story reads like novel – and Maria, Alaine, King and Blessing who are always smiling, attentive and helpful. They are not just a team, they are a happy family eager to include their guests into their family. And they certainly succeeded in doing so with us.

I had a wonderful stay at the Candlewood Lodge. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was amazing. Breakfast on the patio was beautiful each morning and the staff were friendly and kind. Every touch was very thoughtful, from the room decor to the selection of breakfast items. I would highly recommend choosing the Candlewood if you are visiting Knysna.

Such a wonderful experience! View! Well appointed room! Cleanliness! Friendly staff! Exceptional breakfast! Owner managed! A must stay if you are in the Knysna area. Our room was more like an apartment, with a kitted kitchenette, and a seating area, which we enjoyed thoroughly.

Die Candlewood Lodge ist ein hübsches Boutiquehotel an schöner, ruhiger Lage in Knysna. Urs und Matthias haben alle Räume sehr geschmackvoll individuell gestaltet. Die Zimmer sind riesig. Das "Storm" ist eine kleine Wohnung mit Küche und separatem Schlafzimmer. Die Betten sind komfortabel. Die Aussicht von den Zimmern auf Knysna ist umwerfend. Im Garten entdeckt man unter der kundigen Führung von Matthias viele Medizinalpflanzen, deren Blüten und Blätter teils auch essbar sind. Das Personal empfängt die Gäste mit viel Wärme und Liebenswürdigkeit. So fühlt man sich sofort willkommen. Die Küchenchefin hat uns gestern Abend ein hervorragendes Essen serviert. Das war mehr, als 5*! Am Morgen erwartet die Gäste ein Frühstücksbuffet der Sonderklasse. Schlicht umwerfend. Das Pool bringt Erfrischung. Was will man mehr. Nicht zu vergessen die guten Tipps von Matthias bezüglich Ausflüge in der Umgebung. Danke für alles
