We had an amazing visit to South Villa Guesthouse. Christa and Hentie went above and beyond to make our stay special. So many special little touches. They truly love the area and gave us a great recommendation for dinner as well. So pleasant speaking with them. We felt like we were staying in their home. Be sure to visit the waterfront market nearby. Thank you for the fantastic visit!

After a really warm welcome Christa gave us some useful recommendations where to go and made a reservation for dinner for us. We had a great time in Knysna as well as in the guest house with its nice rooms and wonderful service (including laundry service). We highly recommend this accommodation with the most lovely hosts we ever had!

Outstanding
A lovely 4 star guest house with beautiful views from our balcony of Knysna Heads/the sea.
Crista is the most amazing hostess. Our Land Rover Defender with roof rack was too tall for the garage so she arranged for secure parking just down the road at a friend's place.
As we then did not have a car, she offered to drive us to a restaurant and pick us up later.
I was not feeling brilliant so she recommended a restaurant that would deliver, 34 degrees South. The food was great and she arrived with plates, cutlery etc as it arrived and we ate out on our balcony looking out at the lovely view.
She could not have been more helpful and we really appreciated it.
A lovely place to stay and a great location but it is the hospitality and service which we will remember.
