Amazing
GGuest UserAccomodation is located on a separate island, which is a gem itself - stunning shoreline, lovely park for walks, a very peaceful place which is also very safe. Great location - road connecting it to the mainland, and just 10 minutes drive from Knysna harbour with all the best eat out places around. We've been treated by Pierre, who is the most friendly and welcoming host. He has designed the place with his love for sailing and the sea in general - everything is very stylish, clean and bright. He is also originally from Belgium, which means you'll also benefit from delicious Belgium waffles as a nice desert treat for your breakfast. You can also ask him about best places to visit, not just around Knysna but all across the West Cape. And there will also be a special something for dog lovers, as there are 2 absolutely adorable labradoodles hanging around when allowed by guests, and they really love to cuddle 🤗 Wish we could stay for more, but will definitely come back next time I'll be around.
LLuque974Mike was an amazing host and he tried to sort all the inconveniences (boiler disfunctioning) in a super friendly and proactive manners. Would definetely reccomend
GGuest UserBeautiful hotel facing the lagoon. Check in was not a smooth process due to a room mix up. The service from the staff was outstanding. The room I checked into was very nice, spacious, clean with a beautiful view of the lagoon. The food was delicious. The hotel is a bit far from the city center/waterfront.
Overall experience was outstanding.
I look forward to visiting this place again in summer.
GGuest UserWe had a very friendly welcome from our hostess with welcome drinks, a small snack and a scented damp refresher towel. The grounds are beautiful - lush, green and well kept. We were bumped up to a lovely room with a big balcony and view over the pool area and river. The room was very clean and neat. breakfast at the on-site restaurant was delicious and staff were friendly. (the only minus... the coffee was not hot).
Another great thing is that all the activities (canoeing on the river, hiking, mashie golf, etc are included in your room fee!
We would definitely visit again!!
MMikeJMJonesThis is possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in!!! The staff and cottages were amazing!!! Let's start with the (only small) negatives... the cottages are a little remote from Knysna centre so you are reliant on using Uber. There is a wonderful on-site pub, but it stops serving food quite early. Plus it is hard to get cars back after 10pm at night. Therefore, some people may be better off staying more centrally. HOWEVER, nowhere else will match the beauty and tranquility of these cottages! The perfect place to relax! Stock up from a supermarket and build a new home!
AAdriaanNot a bad little guesthouse. No airconditioner in the rooms though. So plan your trip for spring or autumn to be more comfortable. Very friendly staff and eager to give advise on good locations to visit.
SSolo-wandererPili-Pili is a “Great location” on Shedgsfield the beach with single rooms and communal en-suite rooms available with seaviews from the balcony.
Roof terrace gives you a stunning option to enjoy your pre lunch drink.
Proceed downstairs to order and watch your delicious pizza (your choice of toppings) cooked in one of two wood fired ovens.
Staff are all friendly and helpful I strongly recommend staying here.
RRochsWhether indulging in relaxation or seeking adventure, this resort truly had it all. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an extraordinary getaway, and I cannot wait to return for another amazing stay.
GGuest UserBooked this stay for my parents birthday weekend. The service and concierge kept them very happy and were very responsive and helpful. Property is wonderful and my parents really enjoyed their stay!
