I loved everything about this hotel. The staff were the best part. So friendly and welcoming. They waited on us hand and foot and no request was too much for them. They were just amazing and made us feel like celebrities. The room was beautiful with amazing views. Absolutely spotless as well. Thanks so much for having us!!!

We loved our stay at this beautiful, boutique hotel! Our room had beautiful views, and was well equipped with all the luxuries including a small bottle of delicious sherry. The hosts and staff were wonderful and accommodating. The breakfast was very good and there was also afternoon tea and happy hour in the main lounge. Why stay at boring hotels when you can stay at these unique special places. We will be back ! Thank you Ross and Bianca and the entire staff !

Beautiful room with the most amazing view. Eating a delicious breakfast on our terrace was just heavenly. The staff here are wonderful, they couldn’t be more helpful, but never in an intrusive way. I’d like to give a special mention to Tracey who greeted us with a smile and answered all our queries. The only minor niggle for us was that after a week of travel we had planned to do our laundry here but they are not currently offering a laundry service however we did find a self service laundrette in town. If you’re thinking of booking here you will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend highly enough.

The staff was phenomenal. The property itself is very nice in a very nice neighborhood overlooking the bay. We were treated as good as I've ever been treated. Very clean. The staff was exceedingly friendly. They even washed our car as it was dirty. There was tea hour. Later a happy hour. They arranged dinner reservations and transportations. Definitely a five-star property.

Honeymoon week at villa afrikana

The stay was exceptional in the sense that the hosts really care about your day. Everything was so clean and the breakfast was simply world class. We also loved the view of knysna everyday. Seriously the best view in town. We had our honeymoon there and we were treated with absolute TLC all the way.
