Beautiful view and amazingly equipped lodge. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Great touches such as everything you needed for the BBQ. Very comfortable room with fans. Loads of space for a family. Easy to walk down to waterfront and to get taxi back. Advised not to walk at night.

We felt that the shower was not very good and obviously we did not like the driveway so it is unlikely that we will stay there again. The unit was not serviced while we were there.

The lodge was very comfortable for a family of 5.The garden is beautiful and the view on Knysna heads is stunning. Well equipped lodge, even in case of load shedding. Closely situated to the waterfront and all shopping areas. Henriette is very careful. Highly recommended place.
