Knysna Hollow Country Estate

This is a lovely hotel about 5 minutes drive from the centre of Knysna. The rooms are clean, spacious and well-appointed. The resort is quiet and relaxing with very friendly staff. There are outdoor swimming pools and a lovely bar area with a good choice of drinks. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice!

Open app Your location Knysna Hollow Country Estate 5 Welbedacht Ln, Kanonkop, Knysna, 6570 Hotel Maqbool Jamdar 129 points   5 hours ago Spent 2 nights at this hotel ( not sure where the country estate comes from). Rooms not bad in size, plus is the big bathroom with walk in shower and l'Occitane bath accessories which is different from other hotels. Nice location but away from the Knysna waterfront. Quiet location and nice gardens with 2 medium sized pools and small play area. They have padel courts but this must be booked through another company for hire of court and equipment. Downs: Very limited breakfast, buffet style with small selection of scrambled , tomatoes, hash browns NO halal options which is a big negative. Most of the other hotels around here have this and a area where they provide omelettes At this hotel you have to pay extra for an omelette, Really?? If you are looking for a halaal friendly hotel then rather look elsewhere as what you pay is nice for hotel and room but not for food. We usually stay at Fancourt and this place is far from that in terms of experience. Agree that this gives you value for money but the kids wanted additional things for breakfast compared to what was offered. Reminded me of some of the business hotels I've used for work which offer the basics for the business traveller for breakfast. Was worth trying it out but maybe not for us.Lovely lady at reception who i chatted with regarding my concerns and it seems I'm not the only guest who has commented on the food offering.

We loved this place. It is absolutely amazing. The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and modern. Everything was very clean. The bathroom amenities are top class. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. Our room felt very private. The restaurant is great. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and appeared energetic and loving their jobs. The location of the hotel is perfect and we were able to walk into town when Knysna was very busy and we didn't want to contend with traffic. I would recommend this place. It is a real gem.

Wonderful hotel, the attention to detail here is second to none, a small light brightens the bathroom when you enter at night- such a good idea! Small but thoughtful. Staff are friendly and chatty and made the stay even better. We stayed 5 nights and ate in the hotel three evenings and every meal was good- we wouldn’t normally eat in so often but it was worth it at this hotel. Great area too, surrounded by forests and the lagoon absolutely fabulous. Hiking excellent as was the Friday night market held a few minutes walk from the hotel. Felt safe and relaxed and comfortable. Thank you.

Stayed here for our recent honeymoon and the hotel and grounds were amazing. The outdoor gardens and pool areas were well kept and pristine. The room was modern, clean and very spacious. The bar, breakfast and restaurant areas were clean, and the staff were attentive. Breakfast was a help yourself buffet with plenty of choice and the food was good. We ate at the restaurant on one evening and were impressed. If we hadn't already had somewhere booked for the second evening we would have happily eaten here again. Overall a very pleasant stay in a great location close to what we wanted to do.

Great place to stay in Knysna. Relatively new. Burned down in the fire and was rebuilt a few years ago. Grounds are peaceful. Room was comfortable and quiet. Front desk keeps the pool towels. Two Padel Tennis courts on site -- can reserve courts and equipment. Not expensive. Staff were very friendly. We had dinner here one night and it was excellent. Breakfast every morning was buffet and a nice selection. Load shedding affected hot water availability so make sure to check when it is while you are there so you are not showering near the end of the earmarked time! Would stay here again if ever back in the area.
