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 had 3 nights at Knysna Hollow, a modern small up market hotel built on the site of a previous establishment destroyed by fire in 2017 (I think). The rooms are spacious and comfortable with air conditioning, fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, a safe and TV (which we couldn't understand how to work, it's very technical). Having said that, who needs a TV in a place as good as this? The electric sockets are South African, not international - if you need an adaptor you can get one from reception for a small deposit. There are 2 swimming g pools, 4 boules pitches and a padl Court. Meals were all very good at dinner and breakfast and a good wine list with very reasonable prices. The staff, without exception, were cheerful and friendly. You can hire a bicycle to cycle into Knysna, though it's along quite a busy road. I can highly recommend this spot!

Lovely place to stay, friendly staff and very relaxing. We stopped off here and stayed for 3 nights on our trip along the garden route. The food was very good, especially the burger! Very clean, spacious room and bathroom! We would certainly return!

Without a doubt the best choice in knysna for any traveler , this is a modern complex which has an excellent restaurant. Both lunch and dinner are recommended , the atmosphere is so refreshing. Prices are reasonable and the staff obliging. Our many visits reflect the quality of staff and management we never want to leave. Well done Knysna’s hollow . Lord B. Uk.

We arrived early and were allowed to check in to Beautiful rooms with very comfortable beds. The place has well manicured gardens, inclusive bike hire, with helmets which we used to go to the heads on, also paddle tennis is available on site. What a shock it was to meet (Lenox) who at breakfast greeted us with a grunt, explaining nothing about the breakfast service. Which was a good self service buffet, drinks to be ordered. We ordered a pot of tea, and then asked him for a coffee latte , at this he picked the tea pot up from our table shook it and said but you’ve got tea! He then proceeded to bring out coffee slamming the cup down hard onto the table so hard that he apologised at him self , we asked him if it was a problem having tea and coffee, this guy spoils the whole ambience of the place and undermines the extremely good efforts of the reception team and other staff.

This must be one of the loveliest places to stay in South Africa, if not the world. Very comfortable with beautiful gardens exceptionally well maintained and good value for money food and wine. We really enjoyed our stay here and will be making a return trip to South Africa and we will definitely stay here again.

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.
