    It's the second time we've stayed here and we would definitely stay here again. We had the Featherbed studio and it is really comfortable for a couple. Spacious, good equipment in the kitchen, a private deck and braai stand including outdoor seating. It really is value for money! Plus the view out over the Knysna Heads is wonderful. The host, Kitty, and her dogs were warm and welcoming and only added to the fantastic experience. In addition, use of the garden and pool for all guests!

    Charming property with fantastic views
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior Apartment
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Note that you will get dog barking (this is South Africa); in case of load shedding, there are several storm lamps to provide light.

    This is a compact but very atmospheric apartment in a residential area Knysna, tranquil and with loads of character and greenery. The place has lots of natural light, a great patio, and offers fabulous views of the surrounding town and bay. The apartment contains a full kitchen, dining room, living room, and of course, spacious bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The property also has a beautiful garden and swimming pool. From the property it is a somewhat longer walk to town, although a small supermarket is nearby that is open late. Kitty is a fantastic host and can provide you with any information you may need about Knysna as well as the attractions in the surrounding area.

    DSTV package did not have all the sport channels, and as such, we were unable to watch the rugby during our stay.

    None of the following were our host's fault: sudden load-shedding, water loss to the neighborhood, inconsistent internet service, and chainsaws to remove a neighbor's tree. To have survived these with positive feelings about the trip was largely a credit to our host.

    The view over the estuary from the balcony was exceptional in the morning. The inclusion of electric blankets was a very nice touch for our winter weekend. Having a battery backup for internet services was an unexpected nice touch. Offstreet parking was helpful, too. The Spar grocery was very conveniently close.
