    Nothing, anything that we might have had an issue with, Martin sorted in a snap

    Strode House is the most welcoming home and you are at home as soon as you set foot inside. The views are spectacular, the team that run everything in the back ground are fantastic.

    It did not have an outdoor braai and there was no outdoor furniture to be able to sit as a group. Just a pity the gas for geysers had not been checked before we booked in as the cold showers were not very welcome in the cod weather. Also, from a woman’s perspective, there was a shortage of mirrors to be able to do hair. Packing space was very limited especially in the one double room. It also would have been good to have been able to have dry towels everyday, which was not possible to hang outside due to weather conditions. Other than that, we had a wonderful stay.

    Beautiful. Good location.

    A Lovely house for our family.

    The kitchen is a little tired and the braai tongs were broken and no scissors. There was no hot water during load shedding and due to 4 hours being off it was a problem after being out all day.

    A beautiful home. The house was very spacious with stunning views and very clean. A beautiful maintained garden. Loved all the decor, pictures and furniture. The bedrooms were very comfortable and so nice we all had our own en suite. The pool table was wonderful. The swimming pool was clean although we didn't use it or the jacuzzi.

    The kitchen is in need of renovation. We could not use the pool or jacuzzi as they were not clean. The house sleeps 10 people but there would not be enough cups / glasses etc if you had that many people. There are only 2 Sun loungers & no other outside furniture which is a real shame as the grounds are so lovely. A sofa & dining table would be great. Owner did say he would source some more Sun loungers but was unable to find any. There is an emphasis on being quiet because of the neighbours which is entirely understandable- somewhat ironic though when the neighbours dogs bark incessantly! No hot water during load shedding.

    Lovely spacious house, bedrooms were good size & all en-suite. The gardens were well kept. Good value for money. Laundry service available which is very handy when travelling. We throughly enjoyed our stay . After hotel / guest rooms nice to have so much space. Would stay again.

    The house was perfect and very clean. The host was exceptionally friendly. The entertainment facilities were awesome. We had a wonderful time there but unfortunately, the stay was too short. We will definitely book Strode House again on our next visit to Knysna.

    In July it was cold and we arrived to the windows wide open, no heating and thin duvets. The owner says that he has now bought a mobile gas heater and bought thick duvets for the 2 main rooms. Some of the house e.g.kitchen units need a coat of paint. There are warnings about not making too much noise, a decibel meter, quiet hours and closure of the hot tub and pool in the evening. Take an eyemask as the white blinds aren't light proof.

    Fabulous views from this big airy light house with a lovely pool and hot tub. Easy parking. A really fun open plan layout with a pool table. White styling with artworks showing beautiful wild animal photographs plus film stars.

    This is one of the best vacations homes we have ever been in. The house itself is very very spacious, very well equipped(including a pool, a hot tub, a full sized pool table and darts ). The check in was very easy. The rooms are very big, great beds and the bathrooms are awesome. In addition, the host did his very best to help. Starting with great recommendation on local stores, cafe's and supermarkets, and help with everything we asked. I highly recommend this house. Superb value for money.

    as all SA holiday houses it is freezing in winter, but there is a fireplace and a walk heater down stairs….no heaters upstairs but most beds have electric blankets which is nice if Eskom plays along…
