What an incredible decoration. The property is so pretty with all the turbines from the days the hotel was a power station, mixed with modern paintings and what not. Really adds to the atmosphere. It's connected to a gastropub which was very convenient in the evening because we were tired and didn't even have to leave the property to have a nice burger and beers(plus live music). The breakfast is amazing, I got myself a delicious eggs benedict with smoked salmon. There was loadshedding but the hotel honors its past and has a generator so we were not left in the dark. Finally, loved the vibe in Thesen Island, the canals, the calm streets, etc.

    I have visited Knysna many times, usually during the oyster festival doing the cycle tour. I always enjoyed being there. Unfortunately the Knysna municipality seems to be unable to keep the condition of the roads in an acceptable condition (in line with the general upkeep of infrastructure in most municipalities). Fortunately the food and landscape is still marvelous

    Knysna scenery is amazing, though would stay outside of Knysna when in the area again as prices for restuarants were very high. If you are in Knysna then visit the Knysna Elephant Park, here there is value for money and its supports the efforts of the park and its a wonderful experience.

    A winter trip to Knysna offers the opportunity to do some exploring and a lot of recharging. Exploring and eating our way around the area - going to the Heads Viewpoint, exploring Belvidere and the views to Brenton on Sea. Last year Knysna was also our base to explore Plett, Sedgefield and other areas. This year we spent more time in Knysna and more time relaxing too.

    This is not the place if you're expecting hotel standards and convenience. BUT if you want to experience the Knysna forest in a raw and beautiful way, this is definitely the place to be. Amazing walks and places to explore, places to swim and even a warm clay bath under the stars! The TP's are basic, but everything you need. Wood is delivered when needed at a very reasonable price and the staff was extremely helpful and always available. We will definitely be back again, 3 days wasn't enough to experience everything!
