This is without a doubt the best& most amazing place we have ever stayed on our trip to SA. Not only the location , but a beautiful so well appointed apt in every way & the couple that own & run it. Not only providing a glorious cozy apt but helped us plan sights , Resturants , sunsets , hikes for us who have never visited their country…. How lucky were we to find them& we will never forget them or their hospitality.

    We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
