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.

What an amazing location. The most beautiful spot in Knysna. You have beautiful views of the ocean and the lagoon. Breakfast was included and on site and was absolutely delicious. While having breakfast and overlooking the lagoon we planned our day with the help of Lana, the most wonderful and gracious host - before we knew it she assisted us with making a booking on the most amazing catamaran experience which goes through the entry way between the heads. I am in two minds about giving feedback on the room because I would love nothing more than to gatekeep it forever but omg! You must book the deluxe executive room the one that overlooks the entry point where ocean meets lagoon it is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much to Lana and the ladies for making our stay so memorable! We will definitely be back! We miss you all like you are family! Special shootout to "liefie" the doggo who was the hostest with the mostest for sure!

David the owner is the sweetest man who went out of his way to assist me. Isaac, who works there, is very sweet and welcoming. The accommodation is absolutely stunning beyond words. The room is beautifully designed in every way possible, along with an extremely comfy room, spottless, sparkling clean, neat, and surroundings, with a fabulous private balcony, such a treat. The view from the balcony is out of this world with a stunning garden. The location is so special and very peaceful and quiet.....what a pleasure. I highly recommend 14 Mount Joy so do not miss your opportunity to book your room here anytime. Michelle (Israel).

    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.
