Irina Martens - the host and the owner of Ambiente Guest House
AMBIENTE Garden Cottage is a magical hideaway situated in a quiet and safe area in Hunters Home, such a great location, close to all the attractions, yet away from the crowds, very green and tranquil with all the flowers, trees and birds it feels like a paradise. We are very close to the lagoon, Knysna Golf course, Leisure Island and the Heads, 8-10 minutes drive to the Waterfront. Easy to find from the Main Road N2, secure off road parking and a private entrance. The Garden Cottage features 2 bedrooms with a bathroom in-between, one bedroom is with king size bed, the other bedroom has a bunk bed, flat-screen interment TV in the main bedroom, kitchen with a stove, an oven, microwave and fridge, a dining table with 4 chairs, all the cutlery and crockery. It is ideal for a family traveling with kids, parents and children share toilet/bathroom. The Cottage offers a terrace with a dinning table and 4 chairs. You may prepare B-B-Q outside.
Greetings, I am Irina, it's a huge privilege for me to share my newest accommodation in Knysna with you. After 18 years of living and working in Cape Town in a tourism industry, being a tour operator in Southern Africa I decided to move to Knysna and open a Guest House for you. After traveling a lot I’ve come to know what me, and other people, are looking for when they are away from home, so all my units (I have 4) have been designed to meet the high standards. I hope that my knowledge of tourism in South Africa will help me to give you the right advice during your trip.
If you would like to discover the area, windsurfing and fishing are possible in the surroundings. Beautiful beaches are in a short distance from the guest house. The nearest airport is Plettenberg Bay Airport, 32 km from the accommodation. We are 50 km away from George Airport. We speak English, German and Russian.
