Our stay at Rest Inn Knysna was amazing! The space is beautifully decorated, very comfortable and inviting. There were bowls and treats made available for our dog, and he was also made to feel very welcome! :) Terry is an outstanding host, always checking in and making sure we were happy. She really does go the extra mile and goes out of her way to assist - even during an unexpected car crisis! 😉Highly recommend Rest Inn Knysna!

Terry
Totally private apartment which is owner serviced, cleaned and presented to guests with personal touches. Clean, comfy in the extreme, gorgeous linen and beds......peace and quiet in a lush garden setting - welcome and enjoy the outdoor life and the beautiful fresh air. As my mom used to say, "visiting with me is an experience", and I knew she always meant a great one! I prepare your accommodation as though you were also family arriving for a "spoil".
I am a creative person, and enjoy all art forms. I am known internationally as the person who created and made the "pictures inside cakes" method of baking. Having received an international award as the "most creative baker", I have had the honour of sending my lessons to practically every corner of the globe. From Alaska to Peru. I am well travelled, have lived in Mauritius where I ran a yacht charter business, and was also a well-known press photographer (in my youth!). I have lived a truly exciting and adventurous life, and can't wait to be able to share our stories.
Knysna is a small town, and is one of South Africa's safest places to live and holiday. I have personally lived on the property where your private apartment is situated, for 20 years, and have had a very safe and happy stay. Each new arrival of guests will find a letter that I have prepared for them, which outlines a few obvious pointers when travelling. I point out that we live a very carefree life here, and unlike big cities where one has to lock car doors and windows whilst on the road, we tend to let the fresh air in! As a suburb, Hunters Home is beautifully situated en-route to the Heads and Leisure Island. You will see the Pezula ridge from your Juliette balcony, and the Knysna Golf Course is truly just a stones throw away. A wonderful town for cyclists, with a specially built cycle track that starts near Hunters Home, and takes you past the lagoon and way out of town. A fabulous suburb to walk, enjoy the established trees, whilst most homes are exposed to the streets, allowing you to enjoy garden views. A paradise for adults, and total bliss for children.
