    We booked an air bnb in Knysna that was completely trashed and not as advertised. I quickly called Simola and talked to Sedrick who quickly found a room that would accommodate my party last second for a couple nights while we were visiting. By far the best customer service I have ever received, and will be back in the future for a much longer trip. Everyone in my party was in love with this accommodation. Bravo!

    Oh, what a beautiful facility! This place was so unique; a real find in the middle of a forest! It was like staying in someone’s luxurious treehouse home. The staff was lovely. The rooms were spacious and elegantly appointed; the food was delicious. Must be seen to be believed. What a treasure!

    Great staff, great location, within a walking distance from a number of restaurants. Spacious and safe parking. Breakfast was nice too. I also like how the handle to control the shower is not right under it, so you get a chance to adjust the water temperature without getting frozen or burnt =)

    The owners, they were most helpful in pointing out things to do and best ways to get there, both of them were very knowledgeable of the area. The breakfast was very satisfying. The room was always very clean after coming back from a day out. Would stay there again in a heartbeat.

    We really enjoyed our time in Knysna, we had several activities planned and these were all fantastic. The restaurants in the tare great, there are loads of options. The town itself is quite busy and buzzing, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday this might not be the best option.

    A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.

    A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.

    Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.

    Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow dogs. So you can't eat in many places as no arrangements were made to accomodate dog owners. Some beaches banned dogs completely, even on a leash. I found this attitude very short sighted and unpleasant.

    Buffelsbaai is a unpolished gem and the ocean and surroundings brings a special kind of calm to your soul that is not easy to put pen to paper about! it is beyond your imagination! We wandered around and did the Buffels Bay Hiking Trail and had something to drink at the Beach Restaurant and the people attending to our needs went out of their way to be so very kind and attentive. Buffels Bay is very easy to get around to and everything is SO neat and well kept!!

    Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town.

    Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town. It can get very busy in season but an absolute pleasure out of season. Beaches are exquisite and there are plenty of activities in and around for couples and families. Must recommend the Waffling Whale at Formosa - food is delicious and the staff are amazing. If you want brilliant coffee you need to visit the Sotto's Deli!
