Toller Gastgeber, nah am Strand

Derric ist ein toller Gastgeber. Viele Insider-Tipps. Die Lage ist ist toll. Wir hatten von unserem Zimmer direkten Meerblick. Der Strand ist nicht zu übertreffen. Frühstück wird nach Wunsch zubereitet. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Perfect Place to stay at the beach!

Our host, Joan, was very helpful and accommodating. Rooms are large, bright, and very comfortable. Located in a hilltop community 15 to 20 minutes from Knysna. Some rooms have partial ocean views. Property needs a handyman. Shower door not functioning properly, doors and windows sticking, But overall we would stay again. Be sure to have a fancy dinner one night down the road at Pembry’s

Supermysigt ställe strax utanför knysna. Stort och rent rum. Bra frukost! Nära havet och bra service från ägaren med tips om vad man kan göra i området. Vi kommer garanterat bo på samma ställe igen om vi är i närheten!

Derrick the owner was very friendly and he made some good local suggestions but the place was in need of some repairs . The breakfast was disappointing as they ran out of meat and bread 2 days plus the omelet had no ingredients . Charges for coffee pods etc were unnecessary. The property is a long walk to the beach .

Wonderful guest house close to a stunning beach.

The guest house was a wonderful surprise. Room spacious, beautifully decorated and great views and sounds of the sea. The owner was friendly, knowledgeable and gave great advise about thinks to do, see and where to eat. Wish we had stayed longer, and will hopefully return in the future.
