Family-friendly Hotels in Knysna

Really a perfect hotel. It is called a turbine hotel, because the original site of the hotel is a power certer. But now it is converted into a hotel, the turbines and other equipment in the original factory are all preserved, and the decoration is improved. It is very small and fresh. Our room is located on the third floor (the second floor of South Africa). The room has a balcony facing the lagoon, and the scenery outside is super invincible. On the other side of the bathroom you can see the lake shore and the mountains on the other side. This hotel has almost become one of our attractions in knysna. The front desk is welcoming and you can also make a free wine tasting at the spa, reception location. We fell in love with the sherry in it, and the 200R bottle is about 100 RMB, which is very good. It is also very close to the lake, and it is less than five minutes by car. The price is too high.

We stayed at the Moorings for 2 nights. Unfortunately, the first night there was no water, which would have been useful information at check-in. On the positive side, the rooms are spacious & reasonably comfortable (although furniture showing fatigue) with lock-out suites available. The shower in the bathroom was ridiculously small and difficult to access. Large soaker tub but, with water issues, unuseable. Toilets are impossibly low, with no grab bars. The restaurant was buffet only, but the food was very good and lots of variety for breakfast and dinner. The grounds offered a swimming pool and comfortable looking furniture, but weather prevented us enjoying it. Cozy bar available off the dining room. The hotel is some distance from the town, so not easily walkable. It looks like it was designed as a timeshare that wasn’t able to sell sufficient units. If it wasn’t booked for us by our tour company, I wouldn’t choose it.

We booked a room with a king-size bed and were given a room with a queen-size bed. The room had a lot of hair on the floor and didn't look very clean. The welcome gift as a gold member was also missing. Various items ran out at breakfast and were no longer available. As the hotel only has two rooms with a king-size bed, the owner (Lesego) promised to refund us the difference in the room price. To date, the amount has not been refunded and we have not received a reply to emails or Whatsapp regarding the outstanding refund. This all points to a very dubious management, which is why we can only advise not to book this hotel.
