The hotel breakfast was very good. The view was awe inspiring. The room had great coffee available. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Brown eyed manager was really patient with my grandmother and really professional. Loadshedding was a bit of a problem because in the middle of the night the generator switched of and Gran couldn't make it to the bathroom in the dark. The bathroom ventilation was a bit of a problem and the room air conditioner didn't work. For the price I would say it was reasonable but improvements can be made in terms of small helper lights on the stairs. The swimming pool is heated and looks out onto the stars which was awe inspiring to see. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We didn’t stay at the hotel but it does look Stunning. We had dinner the restaurant . The view at sunset was beautiful . We sat on the terrace by the pool with our drinks and watched the sun disappearing while our meal was being prepared. The restaurant had an open kitchen, the smells coming from the kitchen were fabulous, the chef was superb. Prices very reasonable indeed. Waiting staff, and Jordan very polite , friendly & professional

The location of the hotel is excellent with a beautiful view of the bay opposite. The service was very attentive, thanks to Jordan and the whole team! We felt very comfortable and the hotel meets all requirements of a small 5 star boutique Hotel in every respect. The food in the restaurant is excellent and definitely worth recommending. We will come back!

An amazing vacation for my husband and I. The hosts John and Chanel, the hotel manager Jordan as well as the whole team were superb. The room was clean with attention to every detail. The views of the heads are spectacular. We had a great new years party at the hotel and once checked in we didn't want to leave. We enjoyed many swims in the sparkling, rim flow pool as well as wining and dining. Jordan went the extra mile to make sure that all our needs were taken care of. We definitely want to return asap!

I had booked over a month in advance for a Family trip, since we had 4 I ended up booking the presidential suite for the view and space. When we got there we were informed a party was happening so we could not eat in the restaurant and they would be using the main level. It made us feel so uncomfortable we stayed in our room only leaving to go out to eat. We left first thing in the morning, manager was unable to be found so left our keycard with the chef. We didn’t even stay for the breakfast so I can’t comment on that.

Views: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Room:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic stay at The Mount Knysna, which is a small, boutique hotel close to the viewpoint of the two heads. Staff are attentive and the hotel is homely. We were slightly early for check in which was accommodated without mention, and check out was smooth and efficient. Definitely do catch dinner at Second Story, and dig into the hotel’s very good South African wine cellar. We caught a movie at the in house movie theatre, with freshly popped popcorn, drinks and snacks. Breakfast every morning was such a treat too. The pool is heated with a spectacular view of the lagoon. Uber works well in Knysna but we hired a car, and the hotel has free parking. A quaint hotel with personal touches brought by the lovely staff!
