Beautiful hotel conveniently situated close to the waterfront and restaurants. The standard double room was comfortable and spacious, with added features such as a coffee station and wi-fi. We were very pleased with the variety of breakfast options and had a delicious dinner at the Saltwater Bistro. The staff were friendly and service exceptional.

This hotel was absolutely gorgeous and I can just imagine how lovely it would be in the summer time around the pool area. Restaurant put on a very good breakfast and added extra touches for heritage day. The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Restaurant for dinner was a bit overpriced but it is well located and many other restaurants close by to choose from!

We arrived were a little early no greeting from the gentleman on the reception I think he thought he was doing us a favour . A lady said our room would be 30minutes so we sat in the reception, we asked the gentleman about a toilet he directed us to one which was a public toilets . When our room was ready we were shown to it & just around the corner was the hotel bar & restaurant would of been a much better place to sit and have a beer & maybe some lunch if it had been pointed out to us . Hotel was ok people in the restaurant & bar were lovely rooms were clean we were only staying 2 nights if you were staying longer a balcony room would be

Very nice clean and service friendly hotel only 5 minutes walk from Knysna marina. Close to all the restaurants and many attractions close to the hotel. Buffet breakfast is great. Great for business and leisure travel. Rooms are very clean with large king beds and a great walk-in shower. Downstairs, you have a Bistro that's serves not only breakfast but lunch and dinner too. Guarded parking in the hotel premises. And a pool too, although not heated, a great way to cool off after a hard day viewing the local sights or working.

My stay was presidential and even beyond that. I would like to applaude the hotel staff from the receptionists, security personnel, restaurant staff and cleaning staff for their exceptional hospitality. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Definitely would be back.
