Christa & Hentie were excellent hosts! From the minute we arrived they were so attentive, friendly and hospitable. The rooms are comfortable and the view over the bay from our room was stunning. What a treat to enjoy a truly fantastic breakfast served out on our balcony too 100% recommend a stay here, you will be truly looked after and the accommodation is in walking distance of the waterfront. Thank you for a lovely stay!

After a really warm welcome Christa gave us some useful recommendations where to go and made a reservation for dinner for us. We had a great time in Knysna as well as in the guest house with its nice rooms and wonderful service (including laundry service). We highly recommend this accommodation with the most lovely hosts we ever had!

We are currently staying at this lovely guest house and as many others have reviewed Christa gave us a warm welcome on arrival and our stay has been ideal. Walking distance to the town and the waterfront. Our room is huge and leads out onto a lovely balcony with super views over the lagoon! Breakfast was served in the dining room and was fabulous! Thankyou Christa and Hentie

Great service by amazing staff. We had a great experience. Keep up the good work. I had the best coffee in all of SA. I recommend South Villa of Knysna as it is such a peaceful, relaxing and a well situated place. It is close to the city center, easy to reach and has all that you would need for a wonderful experience.

Christa and Hentie were incredibly welcoming and went more than the extra mile to make sure our group had a memorable two days in Knysna. The accommodation and breakfasts were excellent and the location quiet but convenient for the town centre.

Christa welcomed us with a lovely smile to a clean and pleasant guesthouse. Our room was bright and airy and it lead on to a balcony that overlooked the Knysna lagoon and heads. The guesthouse is located within walking distance to the Knysna town centre and the ferry port from which you can board a ferry to the Featherbed Nature Reserve. We watched a gorgeous sunset and then an amazing sunrise the next morning from our balcony. Breakfast on both days was delicious, it was beautifully presented and served on the balcony. We enjoyed our chats with our friendly hosts Christa and Hentie and felt sad leaving their lovely guesthouse after two nights. Well done Christa and Hentie!
