Knysna Log-Inn Hotel
8.3 (67 reviews)

Knysna Log-Inn Hotel ★★★★

📍 16 Gray St, Knysna Central, Knysna

"I intend to visit this hotel in the near future. The hotel is near the different shopping centers and waterfront. "

The Lofts Boutique Hotel
9.1 (59 reviews)

The Lofts Boutique Hotel ★★★★

📍 Long St, Thesen Island, Knysna

"We have stayed here for three years in a row and each year we have increased our stay duration by a day. We now stay for four days and thoroughly enjoy the set up at the Lofts. All you need in terms of drinks and food are on hand in the hotel however there is a real openness to have the same at outlets in the immediate vicinity. This is largely achieved by the architecture of the historic building. Each time we arrive we find a new innovation: this years supply of bottles of Corona for sundown was much appreciated!"

8.1 (43 reviews)

The Russel Hotel ★★★

📍 Cnr Unity &, Long St, Knysna

Brenton on Sea Cottages ★★★★

📍 242 State President C R Swart Rd, Brenton-on-Sea

"The facilities are neat, clean and spacious. The rooms have more than adequate cupboard for clothes, something one does not always find in holiday rooms. The view could not be better! Gardens, steps, handrails, braai areas, swimming pool are all in full working order and well maintained. Access to the beach is within walking area, which eliminate driving and finding parking space! Excellent family holiday facility."

Pezula Nature Retreat
9.2 (65 reviews)

Pezula Nature Retreat ★★★★★

📍 Lagoon View Dr, Sparrebosch, Knysna

"I travelled with a group of golfing friends and stayed in Room 16 from 10 to 14 April 2026. We all thoroughly enjoyed visiting Knysna in general and Pezula in particular. As a returning guest, I noticed management's attention to detail and dedication to maintenance (well done!). It is always great to see so many familiar friendly faces among the staff, which shows that they are well trained and properly looked after. Pezula remains a world-class golfing destination with plenty on offer for non-golfers too. The hotel runs like a well-oiled machine while still retaining a personal touch... and nothing beats those views! A massive thanks to Reinhardt and his team for another wonderful stay. We'll definitely be back soon."

The Russel Hotel ★★★
"I stayed one night at Russell Hotel. I’m actually a Knysna local but moved out of my house and was inbeween moving. Busi is amazing!! The Lady at the front desk… she actually does everything… checked me in, took me to my room, explained everything, greeted me by name when I arrived and in the morning when I came down for breakfast. She helped me carry my bags & she organized breakfast for me. What a super star employee!! Happy, friendly, helpful. The Russell Hotel is blessed to have her. The room was lovely… breakfast included always a bonus 😊😊 Yay for Busi!!"

Hide-Away Guest House ★★★★
"Lovely host! Great to be given so much of her time and knowledge-made the stay so much better than a faceless hotel where we just get checked in. This is after all a guesthouse and not the Four Seasons! Meant too, that we did not wasted our limited time in the area because what we did was quality. We enjoyed a large room right by the pool with a splendid view. Good toiletries and nice robes! Breakfast a good balance between healthy and holiday treats if you succumb! Although we never had time to use it, the honesty bar and snacks is a great idea. Thank you."

Orange Inn Knysna ★★★★
"It was a very lovely place. The hostess Rose was kind and welcoming. We loved watching the sunset together on the balcony. And enjoyed breakfast together. One of those places that make you prefer to stay inn instead of going out into town. Thank you very much! Susanna"
