Breakfast options for our group of 7 adults and 2 children was very satisfying. From the self-service cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, toast, coffee to numerous warm dishes prepared by the friendly staff, we found this the perfect beginning of two busy days. Our rooms were spacious, clean, well appointed, plenty of electrical outlets etc etc. The ceiling fan was very welcomed given warmer outside temps and any traffic noise was hardly noticed with windows closed and the fan on. The 25 minute walk to many shops and restaurants did the car-weary legs lots of good!

The tight, winding drive approach to the property was challenging the first time up but given the less than adequate parking at many local hotels, i'll take the challenge presented here any day! There were plenty of parking spots in close proximity to the room once at the building level . My one grandchild was disappointed that we couldn't stay longer!

We loved our stay at this beautiful guesthouse. The owner couple were lovely and the rooms and facilities beautiful with an amazing view over the lagoon! The breakfast was delicious and the service excellent! We would love to come back and can highly recommend this guesthouse! The location was also great with only a few minutes walking distance to the Waterfront area. Helene & Dan from Sweden

Can't think of anything! The owners have managed to transform this guesthouse to perfection!

We received a warm welcome, the room was very comfortable. Conveniently close to everything. Access to kitchen facilities was provided upon request. Superb views of the lagoon! Wonderful hosts!

The smell of fresh paint in the bathroom was a bit overpowering, but perhaps the wet weather had not allowed much time for airing.

We loved our 2 days in Knysna and one of the many highlights was the stay at Phoenix Lodge. I don't think another property has this view of the Knysna Heads as this place does. Sunrises here are mesmerizing and I can't wait to come back. Breakfast was delicious! This is definitely the place to choose in Knysna

EVERYTHING. 1. love the guesthouse' interiors. It is homey it has everything we needed even to cook our own meals and at the same time provides the holiday ambience. The place is very neat. 2. spectacular views of the knysna lagoon and the knysna heads. 3. convenient location, with the waterfront being a stone throw away and shops are also in close proximity. 4. amazing perfectly cooked breakfast every single morning. thanks to the chef. 5. the rooms are noise proof. we stayed in room 1 right by the entrance and it all worked out to our advantage with convenience to offload our luggages but never has any noise bothered us. 6. very welcoming friendly and helpful hosts. Our hosts were very hands on so we only got the best service.

Nothing. It's a challenge to point out anything to improve at this establishment.

More importantly is the sea view. There was a choice of variety when it comes to restaurant in the area. Wifi was working well.

It was cold maybe a eletric blanket can do

The traffic from early already it wakes you up. And the mattress was not very comfortable.
