November 2022

The room was an excellent size and the general facilities were on point. The hotel itself and room felt very special and private with a beautiful view. The hotel was in a good location for getting into Knysna as long as you're driving. The staff were great, particularly the porters who couldn't do any more for you. We would return.

As good as the bathroom facilities were they were a little tired and so were some aspects of the room, such as the carpet. The hotel lobby was very impressive and gave a good impression but walk downstairs to the restaurant and things also become a bit tired. The restaurant wasn't what we expected, not a spot for a nice dinner and it shows with the quality of food/ the dress code and behaviour of some of the other customers. The breakfast buffet was also limited.

The room had an amazing view , was big , great shower , the spa facility and indoor pool was a dream ... and their sumptuous breakfast with a view was just amazing ... and the bar was very relaxing , the decor , had classic bikes , boats etc. This was an amazing property and will definitely come back .

The carpet in the room is dated , me and My son suffer from sinus so we struggled ... they should replace the carpets with wooden floor or tiles ... The menu from the restaurant is very limited ...and did not appreciate not having bacon , pork ribs or sausages ... this was a major negative ... We are in South Africa and not Saudi Arabia , so we enjoy our bacon and pork ribs ... they should reconsider the decision to exclude them from the menu ... does not make sense.

Everything🌸🌸 the place is very beautifully inside out. The rooms are spacious. It really felt like home away from home. Oh Nkosi at reception 👌👌👌 excellent customer service and Siya @ the restaurant (1st impression). All the staff were good and the food was delicious. Gym facility and Spa as well👌👌 I enjoyed them Oh yes I also didn’t see the baboons which was a plus for me 😂😂 as I saw other reviews where people were complaining about them coming to their rooms. Overall it was good stay despite the house keeping issues.

The lady who was responsible to clean room 16 and 15 on the 2nd, 3rd of Jan 2025 if I remember very well. If I were to write it’s a lot but please management. Have a talk with her. The cleaning, linen not being changed etc. complains were laid and it was sorted. The carpet in room 16 was stuffy. I went through a serious episode of sneezing and blocked nose. Please have a look on the carpet or put wooden floor in all the rooms. Room 16 eish🤦‍♀️on Friday the toilet drain started to smell and whole room started to stink until maintenance guy came to put some chemicals. Inspect and Service all booked rooms prior to customer arrivals🙏

The location is stunning and the staff are very friendly.

The fact that the barman is a man alone in the bar and lounge is unacceptable. The barman, should not be taking food orders, serving food, making and serving drinks for the entire lounge, bar and restaurant. Due to this, we sat at the bar for 20 minutes without anyone knowing we were even there due to him being in the back restocking the bar. Having just one waiter with him would have made a difference. The barman was great and a job well done. He was professional and courteous all the while doing 20 things at once.

Exceptional , I absolutely enjoyed my stay , the facilities are beautiful , food was also nice and staff are so friendly and attentive , special thanks to Mr Bradley and the other staff members who gave us such a warm welcome From the porters who assisted us from getting to our room and to the reception to the waitresses who were also so friendly Me and my partner also enjoyed our spa treatments

The only thing I would recommend is a stronger aircon and stronger heater during winter , the rooms are quite big so it takes a long time to warm the room

The place is very relaxing. The spa services are great. The staff were very friendly. The rooms were spacious.

The only restaurant closes at 9 and there is no in room service. This is not very convenient specially that the hotel is located on top of a mountain where there is no nearby restaurants. The food options in the hotel was ok. The only way to accommodate kids is through booking 2 rooms. Although they are connected, the rooms are spacious enough for a crib.

Stunning location and beautiful rooms.

Breakfast was disappointing. Limited options on the menu. Resorted to going out for breakfast. Room service is a waste of money.

The room was lovely and breakfast divine. Dinner was very special on the balcony with fire going.

Room had had baboons in it and food all eaten. couldnt figure out the lights. Only 1 gown in each bedroom. No slippers in the 1 room. Rooms were far apart. Door to the 2 bedroom -outer door did not look and felt unsafe as couldnt keep my children locked in their room but the main door didnt lock so we had to leave doors all unlocked. the staff brought gowns to us at 10:30 pm which was way too late for us.
