The setting was idyllic, the grounds were beautiful and spacious. The Inn on site was great, being able to get a meal without going into the main town made our short stay more relaxing. Breakfast on the terrace was wonderful, in particular our waiter who was enthusiastic and eager to please. Also, the receptionist on duty when we arrived was very helpful (I wish I knew both of their names).

We weren’t able to book a twin room for the other couple in our party and had to book a double room for each of them. That was a bit of a disappointment and meant the cost was more expensive than expected.

The location was lovely and peaceful. The room was clean and well decorated with all the amenities we needed. Breakfast was lovely.

We stayed in the smaller cottages attached to the main house. As previously stated the cottage was lovely. However, there was a light on from the main house entrance hall that stayed on at night and came through the window as we were attached directly to the house. This made the room a little light, making it difficult to sleep

But: The impressive complex on a lagoon consists of spacious, excellently furnished cottages. The staff are extremely friendly and competent. Kneysa itself has little to offer as a small town, but Belvidere Manor is a gem!

The only weakness is the in-house restaurant: the location and the house make a particularly inviting impression. This is ruined when you order something to eat: you have to wait a long time, the food was extremely poor and the staff in the "Bell" were unwilling and untrained.

Staff was great, especially Nane who has true hospitality in her blood. We had an entire villa, great location just out of the busy Knysna. Lovely pool. And a nice pub/restaurant on site. Great for kids! Lots of space and safe.

- no airconditioning - had to pay extra for cappuccino in an included breakfast - bird droppings at the pool, which were not removed regularly.

Excellent accommodation (cottage 13), well kept grounds, clean swimming pool. Good location next to lagoon.

The only disappointment was the food at The Bell, and they only had one beer on tap. The food came in pre-prepared little dishes, didn't appear freshly cooked. Even if it cost a little more, it would be great to have a good quality restaurant in such a lovely setting.

Belvidere is the place to stay when visiting Knysna. The property is huge and there is loads of space to move around in. The views of the lake and of Knysna are out of this world. The pool in the middle of the lawn and the Bell bistro on site will keep you entertained.

Our stay was only for one day.

The Breakfast Menu had what I enjoy as a breakfast, so, was very enjoyable. Lovely View from the outside veranda, whilst having breakfast in the early morning sun. Friendly, willing to please staff.

Could not get the TV to work properly or at all. Intermittent Wifi at times. No further comments

Exceptional stay! The staff were friendly and accommodating. Apartment was clean, comfortable, and modern. Highly recommend. Great location, and delicious breakfast. Will definitely return. Outstanding service and amenities. Felt right at home. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Stunning views.Thank you for the memories.

Location is wonderful, peaceful, tranquil, relaxing. Breakfast was generous, cooked fresh, nice variety on offer. Great pub restaurant on site if you don’t want to self cater. Our cottage was very comfortable with everything required for a week of rest and relaxation

Beautiful grounds and spatial house. Great breakfast included. Safe and tranquil surroundings. We saw the Knysna Loerie and plenty of other birds.

I only wish we could afford to stay longer. Its is quite expensive, but I felt it was really worth it as a treat.
