Everything about this property was amazing. The views. The cottages. The bathtub. The showers. The breakfast. The staff. Everything was top notch. Would definitely stay back there again.

The wifi didn't work the whole time I was there so I had to deduct a point. There were issues due to storms in the area at the time.

Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und komfortabel. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist atemberaubend, nur die Straße vielleicht etwas lauter. Störte uns aber nicht großartig. Das Duschwasser war mal kalt mal heiß, vielleicht lag es auch an der Wasserknappheit in der Region. Aber für die tägliche Dusche völlig ausreichend. Auch der Pool war sehr sauber und die Liegen bequem. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und immer gut gelaunt. Sehr zu empfehlen.

"Stunning views and world-class hospitality from Fish made this an unforgettable Knysna getaway."

The room was absolutely beautiful and offered a breathtaking view that made it hard to leave. However, the true highlight was our host, Fish. He was incredibly friendly and attentive, looking after every little detail to ensure our stay was perfect. His hospitality really made us feel at home.

Honestly, nothing at all—our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

Der Bungalow, das Badezimmer, die Terrasse das Restaurant, das Essen, die Nähe zu Knysna und das PERSONAL 🎉

Der einzigste kleine Wermutstropfen ist, dass man je nach Wind die Strasse trotz grosser Entfernung gut hört.
