Guest Reviews

• Ann-Christine (10/5): - Nice and spacious apartment. Location is amazing.
• Martha Bradley (7/5): - Great location, right on the waterfront, close to restaurant and bars. Large apartment with large terrace. Communicated via WhatsApp our arrival time which was after normal check in time. We were not told this would be a problem and we're told to inform via WhatsApp at a certain point on the drive from the airport so we could be met with the keys. We informed them at this point and then again on arrival however it took almost another 30 minutes with messaging and unanswered voice calls for anyone to arrive. Met with some rudeness to both us and our driver on arrival suggesting that we should not have checked in later than the check in time. I would be very wary doing this as a solo traveller in case this would reoccur.
• Julia (9/5): Lovely apartment, great location, would stay again. - Loved the location on the waterfront. Secure parking, nice balcony . Having a washer and dryer is such a bonus when you’re travelling around. The bath was great , plenty of hot water . Air conditioning is a bonus. Great communication from Faith . Small bed , no wine glasses, no chopping knives. Too much furniture, 2 settees and 2 big armchairs for 2 people made it feel crowded.
• Kirstin (9/5): Sehr zu empfehlende Unterkunft für Ausflüge in die tolle Umgebung - Tolles Apartment mit schönem Balkon direkt an der Waterfront. Perfekte Lage um abends das Auto stehen lassen zu können, viele nette Restaurants in fussläufiger Entfernung. Großer Tiefgaragenstellplatz. AC hat nicht ganz so funktioniert wie vorgesehen, hat eher gelüftet statt gekühlt (trotz entsprechender Einstellung), war aber noch ok (25 Grad Raumtemperatur trotz eingestellter 20 oder weniger; draußen waren über 30…)
• Mary (8/5): Nice stay in a great location with loads of bars and restaurants nearby - Right on the waterfront with a huge balcony. The bed was a bit small just a standard double, this was due to the bedroom being small
• Sonja.B (10/5): - Bezauberndes Apartment, bestens ausgestattet mit großer sonniger Terrasse in optimaler Lage. Perfekte Betreuung vor und während des Aufenthalts!
• Helga (7/5): Viel Positives , einiges verbesserungswürdig - Sehr positiv war: Die Lage in der Waterfront direkt gegenüber 34 South. Ab 22 Uhr war Ruhe. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Waschmaschine und Trockner in der Wohnung haben wir gerne genutzt. Zur Wohnung gehört ein Garagenplatz. Das ist bei Hitze oder schlechtem Wetter ein Riesenvorteil. Grundsätzlich ist das Preis-, Leistungsverhältnis gut. Auch die Kommunikation mit Faith war unkompliziert und angenehm. Das Haus ist sehr hellhörig. Sesselrücken von oben, Badgeräusche von nebenan...Die Einrichtung der Wohnung ist zweckmässig, aber schon in die Jahre gekommen. Im Bad gibt es nur die Badewanne mit Vohang zum Duschen. Die Toilettenspülung ist extrem laut. Abfluss der Küchenspüle sieht provisorisch fixiert aus. Daher riecht der Schrank unangenehm. Stühle am Balkon passen in der Höhe nicht zum Tisch.
• Melanie Sarah (10/5): The most wonderful mini-break at a fantastic venue. We will certainly be back. - Phenomenal location, wonderful welcome and excellent assistance. Although we were in a central and lively location, this was also very peaceful without disturbances. We would have liked to have stayed longer! Our stay was unfortunately very short due to our own time constraints. The weather could have been better :-) But let's be honest - it was mid winter! haha!
• Valerie (9/5): Central apartment - Central apartment with nice deck. The deck doesn’t get any direct sunlight, so can’t use it for sun bathing. Should be a welcome pack of T, coffee & milk together with cooking staples like oil, salt and pepper. Every other accommodation we stayed in had these items. The apartment itself is fabulous.
• Brock (8/5): Sheernest - Great location and the secure parking excellent. The balcony view was lovely The curtains in the bedroom had an awful odour of mildew which made us feel uncomfortable.
• Kaylin (10/5): Exceptional - Stunning apartment. Beautiful view. Everything was clean and the handover was super smooth. Loved it, felt like home!
• Christiaan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (9/5): Fantastic location watching the world go by on the large comfortable terrace right in the centre of Knysna waterfront - The location was fantasic with a large terrace onto the waterfront. The welcome from Faith was exceptional. The parking and security felt very safe and we had an easy walk to Thisen Island. I guess the bedroom and kitchen were slightly tired but very clean with good linens & given the incredible location it was extremely good value for money. We loved the Dry Dock restaurant and 34 South, Knysna Heads, the swimmable beach at Buffalo Bay and East Head Cafe. Leisure Island is beautiful, a very special stay.
• William (8/5): Very good -
• Kathy (10/5): We stayed for 2 nights and had a bbq on the veranda for both nights even though it rained the whole time we were there. - The location was brilliant on the quays, 34 degrees south has a lovely deli where we got our supplies,major supermarkets close by and quirky shops. The apartment was very nice too. Nothing
• Sanjay (10/5): Exceptional -
• Celeste (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location. The apartment was exceptionally clean and we were received very well.
• Alan (10/5): Enjoyable - Everything
• Jim (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location and secure parking . Glorious balcony Nothing
• Andrews (10/5): Perfect stay, close to everything. - Loved how it was central to all the main areas. Restaurants on the door step (without noise from them). Walkable the Thesen island. Also close to all good running spots. Faith was incredible and so helpful. She is brilliant and has the welcome I to the apartment so welcoming There are no toiletries, so bring your own shower gel and shampoo.
• Alex (10/5): A thoroughly enjoyable experience - Location, facilities,comfort level Nothing
• Paul (9/5): Superb -
• Leonard (8/5): We loved our two days stay. Perfect location. Hostess Faith made booking in and out easy. - Location was perfect Did not have breakast No starter Tea, coffee and milk available after long trip Access to DST, Net flix, etc not available without sign in.... we are overseas visitors and don't have subscriptions, so TV useless. Check out time at 9am is not acceptable. There should be a little soap powder for the washing machine.... cant travel with these things.
• Allison (10/5): Exceptional -
• Philip (7/5): Good - Location Clean Safety Tv(no dstv) Utensils could be better
• Andre (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome location and very neat unit. They must really think of another option for the key collection and delivery. I had to wait for 15 minutes for the lady to arrive. When we checked out I had to wait again. I wanted to leave earlier in the morning but could not due to the delivery of the keys. Also, the extractor fan in the bathroom runs 24/7 and uses a lot of electricity and is seriously irratating even with the door closed.
• Bonita (7/5): Good -
• Adeeb (8/5): Very good -
• Bedwill (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nobuntu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nicolaas (8/5): Very good - Location could not be better. Cleaners were very loud during the day. No DSTV or international news channels.
• Julia (9/5): Stop over on way to visit family - Apartment was beautiful and well equipped. Details of loadshedding made very clear. Faith was a great host and met us on arrival at the entrance to the quays. Secure parking underneath with direct access to the flat via stairs. Easy walk to the restaurants and shops, short drive to some lovely beaches. Bedroom faced away from the quays so was quiet There was a school water polo tournament taking place while we were there which meant that the balcony was noisy during the day albeit with happy noise
• Harcus (10/5): Exceptional - The location, the unit, the amazingly comfortable bed. The lounge decor could use some updating.
• Des (8/5): Great location and close proximity to restaurants/ shops.Enjoyed interacting with local people. - Self catering unit. Visited local coffee shops for breakfasts. Pretty standard choices. Prices reasonable!
• Miquetta (9/5): Superb -
• Deon (9/5): Very peaceful. Hosts are great people - The peaceful surroundings. Hosts very helpful.
• Abdul (8/5): Very good -
• Mairi (10/5): Fabulous apartment, great location. - We loved our time in Sheer Nest, a lovely, neat apartment. Great location within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and to enjoy long leisurely walks. Loved sitting on the patio, sipping on bubbly, watching the boat's going through the Quays. Will definitely book again. Never enough time😉
