Guest Reviews
- Dinca (10/5): - We had absolutely wonderful stay! The setting is stunning and so peaceful, making it the perfect getaway. It's incredibly family-friendly, Shannon was amazing and even brought out toys for the kids, which they loved. My kids played till late with her kids, they enjoyed themselves 💞We enjoyed every single second of our time here and will definitely be back!
- Nivan (10/5): Unexpectedly wonderful - very very pleased with the set up and comfort - The place is beautiful and so serene, with the resident pets, Jessie and company running around and oh so cute and friendly - my kids had a blast
It is like a home away from home but still luxurious, clean and modern Everything was perfect! No complaints at all
- Alizwa (10/5): -
- Mary (10/5): -
- Petersen (10/5): -
- Zinzile (10/5): This place is amazing, and the hosts and staff are fantastic! - The place is in great shape! John and Shannon really went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable with their wonderful hospitality and helpful recommendations for the local attractions. We absolutely loved the market. Their house is incredibly clean, and the furniture is thoughtfully chosen to match their taste. I’d definitely return to this place—it’s incredibly quiet, and I definitely needed a well-deserved break. None
- Alexandra (9/5): Sehr schöne und gepflegte Unterkunft, absolut zum Wohlfühlen und tolle, hilfsbereite Gastgeber! - Sehr hilfsbereite, freundliche und sympathische Gastgeber. Alles extrem sauber und gepflegt. Jeden Tag wurde alles gereinigt und aufgeräumt. Sehr kinderfreundlich und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter.
Die Frühstückskörbe sind fantastisch und sehr liebevoll zubereitet.
Super Lage, um Ausflüge zu machen und die Gegend zu erkunden! Wir haben uns sehr sicher und wohl gefühlt. Falls es sehr heiß ist, würde eine Klimaanlage fehlen. Es gibt allerdings mobile Ventilatoren/Lüftungsgeräte.
- Olivier (9/5): Very beautiful, quiet stay with wonderful owners and good personnel - The ample room is tastefully decorated, modern with an African touch. Situated in a green and quiet valley not too far from the city centre of Knysna. Small pool with amenities to relax peacefully, very nice. Fantastic breakfasts on demand and lots of proposals and incentives for things to do around Knysna which was helpful. Our bedroom was a bit far from the washroom but this is a minor issue. Some of the rooms had a terrace, ours not.
- Porchia (10/5): My stay was marvelous and the host Shannon was so accommodating. - I liked everything. The room was exceptional and the fact that I could have my breakfast in bed was awesome. I loved that there is a gas stove I can use. It was so peaceful all around the property.
The breakfast was very nice. Shannon gave me all the information to make my stay nice and easy to navigate the surroundings. Nothing.
- Mabsta (9/5): - The facilities are great and clean. The staff and the host are very kind. The swimming pool is 10/10 Poor network and no extraction fan
- Diane (8/5): The owner is very helpful and we had a wonderful welcome. The staff are wonderful and brilliant at what they do - Secure quiet area. Private and well maintained It has some facilities for kids but you’ll have to keep a close eye on a toddler with parts of the gardens
- Mopo (10/5): -
- Christian (10/5): - Die Anlage ist sehr liebevoll gestaltet und alles ist in einem tollen Zustand. Die Häuser sind perfekt mit allem ausgestattet und sehr durchdacht gestaltet. Die beiden Besitzer John und Shannon tun wirklich alles dafür um einem den perfekten Aufenthalt zu bereiten (kostenloses Strandequipment, Kinderpielzeug in der Unterkunft etc.). Das hat uns wirklich sehr gefallen. Tolle Tipps für die Umgebung gibt es natürlich auch noch dazu. Alles in allem eine sehr schöne Unterkunft die ich jedem empfehlen kann.
- Mark (10/5): A spotless, 5-star stay with thoughtful touches—highly recommended in Knysna. - Our entire stay felt like a true 5-star experience. Everything was exceptionally clean, with an incredible attention to detail that did not go unnoticed.
What made our visit even more special was the thoughtful gesture of providing extra toys for our one-year-old son. Little touches like that made us feel truly welcome and were greatly appreciated.
I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Knysna. We had a wonderful experience and would gladly return!
- Mathias (9/5): - Die gesamte Anlage war toll Nichts
- Rishabh (1/5): - Clean 1 washroom for 2 rooms and greedy owner - didn’t inform us about any charges for drinking water and charge 450 rands additional for the same.
- Christina (10/5): Grandiose Unterkunft - top sauber und komfortabel! - Wir hatten eine fantastische Zeit im Tonquani Private Estate und können es absolut weiter empfehlen. Die Unterkunft ist 1000% sauber, alles ist mit ganz viel Liebe zum Detail ausgestattet und von der Inhaberin Shannon gibt es viele tolle Tipps für Ausflüge und Restaurants. Das flexibel buchbare Frühstück ist ebenfalls mit so viel Liebe gemacht und absolut fantastisch. Die Lage ist top, da man ruhig etwas außerhalb des Ortes wohnt und dennoch in 5min an der Waterfront ist.
- Xiaowen (9/5): -
- Joanna (10/5): Wunderschöner Stop auf unserer Reise - Die Inhaber und ihr Team haben eine schöne Oase geschaffen: Ruhe und Erholung pur sind hier möglich! Alle geben sich größte Mühe, einen tollen Urlaub zu erleben und so sind Freundlichkeit, Sauberkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft wirklich groß geschrieben!
Wir reisten mit kleinem Baby und es gab auf unserer Reise keine Unterkunft, die so viel dafür geboten hat: bequemes Babybett, Spielzeug und sogar Badewanne - das war nicht selbstverständlich. Für die Erwachsenen gibt es obendrauf noch viele Ausflugstipps, es braucht also keine Vorbereitung :)
Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und wären gerne noch länger geblieben… Da gibt es nichts :)
- Tereso (9/5): 10/10 stay and hosts! - The location is great! The stay was even better! Shannon and Daniel are by far the best hosts! They made sure to equip us with an itinerary everyday. The groundstaff were so friendly, they would clean our place while we were away which was so nice.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone from couples, friends to families!
The stay was 10/10!
- Justus (9/5): -
- Johann (10/5): Een absolute topper - Het was een super verblijf van 6 dagen in een uitermate fraai en volledig ingericht, zeer comfortabel appartement. Het was brandschoon en had dagelijks onderhoud. De bedden lagen uitstekend. Wij hadden zelf-catering maar een eventueel ontbijt zou mogelijk geweest zijn. De ligging van Tonquani is net buiten Knysna (de wijk Welbedacht) in een zeer fraaie omgeving. Het zwembad heeft goede ligbedden. Shannon was een bijzonder hartelijke en behulpzame gastvrouw. Het is een absolute aanrader en een terugkeer zeker waard geen negatieve bevindingen
- Michaela Ashley (10/5): This experience was extremely memorable. - The location was beautiful and so peaceful.
The food was divine.
The space was ALWAYS clean (10/10).
The fur babies were so friendly.
The hosts made us feel like we're family just visiting.
The staff was so kind and very friendly.
The experience was outstanding ! Thank you so much ❤️
- Roland (10/5): Would come again without hesitation. - Beautiful grounds and location . The owners are very caring and thoughtful. Accommodation is relatively new, clean and well maintained. Wildlife and family pets are just perfect.
- Aphelele (8/5): - We truly enjoyed our stay here the breakfast basket was really cute. Shannon was such really good host If it had a TV
- YI (10/5): 非常棒 - 房东非常好,热情周到细心,很完美,服务员也很好
- Antonia (10/5): A true 5***** star experience! - Shannon is not only a great host, but also an amazing cook and tour guide. Every morning we received an homemade breakfast basket with a wide range of different choices from eggs (e.g omelettes) till sweet savory like fresh fruit salad, pancakes and muffins. All homemade and very delicious! A daily highlight: the fresh squeezed juices. Shannon is furthermore providing custommade recommendations for day trips and lovely dinner places. The appartement and estate were in a perfect condition. Daily room service and small details like fresh flower Bouquets in the room were enriching our stay. As well as the peacocks and multiple birds being in the garden - just lovely to sit on the terrace and watch them while having a tea. Not to forget Jessy, their super friendly dog, which is always up for a pet. For kids and swimmers there is an inviting pool area with comfy beach beds and a sitting area as well. Thanks for a lovely stay! We‘ll definitely be back once we are in town again! :-)
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Martin (10/5): Fantastisch verblijf, luxe en comfortabel! - Mooi en luxe ingericht appartement met alle denkbare voorzieningen. Zeer schoon en vriendelijke medewerkers. Heerlijk buitengedeelte ook en alles voelde veilig en prettig aan. Shannon is een fantastische host en wij hadden een perfect verblijf! Niets, alles was top.
- Anja (10/5): Wunderschöne Wohnung mit einer exzellenten Gastgeberin - Wir wurden super freundlich von Shannon begrüßt und wir waren sofort beeindruckt von dem wunderschönen Haus und dem idyllischem Garten.
Alles ist sehr stilvoll gestaltet und neuwertig. Super bequeme Betten, eine tolle Terrasse, ein sehr gepflegter Pool.
Shannon ist eine wunderbare Gastgeberin. Sie gab uns Tipps für unsere Freizeitgestaltung, Restaurants, und Cafés. Das wir nur zwei Nächte in dieser liebevollen Wohnung verbringen konnten. 😂
- nangamso (10/5): -
- Cyril (8/5): -
- Tebogo (8/5): Lovely place, friendly host and very helpful staff - Location is great, the hosts were very friendly; and so were their staff. It was well communicated, but I do think a tv would make it an even better stay. I had to leave the property to go watch a match

How lucky were we to find them& we will never forget them or their hospitality. We unfortunately had to leave & go home

- Benedicta (10/5): Our stay the was beautiful, elegant, fun and worth it. - Everything was perfect. Definitely returning. No comment.
- Mansour (5/5): Nightmare - The cleanness and the new was it 1-The host counting your breathing hauls and watching your steps when enter or leave the property
2-The apartment is very cold lacking heating system
3-The apartment lacking TV
4- No privacy since the host can enter the locked apartment while you are touring in the city
5- Noisy host through messaging you through Whatsapp and making you uncomfortable
6- feeling live in zoo where the dog bark and the cats steps around the windows
- Stephen (9/5): Superb -
