- Lottering (10/5): -
- Fiona (10/5): The cottage at Two Angels is a little bit of paradise. - The accommodation was very clean and the interior quirky, which made it feel unique. To have our own private balcony with views directly over the lagoon was very special. A great location too, at the East Head. Sound / conversations travelling from next door.

- Ajay (10/5): -

- Lesley (9/5): Lovely, quirky cottage in a beautiful location. - It’s a great cottage with wonderful views and walking distance from a couple of good restaurants/cafes. We liked everything. The only thing which might be improved is the number/location of electric sockets so that the fans could be more conveniently placed.
- Susan (10/5): - What a fantastic location and space - we only stayed one night but wished it was a week! We will be back for sure!
- Beverley (7/5): Fantastic location clean and quirky ….. - Location No one around to ask any questions
- Ronelle (10/5): -
- Owen (10/5): - The room is so charming, from floor to ceiling it has a romantic and cozy character and it's basically on the water ( depending on the tide)
- Stuart (10/5): Charming apartment by the waters edge - I loved the view, the old world atmosphere of the apartment and the garden and all the authentic touches. Conveniently situated on the waterfront with free kayaks. Lovely private outdoor seating and a real workable kitchen.
- Helen (9/5): A peaceful stay - The staff team were wonderful, so friendlys and helpful a fan in the bedroom but probably not enough space
- Nicole (10/5): Wie immer perfekt !! - Wir waren jetzt schon mehrfach in Two Angels . Jedesmal klasse . Der Stromausfall hat etwas lange gedauert aber da war Eskom dran schuld nicht der Vermieter .
- Christine (10/5): Little corner of heaven - What an amazing spot. We had plans to go out for dinner and ordered in instead because we did not want to leave. Quick walk down to the lagoon where we could kayak and wander on the beach. HUGE shower, well kitted kitchen. We will definitely be back.
- Corina (10/5): Tolles Appartement direkt an der Lagune mit Wasser -Zugang. - Tolle Lage direkt an der Lagune.Interessante Einrichtung mit antiken Möbel.Traumschlafzimmer über der Lagune.Küche gut ausgestattet.Netter Vermieter,lockere,gemütliche Atmosphäre. Für uns eine der besten Unterkünfte. Einzigartig. Die Lagune mit direktem Wasser- Zugang ist einmalig... War alles toll...Keine Beanstandungen
- Graham (10/5): Incredible position on the lagoon. The most beautiful place - inside and out! - Beautiful, tasteful - a little piece of paradise Nothing

- Paul (8/5): -
- Neil (10/5): Exceptional - The whole atmosphere was fantastic Not applicable
- Tristan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Chris (8/5): Very good - The location is genuinely stunning, but due to a problem with the room that we booked we were given a different room (without any explanation until the following day). There was a lot of space but the kitchen was well away from the room with was a bit of a pain. There is easy access to the nearest coffee shop and Italian restaurant and the main town is only a few minutes drive away.
- Jacqui (10/5): 2 Angels has the most incredible views over the lagoon and we loved our stay! - We loved the incredible location and views of 2 Angels and our studio apartment was perfect with the kitchenette well equipped and the room very comfortable. Would highly recommend and I’m sure we’ll be back!
- Zacharia (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was so good...excellent service We liked everything
- Robert (10/5): An absolute gem - We loved our stay in Robert’s beautiful house with its gorgeous gardens and wonderful staff, particularly Florence and Perseverance. We were right on the water with a remarkable view across to Featherbed Bay and Leisure Isle. So restful to have sundowners and watch the moon rise over the lagoon, then enjoy a barbecue on the pretty lawn before dropping off to the sounds of the water. Two Angels has a gate that opens directly into the sand to take advantage of the lagoon in all its moods or walk across at low tide to the island. Thank you to Robert, Florence and Perseverance for your gracious assistance. This is a hidden gem. Not a problem for us but just be aware the steps down from the road are steep but staff will help with your bags if you need assistance. The East Head cafe within walking distance has excellent coffee and breakfasts, with views over the Heads. And like other East Heads properties down on the water, Two Angels is happily sheltered from any wind.
- Brand (10/5): Heaven on earth we will go back ! - Loved everything about it.
- Andrew (9/5): Gorgeous stay in a stunning location - Robert and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly while we were there. The views are exceptional! We will definitely go back. Unfortunately, the ho water pipe in our bathroom burst. However, Robert and the staff were very quick to respond and move us into an upgraded apartment for the rest of our stay.
- Tanya (10/5): Magnificent! Highly recommend anyone to visit TwoAngels! - Our stay was nothing short of outstanding! This luxury guest house, situated right at the edge of a crystal-clear lagoon, offers stunning views and a homely atmosphere that beautifully blends the charm of a luxury Italian villa with the timeless romance of a French vintage home. The interiors exude soft elegance, adorned with French antiques, vintage armoires, and ornate mirrors. The garden is absolutely breathtaking, featuring a harmonious blend of vibrant plants, colorful flowers, and thoughtfully designed spaces that create a serene, inviting atmosphere. The rooms were impeccably clean, the beds exceptionally comfortable, and our terrace, with a sunbed overlooking the lagoon, was the perfect spot for afternoon naps. Robert and his team were gracious, friendly, and incredibly helpful, making every moment feel special. This is the kind of place where beauty is found in every detail. Highly recommend—it’s definitely worth a visit! No complaints we loved everything!
- Andrea (10/5): A piece of paradise - The view, the peace, perfect location. Lover’s Nest cottage was the perfect place for a few days relaxing, we didn’t want to leave.
- Dudley (8/5): Very good - Great location beautiful room and view They have no generator so when load shedding occurs as it did when I was there it was dark no tv and I almost fell down the steep stairs coming back in the evening as it was pitch dark
- Paul (10/5): A Room With a View - Unsurpassable location right on the Knysna lagoon. Exudes old world style and charm within a stone’s throw of the lagoon. You can be active or just lounge around while taking in the view. Nothing
- Therese (8/5): I enjoyed our weekend very much. The outsideareas were out of this world. We used the kayaks alot - The location is unbeatable and the garden and external areas superb. We loved using the communal braai area, we loved our verandah areas and using the kayaks Our accomodatation felt cramped, the furnishing a bit dated, and there was an old musty smell
- Scott (9/5): Superb -
- Kelley (10/5): Highly recommend - we had such a gorgeous time. -
- Alastair (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ruth (10/5): We loved it!! And would highly recommend! - Location was unbelievable, house was cosy and clean, loved the balcony with the day bed. Such a relaxed vibe!
- Bn (10/5): Beautiful, unique, relaxed - Quite unique, relaxed and very beautiful hospitality.
- Georgie (10/5): Beautiful stay! Highly recommended! - We loved being right on the water in such a beautiful spot. Two Angels is so rich in it’s character - highly recommend!! Nothing
- Brett (10/5): A dreamy setting right on the lagoon, with views across to the West Head, combined with a very comfortable and very priv - This is a unique find - a room furnished with taste and restraint, but also pragmatism. The stunning setting of Two Angels - a plunging view down through layers of architecture and greenery straight onto the lagoon - is reminiscent of Lake Como. But the dreamy ambiance is supported by a very comfortable and well-planned guest environment, full of little touches (great beds, spotlessly clean linen, an iron), that make it easy to do a day’s sightseeing. The kayaks were an extra touch, which we greatly appreciated. The glory of this place, however, remains its unique setting, as well as the ability to walk down straight into the lagoon and go swimming. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. Nothing.
- Eileen (10/5): Wonderful location on the water - Beautiful location. Our room was lovers nest, so close to the water, it was like being in a boat! We went out in kayaks which was great. So fun to see the tide come in and out. Beautiful gardens. Nothing.
- Maryke (9/5): Superb -
- Tania (10/5): Remove island experience, truly amazing. - I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.
- Anja (10/5): - Beautiful romantic hotel
- Ebrahim (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): - A little piece of heaven hidden in the beautiful world of Knysna. It’s a must for anyone seeking beauty and solitude.
- Vadim (10/5): Boutique-style accommodation overlooking the lagoon - It's a memorable and unique place! Tastefully selected interior details give cosiness and home atmosphere. Stunning view from the terrace and direct access to the lagoon. During low tide you can walk on the lagoon floor or do kayaking (kayaks are provided) during high tide.
- Sadhna (10/5): The view was amazing - Everything Nothing
- Corinna (10/5): Fantastic location with private access to the lagoon and comfortable rooms with stunning views. - The location right at the lagoon is absolutely fantastic. During low tide we went for walks and looked for crabs, during high tide we made use of the kayaks available to guests. The rooms are comfortable and the decoration and furniture are very original. The view from our balcony was just stunning. Service is great, too. Our lugagge was carried for us which was great with all the steep stairs on the property. Absolutely fantastic for couples and families. This was our second stay and we will be back. Nothing at all.
- Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - The guesthouse really is super cozy, beautifully situated on the lagoon, everything you need is there, even to cook on site if you want to. The view is breathtaking. And above all: Robert is the nicest host you can imagine, he is super responsive and meets every wish.
- Beverley (10/5): heaven on earth ❤️ - Everythjng ❤️❤️❤️I’ve been lucky enough to travel far and wide and this beautiful place is up there in my top 3 absolutely amazing position wonderful quirky room and amazing team to help with all your requests nothing
- Jeremy (10/5): Fabulous and in the most perfect location. - Everything and as perfect location as I’ve ever known. As an ex longhaul 747 pilot I’m lucky enough to have seen a lot in this world. This is up there with the best. Thank you. Nothing.
- Karsten (10/5): A place to remember - I would recommend it to anyone. Hope to return someday! - It is a wonderful place with a wonderful view and an extremely helpful host
- Billie-jean (10/5): I want to live here forever.!!!! - WOW!!!!! What an amazing stay from location to facilities! Exceptional. They have everything you need, they even provided us with the loadshedding schedule. The views are simply gorgeous. They supply bath and swimming towels. The staff help you with your luggage if you require it. I can't say enough about Two Angles! The only thing that might be a problem would be the main bed for tall people as it is an iron double bed with posts at the bottom.
- Mark (10/5): Robert couldn’t be more accommodating. Location fantastic. We will be back . - Fabulous and fantastic views.
- Damien (10/5): Wonderful holiday destination - Everything Nothing not to like.
- Paula (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional location with stunning views - The location was exceptional, being right on the waters edge and having access to kayaks for us to use in the lagoon. Having a stunning view over the lagoon with the ability to barbeque on the verandah, ensured that it met our needs perfectly. The staff were also very helpful. Parking was available, but a little tight for my car. A small to average sized car would have been fine.
- Johan (10/5): One could be forgiven for believing you are on the shores of Lake Como. Two Angels does this… -
- Cedric60 (9/5): nice stay in front of the lagoon, les pieds dans l'eau - In front of the lagoon. kayaks available for trip on the lagoon, kitchen, very quiet, nice old furniture you have to carry your luggage 3 stairs but this is the price of being at a quiet place :>)
- Claire (10/5): Relaxed, beautiful, welcoming. - Amazing views, right by the water front, beautiful apartment. Nothing!
- Veronique (10/5): Lovely room in lush surroundings with a view on the entrance of the lagoon - We loved the location on The Heads: view on the lagoon, lush garden, … Nice room with small equipped kitchen and daily cleaning. Robert is a nice and welcoming host.
- Kelley (10/5): Exceptional -
- Luke (10/5): Fantastic stay in charming accommodation - Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!
- Ali (8/5): Amazing location and view, kayaking just downstairs on the beach - Amazing location and view, kayaking just downstairs on the beach
- Lionel (9/5): Amazing views and great location. - Location is the best in the world. The garden and surroundings are phenomenal. The views and experience of the high and low tide of the Knysna lagoon are well experienced from this location. The specific room we were allocated has a very small kitchenette. When it's cold and raining, the outside balcony is not an option and the room then is a bit small. I do understand that there are larger rooms. They would be my first choice.
- Anna (10/5): Absolutely perfect, incredible views and lovey place with attention to detail - Breathtaking views, cozy room, excellent host, free canoes!!
- Anna (9/5): Superb -
- Marc (9/5): It's a fantastic setting, great team, perfectly run. - Consistently one of the best venues in South Africa for a family holiday Loadshedding is a big factor in WC and some backup power will be the expectation of many guests.
- Etienne (9/5): Superb -
- Carlo (9/5): Superb -
- Robbertse (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kevin (10/5): Gorgeous accommodation with superb location - Location superb, spacious, private and extremely well appointed, excellent attention to detail, exquisite little spot.
- Maritz (9/5): Superb - We loved the whole atmosphere of the house,the lovely old feeling of the decor with such character, but the things that matter is new and modern, like the stove and the fridge, the showers etc. The view is stunning, and we just wanted to spend our time in this house and in the water. It felt like being on the French Riviera. Beautiful. We missed a microwave, but that is not a necessity.
- Daniela (10/5): Beautiful, tidy, quiet. - Our room was very private and quiet, with stunning views of the lagoon. Wish we had more time to stay, will definitely be coming back!
- Bob (9/5): Superb -
- Sarah (9/5): Superb - Charming quaint house with beautiful flowering garden overlooking the water. Very peaceful and private room. Fabulous breakfast within walking distance recommended by our host.
- Teresa (8/5): Loved It! - Beautiful room, location was off the charts amazing, grounds were beautiful. It was so nice to have the kayaks! There were little ant in the room, they were crawling on me while in bed. I noticed quite an active ant group at the top of the stairs. Also, there wasn't any shampoo, which has been a staple at every other place we stayed. These issues weren't to stop us coming back for a second night, but might be easy fixes for a more comfortable stay.
- Hendrik (9/5): Superb -
- Mary (10/5): I loved this place—such a beautiful environment - This is a beautifully appointed, homey hotel. I didn’t want to leave. Gorgeous setting and beautifully decorated. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating
- Astrid (10/5): Perfect stay at a beautiful place. - Perfect location, just at the Waterfront, a room so uniquely decorated and a welcoming host. Just be aware, there are many stairs to climb.
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Sandra (10/5): great view lovely place - beautiful interior, best location n/a
- Wim (9/5): Superb -
- Phoebus (9/5): Superb - Excellent room and facilities. View was out of this world. It was very very hot at night and a fan would have been great.
- Thanos (10/5): Exceptional - Our room had a private area/balcony, with a couch with superb view over the lagoon. The water is literally 10 stairs away, which was fantastic. We could borrow the kayaks, swim or walk during the low tide. Our host was very friendly and informative about Knysna and places to visit and things to do around. The room was fully equipped, but we didn't use it, as we liked all too much the East Head cafe nearby
- Jennifer (9/5): Superb - wonderful location
- Annaleshia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Johan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Grönlund (9/5): The Lovers nest was perfect! - We stayed in the Lovers nest, honeymoon cottage, during our honeymoon and it was just perfect. Cozy room, private and with a lovely view from the balcony were we had dinner both nights.
- Louise (10/5): Paradise. - The location is a dream. Beautiful gardens, situated right on the water & there are an amazing choice of accommodation to suit different needs- 1, 2, 3 bedroom. The staff are so warm & welcoming, looking after you throughout the stay. We only stayed 3 nights, could have stayed longer.
