Guest Reviews

• Jan (9/5): Prachtig verblijf met mooi uitzicht op lagune - Uitzicht vanaf ons balkonnetje. We kregen een gratis upgrate., en mochten kiezen uit 3 kamers Ook de vriendelijkheid van gastheer die ons veel heeft uitgelegd over de omgeving Nvt
• Lindy (10/5): Awesome stay - Awesome place to stay, view of the lagoon. Room cosy, neath and spacious. Breakfast amazing
• Rowan (10/5): - Sble to help with a last minute booking and late arrival time -- thank you Lagoon Lodge team!.
• Garth (10/5): - Everything exceeded my expectation.
• LAURENT (9/5): Accueil exceptionnel. Hotel charmant et confortable. A recommander sans hésitation. - Situé à l’entrée de Knysna (très facile à trouver), cet hotel est logé dans une vieille maison historique (soit-disant une des plus anciennes de Knysna), très bien décorée avec beaucoup de charme. La situation est idéale comme point d’attache pour visiter la région. L’accueil de Josh est juste parfait. Il est toujours disponible, très avenant et est intarissable de bons conseils sur les visites, les restaurants, les coins à voir absolument… et il vous prépare le matin « la meilleure omelette du monde » (c’est lui qui le dit !) avec un petit déjeuner succulent qu’on prend sur la terrasse au bord du lac. Les chambres assez grandes, très bien décorée et équipées et très confortables avec une grande salle de bain et un grand balcon qui donne sur le lac. La literie est très confortable. C’est un endroit à recommander sans hésitation si vous passez à Knysna. Seul bémol, la proximité de la route nationale fait qu’il y a beaucoup de bruit la nuit (les camions) et le week-end, le bar juste en face propose de la musique live jusque 22h qu’on entend aussi très bien !
• Harker (8/5): - Comfortable room with an excellent view. The host/owner was very friendly and present.

• Patrick (10/5): -
• Alberto (10/5): - The hotel is located in a peaceful area with a beautiful view of the estuary and is not close to the Waterfront, though if you have a car this won’t be a problem. Uber is also easy to find there. Breakfast is delicious, and I highly recommend the "world-famous inn omelets." Mr. Appel is not only very attentive but also extremely charismatic. We highly recommend it.
• Lili (10/5): Beautiful spot with cozy rooms and a perfect view! We enjoyed a lovely breakfast outside and would definetly come again. - Stunning view, nice owner, Perfect Service
• Ian (8/5): Great value for money - For the price this was just what I needed for a 1 night stay, Had a nice view of the bay from the balcony outside my room. Breakfast was good and they did not want you to go away hungry. On the outskirts of town but is only a quick drive. Thicker curtains would have been nice, they were very thin. The patio area is shared with other guests so anyone can look into your room.
• Hloba (8/5): - I like the view to the sea There was a water crisis and the way the manager handled the matter was not professional
• Belinda (9/5): - Lagoon Lodge doesn't disappoint - always a great welcome, good breakfast and comfy beds

• Mansoer (7/5): - We liked the view . For a one night stay it's fine. Beautiful surroundings. The noise very early in the morning , maybe it's because our room was below the kitchen hence the noise .
• Eike (9/5): Muito bom - Excelente custo benefício, café da manha bom e quarto confortável! Anfitriao excelente, receptivo e deu várias dicas incríveis da cidade. Com certeza voltaria.
• Niccolo (8/5): Consigliato per soggiorni estivi - Posizione con una bella vista, parcheggio vicino alla camera Camera un po fredda
• Marlies Wierenga (8/5): - Fantastisch uitzicht, vriendelijke mensen
• David (6/5): Enjoyed my stay -
• Molefi Makoaba (8/5): - Great place, just off the N2. Mr. Apple was very welcoming. Beautiful view on the lagoon! Nothing
• Boitumelo25 (10/5): Exceptional - Our room had a nice view of the lagoon and the garden , we had our mini kitchen, we had electric blanket, we didn't get cold, room was clean, we had a feast of a buffet breakfast n the hospitality from the staff was marvelous, ooh an our host MR Kruger, knows how to treat his guest so well we felt at home, we definitely bringing our family here very soon. Our shower didn't have hot water, it was just warm water in the morning , maybe they can improve that, but otherwise, nothing to complain about everything was perfect
• Angela (4/5): Disappointing - We stayed at Lagoon Lodge during our visit to Knysna for the Knysna Marathon, and were truly impressed by the friendliness and helpfulness of the manager, he went out of his way to assist us and genuinely cared about our comfort. However, a word of CAUTION for future guests: if you book a bottom-level room, be aware that the canteen directly above creates quite A LOT of noise you can't escape. While this is mentioned in the fine print on Booking.com, it only truly sinks in when you're there, especially if you're visiting for an event like we were, where rest is essential. Unfortunately, after two sleepless nights, we were too exhausted to take up the manager’s kind offer to move us to alternative accommodation, and decided to cut our trip short. That said, the views are beautiful and we really couldn’t fault anything else. Just be mindful of the room choice depending on your needs. A big thank you again to the manager, your kindness didn’t go unnoticed.
• Melissa (9/5): Highly recommend! - We stayed at Lagoon Lodge over the Knysna Marathon weekend (also the start of the Oyster festival) and had a lovely experience. The location is perfectly located - just far enough from the hustle and bustle of town to be peaceful and relaxing, but still close enough to easily get to the local restaurants etc. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, with a beautiful view of the lagoon. The staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. Needless to say, we will be back! The bathroom door was a bit tricky to close - one of the magnets didn't seem to be working properly.
• Pete (10/5): Location, location, location. Really convenient for the Knysna Forest Marathon. - Useful to have a little hotplate in the room. Proximity to the restaurant Muse is a real plus. We were there for the Knysna marathon and being able to walk back from the finish was a real plus. Can't say there was anything we did not like. Please provide tea - both Ceylon and Rooibos in the rooms. Also, maybe upgrade the quality of the coffee provided. Not a serious gripe. The room met expectations.
• Marlize (8/5): Very good -
• Shannon (9/5): Superb - I checked in quite late and it was a cold evening, so it was nice to get into a bed that had been preheated with an electric blanket - that really made my day 👌🏻

• Johan (9/5): Superb -
• Wessel (9/5): Superb -

• Sammy (8/5): Very good -
• Ralph (10/5): Exceptional - The setting. Comfortable and amazing view.
• Diane (7/5): Good - Cannot review Lagoon Lodge accurately because there was a miscommunication with our booking so we were accommodated at another nearby lodge under the same ownership. Reception ( Frikkie) was exceptionally helpful as was the Manager Appel in finding a solution for us. Breakfast at Lagoon Lodge was very good and we enjoyed the views from the breakfast room/deck

• Gs (5/5): Very friendly staff and owner. No reception but accessible via phone. Could have been cheaper - Very good bed. Breakfast good. Access terrible stairs. Poor partitions, could hear a snore from another room nearby Stairs. Old fittings. Shower had low low pressure.
• Marie-chantale (10/5): - Very good service, de property is very gentle
• Helen (7/5): Good - Host was super-friendly, informative and accommodating Room was a bit on the small side, but super comfortable with great views
• Jacky (9/5): Accommodation with lagoon view - From management to staff....very friendly ,welcoming and helpful! Brilliant service! Thanks once again for having us. We will be regulars at your accommodation.... Lovely breakfast.....starting with fruit and yoghurt. The chairs we had in our room were a bit wobbly...couldn't really sit on it. My son used it to work on his laptop but found it unsteady. We found a solution though....so no big deal. Just thought I'd mention it. Maybe you can have a look at it.
• Lucy (7/5): In general, the accommodation was not very comfortable. - The room was spacious. The owner of the property was very friendly. They joined single beds to make a double bed/queen be. These single beds were not comfortable at all. They were very hard. Furthermore, the bathroom fan was running all night long even when the bathroom light was off. The bathroom was also too small to maneuver.
• Ronel (9/5): Lovely comfortable guest house. - The good service by the host. Everything was fine!
• Pheme (7/5): Good - I love the view of lagoon was beautiful
• Mrara (7/5): It was fair. - Lagoon views Nice breakfast Very helpful host during breakfast, who gave us advice on tourist places around. The assistant receiving us was not warm and did not assist with our luggage though we had an upstairs room. We were allocated an upstairs room, yet this was not mentioned in the advert, and I happen to have joint problems. Our room was very small compared to the equivalent upstairs room. We were not given a choice.
• Spencer (10/5): Exceptional -
• Steyn (10/5): Happy Knysna times! - Good location, great value for money, delicious breakfast and fantastic staff. We loved our stay ♥️ The bathroom slide door struggled to close, but it didn’t bother me too much.
