• Liju (10/5): - Place exactly as listed, friendly host Nothing
• Beauty (10/5): The place looks exactly the way it is on the pictures of booking.com - No need for breakfast you can cook for your self, kitchen accessories are there. I didn't like the linen, bathroom curtains. I love white linen.
• zayd (10/5): -

• Gail (10/5): - Well equipped. Very neat and clean. Excellent location. Beautiful park like garden with pool. Spacious. Home away from home. Loved it! 🦚 Everything perfect
• Mec (10/5): Eine sehr gute übernachtungsmöglic hkeit - KITTY war sehr und gab gute Tips .z B the pledge eine grüne Oase in der Stadt! Leider nur sehr schwer zu erreichen ,da nur mit Schwieigkeiten über einen privaten Wohnkomplex. Man hört teilweise die N2
• Jeremie (10/5): Perfect spot in Knysna - What an amazing spot to stay and visit Knysna!! The apartment is very comfortable and the view from the balcony is fantastic. Katie is an amazing host and made our stay very special
• Nuschke (10/5): -
• Elisabeth (8/5): -
• Gavin (9/5): Nice short stay - Have stayed here before and this time was as enjoyable. We had the same room which has a view of the pool ad over the Lagoon. Comfortable room area with AC. TV in room with good wifi signal. Separate Kitchen area with everything you need if you self catering. Safe offstreet parking behind gates. I found the bed comfortable iwth enough bedding ( but wasn't needed in the hot weather). Knysna is experiencing water restrictions so only use of shower allowed although it does have a bath tub. The host is a very friendly lady. was good
• EdgarandMignon (7/5): Great place to stay , very friendly host and staff - Very convenient location. All we needed for a holiday along the Garden route The parking area is small and difficult to navigate when all the rental apartments are full
• Michael (9/5): Fantastic , Kitty is lovely and Adalicia , nice pool too - Great location , spacious , lovely host and staff
• Graeme (7/5): Wouldn’t stay again but satisfactory. - Great views and good location. Owner very communicative and helpful. Pool facilities were nice. The loft accommodation was cramped and dated although it was exactly as described in terms of facilities offered. Lots of dog barking noise.
• Mme (9/5): - Bel appartement beau jardin belle terrasse La propriétaire très accueillante
• wesley (8/5): Quite place and relaxing area - Swimming pool Braai webber I was uncomfortable on the deck
• Zukiswa (9/5): - We only slept for one night as we were on the way to Cape Town. The apartment was clean and it had everything we needed. The hostess was very welcoming ,we felt right at home. I think if they can change the bedding maybe buy better bed sheets and covers, not in a bad way, the ones they have are clean but they need to be freshened up and be a little attractive, a white is always the best color.
• Kamal Kishore (8/5): Home away frm home - The staff were excellent, the owner Kitty was an absolute darling, the views excellent and the location was great. My special request to be moved to the downstairs unit, was granted without hesitation I felt the utensils could be replaced with new good quality, especially to eat
• Gill (10/5): We will definitely be staying there again. Loved it - We had a stunning host, who was very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious, had all the amenities, TV, aircon, fan, microwave, fridge, kettle. Everything was clean and tidy. Its nice and quiet, but also close enough to town centre, Leisure Island and The Heads We had a view of The Heads and the bay from our windows Safe parking off the road with remote access Highly recommend you stay there All was good No problems at all
• Litha (10/5): Footprints experience and warm hospitality - What a wonderful place to rest. It's a home away from home. Our host makrs you feel like a family member. The Staff are so frienfly and professional with a high sense of work ethic. We really enjoyed our brief stay. 😪Brief stay

• Rudi Prinsloo (10/5): -
• Saartje V (9/5): - Fijn dat je de wagen veilig achter een poort kan parkeren. Gezellige, ruime en nette kamers en terras met een mooi uitzicht op de omgeving en het zwembad dat je mag gebruiken. Er waren twee vuurtjes waarop je kan koken. Je kon ook gebruikmaken van een strijkijzer en strijkplank, Er was ook een mapje met restaurants en to do's in de omgeving. Er werd thee, koffie en water aangeboden. Lieve gastvrouw die ons alles uitlegde. Best vermelden dat dit appartement zich bovenaan een trap bevindt. Voor sommige gasten is dit niet evident.
• Ravi (10/5): - Every convience was made available eg iron and ironing board....clean and fresh linen from pillow cases to towels.... Absolutely clean...daily house keeping..... attention to detail....
• Andreas (10/5): - Nachbar setzte seinen offenen Kamin in Betrieb und verpestete die Luft.
• Stuart (10/5): A lovely stay and a lovely host, everyone at the property was helpful and very friendly - Our host Kitty was lovely and friendly, gave us lots of information and was always on hand if we needed her. The property is in a great location and has amazing views of Knysna. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay! Highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Knysna and the surrounding areas. Nothing

• Sundrasen (10/5): - From the Time we entered Knysna Footprints everything was on Point. Kitty gave us a Warm welcome and a Tour of the Room and Property. Very Good Value for money. Every Appliance for self catering was on Accomodation . The most Beautiful Pool and Garden you will ever see. Loved the Backdrop of Mountains. Very well located like a km from town and like 2km from the Hotspots . We were doing the Garden Route so Town Hopping everyday. Kitty's knowledge of the Garden Route is Amazing as she has done it all. Kitty made the Process very easy by giving us Tips on how to Navigate daily. Knysna is a very chilled Laid back town with the most beautiful Scenery and People . Very warm House feeling at the Footprints. Id highly recommend this Accomodation. Full DSTV package as well. Kitty has also alot of knowledge in the Hospitality Industry as she worked for Major Company's So yes you will be in Good Hands in all departments.

• Georgina (10/5): A peaceful, spotless retreat with great amenities and the warmest hospitality - The location is perfect—peaceful yet close to everything.

• Courtenay (10/5): Footprints of knysna is a fantastic place to stay. Super comfortable apartment, pool and view - Footprints of knysna is a lovely accommodation, our comfortable apartment had everything we needed as well as a lovely pool and garden and a breathtaking view of the knysna lagoon!
• Juanita (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brent (10/5): Exceptional - Had everything that we needed. No issues
• Janine (10/5): Peaceful stay - Everything, from the comfotable beds to the beautiful backyard and easy accessibility to the main road. Kitty was a darling and helped with directions on where to buy food even though we checked in later than expected due to bad road over Prince Alfred Pass.
• Kim (8/5): Relaxing, comfortable holiday. - We loved the charming appartment, it had everything one needs and everything worked. It was kept neat and tidy and staff were all very friendly. The views and garden were lovely and we enjoyed swimming in the pool. We were located well to get around to restaurants, shops etc.
• Maria (8/5): Good place to stay to experience the garden route - The place was large and pretty well-equipped, as well as located in a fairly quiet neighbourhood. Our host was also very friendly and happy to provide recommendations of things to do around town. Although quiet, the location requires that you basically drive everywhere that you might want to go. This is pretty typical in South Africa, but Europeans might need to get used to this. It is however pretty well-located in the middle of all the good stuff to do, so you'll seldom be driving for longer than 30 mins to get to everything.
• Hennie (10/5): A comfortable, relaxing stay with excellent service from the host and her staff. - My high overall score is based entirely on the host, Kitty. She's a star! The garden is stunning and the view over that and the lagoon and heads in the distance is a very pleasing aspect. The steps up to the accommodation are steep and have to be negotiated with great care, especially for older people as my wife and I are.
• Glen (8/5): Fantastic place to rest your head while exploring surrounding areas. - Beautiful views over the bay, with a great space to sit outside and enjoy them. Host was extremely friendly, helpful and accomodating. Bed was a bit too creaky / noisy.
• Aziza (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cristina (6/5): Pleasant - I appreciated the kindness of the owner. We only stayed for one night, and while the equipment was a bit outdated, everything else was fine. Being woken up by the owner's dogs was unexpected.
• Jeffrey (9/5): Superb -
• Ingrid (10/5): Exceptional - Footprints is located in a very beautiful area with an amazing view of the lagoon, very close to everything. The bed was very comfortable, everything was there, even a little jar of herbs for cooking. Kitty was so friendly and we just loved our short stay and felt like staying longer but had to move along. There was also braaing facilities. We just loved lazing around the lovely pool, basking in the warm sun. Thank you for making our stay so pleasurable. We will be back♡♡
• Saffatraveller (10/5): Perfect stay - Kitty was an amazing host. The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and garden area.
• Happyvedra (10/5): Exceptional - The place was nice and homely. Had everything I needed. Hostess was very helpful.i would advise anyone to check out the place Not really. No one bothered me Was able to come and go as I please. Everything was nice and clean.
• Paula (8/5): Nice - Location and the view Bed is not so confortable
• Wolfgang (9/5): Great relaxing stay - Kitty, the owner, was very friendly and supportive even so one of her most beloved dogs just has died. It is a nice appartment with a good view and which is rather quiet. I needed that. It is my day 10 and 11 in South Africa and for the First time I got a really good sleep.
• Chaunre (10/5): Exceptional - My wife and I enjoyed the stunning view while my son loved the pool
