A great place to stay in Knysna
Ewald van der Helm, Switzerland
07 January 2007
Hosts (family Conyers) are very hospitable and friendly and we enjoyed our stay at this great place and our children also very much liked the swimming pool. Highly recommendable.
Paradise
Suzanne Carey, United Kingdom
01 November 2006
Of the four places we booked on the garden route this was undoubtedly the most luxurious. After a romantic lunchtime cruise by paddleboat over the lagoon we recovered from an excess of sauvignon blanc by the pool. Georgeous gardens, sweet birdsong from fork-tailed drongos and sunbirds, and, of course, the charming host and family made it an unforgettable stay.
