Water pressure in the shower/bath needs attention, reason for it could be the municipality. Didn't ask.

Location is great, with a beautiful view of the Knysna Heads and Lagoon. Breakfast was superb.

Everything met my expectations.

I enjoyed my stay at Moncrieff Manor. The room and the bed were very comfortable, and the view is stunning. Kevin is not only friendly but also very helpful, gives you very good advice for outings, restaurant, etc.

All was great

Kevin, the owner, is a great and very a hospitable person. I loved the breakfast, the view from the terrace and location of the hotel. Addidionally, the common areas are very cozy and encourage spending time there after a long day of traveling. The rooms are also cozy and the beds are comfortable

The views, the host, the breakfast were outstanding. This was a really nice place to stay. If I ever come back, I’d stay here again.

Difficult to find, you would need Sat Nav, or a local to advise. Sat TV limited international channels.

Host Kevin warmly welcomed & looked after us throughout our stay. Stunning views, location high on ridge looking over Knysna. Beautiful property, large & comfortable rooms. Small kitchenette, fridge/freezer, kettle, microwave, hot plate. For those evenings you may want to cook. Amenities range in bathroom are pleasant to use. Breakfast plentiful, meeting dietary needs. Ample parking, but definitely you need a vehicle, as roads very steep. Various Retail close on the main road. Great value for money.

Not really a boutique type hotel experience better suited for short stays. Was upgraded but the room was damp and looked onto a parking lot. Little privacy and dated furniture and facilitaties. No pool or grass area. Drive to accommodation tedious up steep hill and poor roads. Very limited TV channels no Netflix or DSTV channels. Shared facilties like a dated home.

The views and the hosts Kevin and his wife offer great hospitality. The breakfasts are great. Comfortable beds and clean sheets.

Some of the facilities in the rooms are a bit outdated. They match the feel of the home but the amenities are somewhat basic.

Beautiful location with a lovely building and outside seating area.

It’s 2km from the waterfront, Uber works poorly, and difficult to arrange a taxi, so you will probably have to drive to get something to eat. They also don’t have any drinks or snacks available.

Beautiful house with a great view to the waterfront. The rooms aren’t too large, but still very good sizes. The owners are great, nice breakfast, and very simple check in and out!

We overlooked the fact that there was no swimmingpool, our mistake - but we were a bit disappoined by the outdoor facilities in general. The front ot he house is taken up by the entrance and parking, so you do not really have a nice private seating area outside . There is ni back up electricity, also not for the minimum lighting.

Beautiful view over the bay. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Nothing ..
