    I loved everything

    The property exceeded my expectations in every way! It was clean, modern, and incredibly comfortable. The room was spacious, well-furnished, and had all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was especially comfortable, and I really appreciated the attention to detail—everything from fresh towels to complimentary coffee and toiletries. The location was perfect restaurants, and local attractions, yet quiet enough to get a good night’s sleep. The staff were exceptional friendly, helpful, and made check-in/check-out smooth and easy. would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

    The host, Shannon, was extremely hospitable and accommodating to our needs. The accommodation was beautiful, peaceful, tranquil. We loved the garden and waking up to the peacocks walking at our doorstep. The unit had everything we needed, the host pays special attention to detail.

    Quiet and beautiful accomodation furnished with high end interior. Beds are very comfy, staff is very friendly and always happy to give a helping hand. Try the picknick breakfast, it is unique. Sharon is a great host. She gave us lots of tipps what we can do, where we can eat out in Knysna. Would definitely love to come back and will recommend Tonquani to friends and family. Oh, forgot to mention the friendly dog 🥰 with whom my husband made friends.

    Our stay was unforgettable! There is absolutely nothing to complain about! The cottages are large, new, stylishly furnished, absolutely clean and comfortable. There is a sports trampoline, a swimming pool and peacocks walking around on the territory:) The territory is very well maintained. Shannon is a very nice owner, she was always in touch and helped with our questions. When we return to Knysna, we will definitely stay here again!

    Very nice hosts that are making your holiday as relaxed as possible with a home away from home! Great tips, perfect breakfast service in the morning, and even new flowers every day! The rooms contains everything you ever need if you want to cook yourself, are spacious and the beds are comfy. The pool, trampoline and pets made the stay for our kids very enjoyable!

    Our stay at Tonquani exceeded all expectations. The cottages are beautifully appointed and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable self-catering getaway. The property itself is stunning, surrounded by trees and immersed in nature, offering a true escape from the busyness of everyday life. The hosts, who live on the property, go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect stay. Their warmth and attentiveness, along with the welcoming presence of their two- and four-legged family members, truly made us feel at home. Tonquani is also incredibly child-friendly, with plenty of open spaces for little ones to run and play, a big trampoline, and an enclosed swimming pool for peace of mind. The hosts were even kind enough to offer a box of toys for our three-year-old to enjoy during our stay, which was such a thoughtful touch. This is the perfect place for a peaceful, family-friendly break in Knysna, and my family and I will definitely be back. Highly recommended for anyone seeking relaxation, comfort, and a connection with nature!

    From the wonderful warm welcome at the parking area when I arrived in helping with the bags to the room to the fact that there was fresh ground coffee and a French press in the room to house spotless modern and charming the property was. Our hosts were incredibly knowledgeable and the recommendations for what to do in and around the area from beaches to dining and shopping were absolutely fantastic and made a wonderful. As there was a work component to the trip the recommendations for a huge Timesaver visit stores that we actually needed to. I can highly recommend. As an addition their pets both cats and dog was super friendly and it was wonderful being greeted by these lovely animals coming up for a quick cuddle to say hello and then will leave you alone. The pool was fantastic the lounging area for the pool was wonderful as well and on our second night there we chose to stay in at the property was so relaxing

    The only little drawback: if you want to go out for dinner you have to drive or take an Uber. But this was fully acceptable for us.

    Wonderful Apartment with plenty of space and a fully equipped kitchen. Everything is new and well maintained. Breakfast delivery was on time with fruits, eggs, bread, muesli, etc. Shannon was also giving us great tips what to see and do in the area every day. Everybody was very helpful.
