    Not so keen on the winter sheets!

    Beautiful setting. The accommodation was very comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well equipped and it was great to have a Weber braai/ BBQ on the deck. Plenty of hot water for showering and bath. Highly recommended - we would have liked to stay longer so we could use the kayaks.

    The bed wobbled badly and we had to put a towel under one leg to stop it. Additionally, the bedsheet were very old and rough.

    Our room was dried by the beach so the views were amazing. The lovely outside deck was next to the braai and it caters for lovely dinners outside. The kitchen is well furnished and everything is very new.

    Too close to the next cabin so early morning leaving / traffic not great in our specific cabins location. The ones in the eater looked fab!

    The mattress felt a bit worn out & could do with replacing

    This little cabin was everything we could ask for and more. There were large windows & doors to let in the fresh air. The lagoon was absolutely beautiful, and I could imagine how much fun it would be to visit in Summer.

    Parking bay is small, but thats if I'm being absolutely pedantic.

    Absolutely everything!!!!! The location is on the beach and it makes you feel like you're in some small European village by die sea. It's incredibly peaceful and relaxing, you feel as if you're miles from people, but you're actually so close to town, it will take you 5min to get to the waterfront. Will 100% be coming back again!!!!

    The perfect spot in Knysna to relax and enjoy a holiday

    We had an issue with the plumbing while we were there - everything was completely blocked due to the tree roots growing in the pipes - but the maintenance guy worked very hard to try and fix it and clean up the apartment. It was a bit cold and we didn't have a heater - heated blankets in the beds would be appreciated. Parking in the tiny parking spots is very tricky, so be prepared!

    The location was perfect, right on the water. The beach was very easy to access and had many SUPs and canoes to use. Also a great spot for swimming and walking across the lagoon. The apartment was cleaned every day, which was great. It also had every single cooking item you can imagine. A really perfect, relaxing spot and lovely accommodation and great for kids. We would definitely come again.
