Pezula likely offers best views in Knyssna. The staff, from front desk, spa restaurants are just wonderful and very accommodating. Our 5-year old daughter was offered a massage in a spa which was the highlight of her holidays. The outdoor swimming pool and rooms are excellent. Highly recommend.

This colonial style building and grounds are in a beautiful scenic setting. Comfortable, clean, and welcoming. Fantastic home cooked evening meal by Josephine, the wife had a steak cooked to perfection, and I had the lamb curry. The breakfasts are to die for. The property is close (20 mins) to the wonderful remote, not busy Buffalo beach with an endless sandy beach and shallow clean water. The UrbanGirl cafe/restaurant is superb and is 10 minutes drive away. The Muse cocktail bar is 10 mins walk away and has a lovely garden to enjoy good priced food and drinks.

Orange Inn Knysna

Knysna

We stayed here in mid November 2024 after searching Google Maps for cheap B&B accommodation. We came to Orange Inn with low expectations but were amazed to find a sparkling, almost-new, modern hotel with (I think) five or six rooms. Our room (Falcon) was fully outfitted, and even had a safe in the closet. In most places we stayed, we couldn't get the TV to work but here, the TV not only worked but included a good selection of global channels (so most overseas visitors can keep up to date with events back home). The staff (a manager and two girls) couldn't be faulted for their friendly approach and helpfulness, and I'd like to give Rose a mention in particular — her warm smile and gentle humour made us feel welcome immediately. Breakfast was excellent, and with a wide variety. I recommend the omelette, while my wife was delighted to be offered poached eggs. Well done, girls! You looked after us beautifully and we were sorry to have to move on.

    Our room had a jacuzzi. It was nice and romantic. The hotel is also 6km from TheHeads where you get to see the beautiful Knysna views. We jogged to the heads and took an Uber back. It was very lovely.
