Top Knysna Hotel Reviews

Knysna Log-Inn Hotel

8/10 Good

"Having booked online a basic room, we enquired re upgrading and the staff were really helpful. They showed me a some different rooms and the process was very smooth. The staff were happy to help. We opted for the second floor and had a spacious room with an armchair and lounge which I always find an advantage after a days drive. The hotel is a little bit tired, however it’s central, it’s clean and the staff are more than happy to meet all your requests."

Guinea Fowl Lodge

8/10 Good

"My family of four stayed in the family room. We were a little disappointed, not to have a view of the town, but it is the only room that sleeps for. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast were excellent in the morning, a great way to start the day. This is a great place to spend a couple of nights."
