A True Haven

This resort has a breath-taking view of the beach and the accommodations are beyond excellent. Having the restaurants on the property was an extra convenient bonus; the food and service was wonderful! The management and staff @ Brenton Haven is warm, welcoming & accommodating.

Excellent hotel with beautiful beach.

Visited in November- beach practically empty. Saw dolphins from room and beach. Great for families with kids of any age. Can walk about 4-5k on beach. No WiFi in room so if you need WiFi In room, would not recommend. Hotel advertises WiFi but does NOT work. Very clean. 15 min drive to Knysna, minimal facilities in Brenton Haven so very quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful view and wonderful Rooms

Amazinf views from each room, everythkng was just perfect for a vacation. The staff was great, friendly and helpful. The only reason for me to give a 4 star on Room Comfort was no availabilty of internal phone service. We were a large group and we didn't have a hotel phone to call each other or the reception. We had to go to reception or call from our cell phones. Everything else was just perfect. Will definately go there again!

Great location close to the beach but..

The location is great although the sea view from the room was sadly interrupted by the corrugated roof of the restaurant.. The room itself was very spacious and clean but the extremely mean approach to wifi access - just 20 minutes free!? - is something that leaves a very sour taste for a property of this price level. For that reason alone I would not recommend it.

Would definitely go back!

We loved our 2 bedroom suite. It was a beautiful room with an ocean view. The staff was amazing, friendly, and knowledgeable. The food was great at both the deli and the restaurant. We enjoyed the beach and the gym! There was not much around the hotel, so would definitely want a car to get into town. But a perfect place to relax with beautiful views!

Great Spot On the Indian Ocean

We stayed here for two nights. The property characterizes the suite we stayed in as semi-self catering, meaning that there is no daily maid service, however, this does not detract from what was a beautiful two room condominium style suit with lovely living area, serviceable kitchen and large bedroom with large bath, including a big bathtub and separate shower. Sliding glass doors took you to two separate small outside patio areas, one a lookout and the other with table and chairs and built in grill. But what made this property was an amazing unobstructed view of the shoreline looking out over the Indian Ocean, with a foot path from the unit a short walk to the sandy beach. Good restaurant on premises. Enclosed designated parking spot. This is a delightful romantic getaway at a reasonable price. Near Knysna. Highly recommended.

Poderia ter sido melhor

Acomodação com dois quartos com boas camas e bem limpo, sala, cozinha bem equipada e varanda com um linda vista. Não dei nota máxima pois ficamos sem água quente, a energia caia a todo momento, e não tinha mais ninguém na recepção quando tentamos pedir apoio, um segurança que nos deu suporte e restabeleceu o aquecimento da água. O café da manhã se inicia às 8:00, achamos tarde.

Beim Abendessen ist die frisch gemachte Sushiplatte Weltklasse! Beim Frühstück ist der Cappuccino gesondert zu zahlen, die Brote sind so hart, dass alle Gäste mit den unscharfen Messern irgendwann aufgeben und nur den Belag essen.Das Omlett ist sehr fettig! Die Mitarbeiter des Restaurants sind bemüht, aber unorganisiert.
