For staying in Knysna it is a perfect location: we had a room with a view over the lagoon, they offer breakfast, parking (which will cost 30ZAR extra per day). The staff was super friendly and helpful. you have a nice pool area. And you are right at the waterfront which is beautiful to walk around - or you can go for dining, boat tours.

Good pool area to relax. Safe and easy walk to town and on the doorstep of harbour restaurants. Nice view of harbour from room. A little dated compared to other hotels we’ve stayed during our travels but good and convenient nonetheless.
