Memorable
We decided to revisit for our anniversary. Because of Covid it was not very crowded but the level of service was as good as we had previously experienced. Friendly welcome, efficient staff and very comfortable cabins which not even Eskom could diminish. Certainly it will not be our last visit.

Beautiful and relaxing resort
We booked a Deluxe Room Garden View and I'm guessing we must have been upgraded because what we got was a 3 bedroom house! The welcome at reception and then the irrepressible 'Jeffrey' was great, rooms were spotless, beds / linen very comfortable, breakfast spread was good and all in a beautiful garden setting overlooking the lake in a collection of colonial style cottages / houses.

Great visit with old friends
We had friends visiting from Europe and we thought that Belvidere Manor would be a perfect base to explore Knysna and surrounds. My wife and i spent a weekend there in June and we enjoyed it so much that we planned a second trip. Everything was as we expected. The rooms are well laid out, very comfortable. Service from ever busy Jeffrey and his was exceptional. Whether we were just relaxing over a G&T enjoying the view of the lagoon or breakfasting on the terrace, we could find no faults. We will definitely visit again

weekend break
A weekend in mid winter, logs and firelighters were brought so that we could have an open fire in the evening. The room is very well laid out and comfortable. Wi Fi ok. Bit disappointing that the restaurant wasn't open as it is winter but we were not told when we booked and it is a fair drive into Knysna for dinner which we didn't really want. The staff were very attentive and efficient. The views over the lagoon are splendid

Beautiful hotel
Belvedere Manor is situated across the lagoon from Knysna where all the shops etc are (a ten minute drive away) We loved Belvedere Manor because of its quiet location and had a magnificent view across the lagoon. The cottage we stayed in was lovely - clean, spacious and the kitchen was extremely well fitted our. There is a lovely pub onsite which served wonderful pub food and there's also a bistro on site for more restaurant style meals. Staff at the Belvedere were lovely. There was just one little thing I didn't like - the wifi access. Although it was free, you had to go to reception every morning to get a new wifi code code which was limited to 100 megabite. If you wanted to use the Internet a lot, it meant you had to go and get another code.

Gem of Knysna. You made our family Xmas trip !
We were a family of 9 from 11 to 74 on a Xmas/New Year trip. I had booked 10 mths in advance. The staff were ALL amazing. From the first minute we arrived to leaving 3 days later they could not have been more helpful. The pub, Caroline's Bistro. Breakfast on the terrace, food and service is sublime. There was nothing to be improved on. The star of the show is undoubtedly Geoffrey. Wonderful, fresh, No 1 service, super dooper, lovely jubbly.! This is a dream come true. We shall recommend it to anyone. We shall definitely come back. Thank you for your amazing hospitality. X
