We checked in on April 26th, 2010 for two nights. This hotel is amazing and we wanted to stay longer if our travel plans permitted. They have thought of everything from flower pedals spread all over the rooms, to free brandy to welcome you, to a box of free creature comforts (candles, bath oils, toiletries, electrical adapters, slippers, etc...) The staff are beyond friendly and helpful. The rooms are amazing. You have your own log cabin with a private bedroom (fantastic bed & comforter), large bathroom, kitchen, and living room. There is also a large deck to sit out on. The breakfast was great - hot food and continental available at your choice, all included in the price and plate service. The pool and grounds are lovely. It is like being in a tropical paradise. It is quiet and quaint. I highly recommend this lodge. It is close to the Knysna waterfront ( 2 min drive) and yet in a very safe area. There is free secure parking available. Internet access available for free. The spa is great - I had a massage and it was wonderful. Really, I can't say enough positive things about this place. The owner prides themselves on being the hotel that thinks of everything and it shows. They do as much possible to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. In terms of value for your money, this place was very affordable compared to other hotels in the area but in my opinion is one of the top hotels in Knysna. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!
