We stayed at Lazy Lion for two nights. The setup was really comfortable and the host made it an incredible experience. They shared their insights on Knysna and South Africa and helped us refine our itenary for better. Interior was very interesting and the room was perfect with an amazing view of “Two Heads”. We loved our morning and evening teas on the balcony. The Breakfast menu was thoughtful of our vegan lifestyle. My wife became a full fan of their home prepared granola.

We had a beautiful stay at this stunning house. Vanessa met us at the gate and showed us around. We got offered a room upgrade and had a few cute cats visiting us in the morning at the terrace. We felt very safe and had the best sleep in the most comfortable bed. There are many restaurant options around for delicious breakfast and dinner that comes with spectacular views.

    De View was the perfect place for us to stay for 3 nights. The location was ideal as it was close to town and many of the attractions we wanted to see. The property itself is clean, neat and very comfortable. The hosts thought of everything one might need. The hosts themselves are amazing! They were ready to help and make our stay comfortable. The breakfast and the view is something to rave about. We could have easily stayed longer.
