About this property

This Victorian guest house in Knysna offers a secluded swimming pool and is a 10-minute walk from the Knysna waterfront. Its country-style rooms come with a TV and coffee/tea facilities. Chequered or flowered bedspreads and curtains decorate the cosy rooms at Yellowwood Lodge. Each room has large windows and elegant furniture. Breakfast is served daily in the English-style dining room with its wooden tables and clocks. Restaurants in Knysna’s centre are a 10-minute walk away from Yellowwood.
