    We had a lovely room with a balcony which overlooked the lagoon and Knysna Head, the view was stunning. The hosts were very attentive and informative and even invited us to a small concert with food and drinks included. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice and the chef managed to cook my scrambled egg to perfection, which is quite an achievement, we have stayed at many establishments over the course of our holiday, mostly five star, but only Candlewood and on other got the eggs right.

    Fabulous in every single aspect. Historic house perfectly maintained. Hostess was so friendly and helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble. Attention to detail flawless, right down to a roaring fire in the dining room the morning we left and the weather was cold and wet. Food excellent, room luxurious, views from terrace outstanding. This place goes beyond 5 star, there is nowhere else I would stay in Knysna.
