Pros: Like out of a fairytale, this place was our favorite in our three week trip to South Africa. Everything you might need was carefully thought of. Starting with the breathtaking views of the lagoon that you can see from the bed itself, to the perfect room with the beautiful bathroom and extremely comfortable bed, the private balcony, the delicious breakfast, the scenic pool. Above all that stood the outstanding hospitality provided by the lovely hosts, taking their time to make everyone feel at home, giving us all the information and new ideas with great care and knowledge to make our stay there even better. Kate and Natalie are genuine, kind hearted and intelligent. We got great tips from them that matched exactly what we were looking for. They simply master what they do. You will miss this place.

Pros: This is by far the best place we have stayed in whilst travelling South Africa. We could not fault them in any way. The place was very clean. The breakfast was lovely and the owners Kate and Nathalie were second to none. They gave us great recommendations on things to do/places to eat and were always on hand if needed. A 10/10 stay and would 100% stay here again if we come back in Knysna.

Pros: Beautiful views from the property and only 10 min walk into the town. Kate and Nathalie were excellent hosts, arranging restaurants, taxis and lots of great tips on where to visit. Lovely stay.

Pros: Loved the facility to use the bikes to cycle around the lagoon as well as being able to use the kayaks. The evening meal menu was extremely reasonable and the breakfast outside overlooking the lagoon was awesome. A wonderful range of books including travel within South Africa from their lounge as well as always having coffee and water available. An added bonus for Parkrun addicts is that Knysna Park Run with an early 8am start is only a 7 minute drive.

Pros: We ordered two chicken wraps which we did not enjoy at all- infact we didn't eat them. The breakfast was great though.
Cons: I didn't like that the self service lime green kitchen doesn't have cutlery and walking around each time you require something was tiresome. Our phone in room 1 didn't work, so we had to walk out to request an iron. I also hated that we were forced to keep our door closed because our neighbours were smoking half the time and the smell was coming straight into our rooms. I'd recommended having designated smoking areas.

Pros: We stayed in Suite 4 - with excellent view of Knsyna lagoon and heads, which was pleasant and extremely relaxing. We drove to Hamilton Manor and the place was easy to find with GPS. After parking the car, we were greeted with welcome drink and helped to our room. Maria, the host, also provided some very interesting tips on restaurants and things to do in the region. We did take her advice about restaurant and definitely enjoyed the food! Initially we booked only for a day - but location and views were so pretty that we ended up extending our stay by another day. The hosts really tried to make our stay comfortable and we are thankful to them. Guests should be mindful that the whole region does faces drought like conditions. As respect to the local community, kindly do save water.

Pros: This was a fantastic base from which to explore Knysna and the other attractions of The Garden Route. Our hosts Maria and Martin were very welcoming and were friendly and attentive throughout our four night stay. Our room was clean and very spacious with access to a private garden terrace. Breakfast was great, with cereals and fruit followed by a hot course cooked to order. The breakfast terrace afforded breathtaking views over Knysna lagoon and was the perfect start to the day. Wonderful hosts and a great location. Thoroughly recommended.
