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.

What an amazing location. The most beautiful spot in Knysna. You have beautiful views of the ocean and the lagoon. Breakfast was included and on site and was absolutely delicious. While having breakfast and overlooking the lagoon we planned our day with the help of Lana, the most wonderful and gracious host - before we knew it she assisted us with making a booking on the most amazing catamaran experience which goes through the entry way between the heads. I am in two minds about giving feedback on the room because I would love nothing more than to gatekeep it forever but omg! You must book the deluxe executive room the one that overlooks the entry point where ocean meets lagoon it is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much to Lana and the ladies for making our stay so memorable! We will definitely be back! We miss you all like you are family! Special shootout to "liefie" the doggo who was the hostest with the mostest for sure!
