Disliked: Room comfort

Im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften enttäuschend

Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal und Management. Die Holzhütten sind aus dem 90ern und sehr einfach, aber geräumig, mit Terasse, Weber-Grill und sauber. Für uns war es nicht das, was wir uns für den Preis vorgestellt hatten.

Sehr schönes Chalet am Fluss

Sehr gut ausgestattetes Chalet für 4 Personen in wunderschöner Gartenanlage. im Chalet ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Die Riverfront mit ihren vielen Lokalen ist in wenigen Autominuten erreicht. Für Kinder wird in der Anlage viel geboten (Minigolf, kleine Papageienvolliere uvm). Von der Terrasse konnte man die Lagune sehen. Alles sehr empfehlenswert.

Hübsche Ferienhaussiedlung am Wasser

Die Bungalows sind sehr grosszügig. Wir hatten zwei Badezimmer. Auf der Terrasse hät es einen Kugelgrill. In Gehdistanz, schön am Wasser entlang, gelangt man zum kleinen Hafen von Knysna. Hier hat es viele Restaurants und Läden.

Quaint little get away.

We had a good stay. The location was great. The chalet was really nice too. The only thing we didn't like was the small public jacuzzi and sauna. Only two to three people could get in at a time. The bicycles that we rented were also really old and needed a good service.

Nice option for families in knysna

This was a great place to spend a night on knysna. Each chalet is very well maintained and spacious. The only issue was the wifi which was limited. We would definitely return.
