Scenic spot
Scenic spot on nice waterfront. Good swimming and canoeing available free. Some cabins on steep steps with views, others easier access with limited views. Can walk across the sands at low tide but car needed for visiting Knysna to do anything else. Small café nearby for breakfast, 2/3 miles to bars and restaurants.

It was not what we were expecting. all the properties are right on top of each other and there is really no privacy
What made me give less that a 10 is that I was expecting more peace, based on the pictures. Bungalows are very close together and everybody was BBquing. Holiday weekend. Hard to sleep early and even breathe, with the smoke. Other than that, perfect location
Localizado em uma área de vegetação exuberante e de belas paisagens próxima ao The Heads View Point. Se você decidir ficar hospedado por aqui é recomendável que venha de carro. Como o resort fica de frente para um lago e ficamos hospedados no inverno (julho/2019), as temperaturas estavam ainda mais baixas. O único senão é que a unidade na qual ficamos não possuia sistema de aquecimento/calefação e a minha esposa reclamou muito do frio à noite.
We were impressed by the cleanliness and professionalism of your staff. We loved the quietness and tranquility of the chalets. Thanks for the unforgettable memories.
A charming log cabin very close to the water in an idyllic spot

Nice hotel close to beach
If you are ok with self catering this place is good. The only problem was parking was tight when all spaces filled you had to work hard to get small car out of allocated space
We loved this hotel. The cabins are beautifully decorated with everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and more. It is on the lagoon which is stunning and just a short drive up to the eastern head viewing point. Would definitely recommend this.

The resort is in a great area, when booking get a chalet on the waters edge.
The resort was nice and had beach activities. The location of the resort is really nice and property itself is beautiful and maintained. The parking on uneven surface is tricky, otherwise parking is not an issue. You can park car just next to your chalet. Overall we liked the resort.
everything was excellent. the upgrade to the waterfront room was completely worth it. Only thing that was not OK was the WiFi. Our room had no signal or a very weak signal at best. We gave up on using it.
The place for space and relaxation on Garden Route
Lovely self-catering chalets, on the lagoon with private access to it. Well appointed chalets, bathroom and shower room, deck and barbecue facilities, easy access to shops, the town and restaurants but peaceful and easy going. Nothing on the TV so we had a DVD streamed to us. There is a small amount of free wifi, but it is available all around Knysna or you can buy extra time from Reception. We found it an excellent spot to recharge our batteries for the next round of travelling and eating.
This is a great place to stay in knysna and we would recommend this for families with great access to the lagoon within walking distance as well as the heads.
