"Absolutely beautiful little guesthouse overlooking Knysna's harbor. Very spacious and comfortable room with free coffee, water, and a very nice bed. Opportunity to have breakfast on our balcony overlooking the water, which was amazing. Overall, could not recommend more!"

"Cecil and Colleen who were our hosts were so friendly and helpful, and our Premier Room's sea view from our room and private balcony was superb. Breakfasts were so enjoyable, with a good choice of cold and cooked food. Parking was also great and secure."

"Jeffrey was excellant. The swimming pool was clean and beautifully located. Under new management i did feel there was no one around when there was a problem. It needed someone on sight to sort things out. The standard rooms were also on the small side. We thought we had booked a bungalow. "

"Beautiful spacious room with fabulous balcony view. Breakfasts were fabulous. Our host Kevin, was wonderfully gracious and attentive. He prooved to be a wonderful source of information with superb recommendations of things to do in the area. We had a glorious stay!"

"Very clean, and enjoyable stay."

"My husband and I were so looking forward to finally staying here. We come to South Africa yearly and stay for a couple months bc he is from here and we treated ourselves for my 40th birthday. However; we were super disappointed with this hotel. Our room needed maintenance and smelled of mildew, there was construction going on in the room next door and also right outside our patio the whole time, (I thought this would be a peaceful nature retreat) there was no ac, we weren’t allowed to use the bathtub or outdoor heated jacuzzi bc there was a drought (main reason I booked this hotel) the staff was always on their phones, we were told the restaurant was all booked up the day we arrived so we had to do room service which only starts at 6 pm and serves pizza or pasta?! The towels in the room all smelled of gasoline and manure, the list goes on! I’m not one to write a negative review but we paid over $300/night at this “luxury” hotel which is a lot in South Africa and this place was just not worth it at all. "

"Lovely place to stay in central knysna , impressive wooden atrium, polite staff and helpful as we stayed an extra night with a discount. Down side no lifts so not suitable for people with mobility issues "

"Brenton on the Rocks is, without a doubt, one of the most magnificent guesthouses I have ever experienced. Perched right on the cliffs, the location is breathtaking, but it’s the hospitality and attention to detail that truly set it apart. What We Loved: • The Setting: There is a beautiful, hidden private beach accessible via a path directly from the property. It felt like our own secret paradise. • The Room & Property: Our suite was beautifully appointed and decorated with impeccable taste. The high-end finishes and the "little things" throughout the property constantly delighted us. • The Food & View: The meals were amazing. We spent our breakfasts in the dining area mesmerized by dolphins playing in the waves below—a truly unforgettable start to the day. • Superior Service: The owner, Nico, and his daughter were incredibly attentive and accommodating. They went out of their way to arrange both an early check-in and a late check-out for us, making our stay seamless. • Convenience: Having a secure parking garage with direct, easy access to our room provided great peace of mind and convenience. The level of care and incredible attention to detail here is rare. I cannot recommend this guesthouse highly enough to anyone traveling in the area. I am already counting down the days until my next visit!"

"Beautiful room with the most amazing view. Eating a delicious breakfast on our terrace was just heavenly. The staff here are wonderful, they couldn’t be more helpful, but never in an intrusive way. I’d like to give a special mention to Tracey who greeted us with a smile and answered all our queries. The only minor niggle for us was that after a week of travel we had planned to do our laundry here but they are not currently offering a laundry service however we did find a self service laundrette in town. If you’re thinking of booking here you will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend highly enough. "
