Guest Reviews

“A magic setting on the Knysna lagoon. Very comfortable well-equipped cabins. We had the waterfront ones and we felt it was worth the extra spend.”
“Everything about this establishment is just wonderful. The location, the scenery, the views... Even had bags of wood to braai saving us a trip to go buy wood.”
“Great location with a beautiful view under the Milkwood trees. Lovely very well-equipped log cabin with comfortable beds and good WiFi.”
“The staff were helpful and friendly, and our accommodation was clean and comfortable all topped off by the incredible views and location at the edge of the lagoon.”
