We recently had the pleasure of staying at Mike and his wife's lovely bed and breakfast, and I can confidently say it was an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by both hosts and made to feel right at home. Mike and his wife were truly wonderful hosts, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and always on hand to offer advice and recommendations on things to see and do in the area. But the real highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the delicious breakfast that was served in the morning. From freshly baked pastries to homemade jams, every dish was prepared with love and care, using only the finest, locally-sourced ingredients. Overall, I can't recommend this bed and breakfast highly enough. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing getaway, with wonderful hosts and mouth-watering breakfast, then look no further than Mike and his wife's charming establishment. I guarantee you won't be disappointed! Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The 2 bedroom "cabin" was beautifully decked out with a comfortable sofa, comfy beds and a nice wooden outdoor dining setting and deck chairs on the verandah, which had a lovely partial view of the Knysna lagoon. All the kitchen pots, utensils and crockery is Le Creuset, which impressed us, and was nice to use. The braai worked well and kindling and firewood was included. The lovely the lagoon was great for relaxing under the milkwood trees, and to step off for a swim in the lagoon at high tide.

This is a mistake have stay over once in Knysna. A host is amazing - you can spend a night in a very safe environment, the apartment is very well equipped and super clean. Walking distance to sunset crusises from Thesen Island. We felt very well taken care of and had a wonderful relaxing evening and night in an amazing surroundings. Definitely worth recommending.

    I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

    Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

    My wife and I loved the beach viewing points. The private beach is really cool and awesome as you can walk further in without going deep in. We loved the cabins, access to town is easy and close by.
