Everything. Beautiful view, easy checkin/out, plenty of space in the sea view, great patio view, great location almost on the end of the head, great host ask what you like, he knows so many places to go and see, no safety concerns could not recommend enough. We are from U.S. it’s absolutely beautiful here and resembles Hawaii in many ways. Will return and stay again. View is from the top roof deck. Across you’ll see the other mountain head which is featherbed reserve. If you zoom in on the mountain base you see the arch and some of the walk. Enjoy and take care of it and you

An incredibly well-decorated apartment with extremely hospitable hosts. Tina and Mel are seriously taking care of their guests. My mother was amazed that nothing was missing in this apartment. The attention to detail is outstanding, both regarding the beauty of the inside of the apartment and the functionality of it. The apartment is also very well located extremely close to a nice walking path along the lagoon and also within walking distance of the quays/ waterfront of Knysna.

The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.
