Relaxing and in a quiet area. No a/c but was comfortable sleeping at night. Great breakfast and Henry was more than kind. Thai massage on site at great price. Cool vibe.

Quirky guesthouse with it’s own distinct personality. Very welcoming & complimentary shuttlebus to & from Knysna centre was a definite bonus!
