It was really great to stay at the Lagoon Apartment. The apartment is really modern and stylish. The location was good and quiet (just before the main area), views of the river/sea was exceptional. I should not forget to mention the great hostess also!

had a fantastic experience at Beacon House in Knysna. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and beautifully furnished—everything you could possibly need was thoughtfully provided. The sea view from the room was simply breathtaking and added so much to the relaxing atmosphere. A special thank you to Amarille, the manager, for her warm hospitality and professionalism—she truly went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury, cleanliness, and tranquility in Knysna. I would definitely stay here again!

An excellent stay at Amanzi where we were able to experiment two different rooms. Both were very comfy. The fisherman suite is awesome with its private pool and very large bathroom. The view from the room is stunning. We loved to be able to do kayaking in the morning (the hotel provides kayak for free). Miriam was very diligent to help us booking some nice restaurants always with a wonderful view seating.

The location is unbelievable. The pictures do not do it justice. The room is gorgeous, airy with the most amazing views. You are literally on the lagoon with the sounds of the waves and the sea breeze. It is like heaven. Check-in is simple and Charmaine is amazingly helpful. The 2 restaurants are literally on your doorstep as are a great snorkeling and swimming beach. You cannot get better. WIFI was great. Only small (non issue) was the water pressure which is a little irregular, but hey that is it.

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.
