The One, hotel in Knysna

Situated in Knysna, The One features accommodation with a private pool, a patio and pool views. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free private parking.

Our 10-day stay at this remarkable house was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of luxury and comfort that exceeded our wildest expectations. The house itself is a masterpiece of design, with every detail meticulously thought out. The decor is stylish and modern, creating a welcoming and relaxing environment. We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful welcome presents for the kids, a gesture that immediately made us feel at home.The attention to detail throughout the house is truly remarkable. From the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy living spaces, every aspect of the house is designed for both style and comfort. We especially appreciated the extras like firewood, which made our evenings by the fireplace even more enjoyable. Host Philip was fantastic, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. He was always available to answer any questions and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Paul, the owner was also incredible, always ready to assist with any request. The staff from Pezula were outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure that our stay was memorable. They were particularly wonderful with our boys, who had a fantastic time on the golf course. One of the highlights of our stay was the sense of safety and security that the house provided. We felt completely at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time together as a family. We spent many evenings playing board games with our kids until the early hours of the morning, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The scenery surrounding the house is breathtaking, with panoramic views that are truly out of this world. We loved spending time by the pool, soaking in the beauty of our surroundings. A standout experience was kayaking at Noetsi Beach, an adventure that was both exhilarating and serene. The crystal-clear waters and stunning coastline made for a truly unforgettable experience.

    Situated at the end of a road it is very quiet and peaceful. We received a very warm welcome and the host showed us around the cottage and the property. They have a beautiful garden and you have amazing views. The cottage was very cozy and was well equipped. We had a warm shower and the blankets kept us very warm during the night. The hosts even helped us getting the heater started in the living room and made sure we had everything we need.

    Absolutely LOVED Everything - It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we were totally spoilt by Tasha and Gugu. Champaine on arrival at the hot tub - our bed was beautifully decorated with petals and hearts:) Tasha kept in contact every day, and Gugu, what a GEM - made sure the hot tub was always ready for us, our cabin was always beautifully cleaned, and all done with such a friendly, warm smile. I would highly recommend The Knysna Lodge - Excellent value for your money - Thank you Tasha & Team

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    The cottage was well laid out and comfortable. The fact that you could interact with the farm animals added to the experience especially for the kids. Outdoor fireplace was cosy when the electricity went out. Indoor fireplace for the cold evenings and fortunately we did not need it
