    Beautiful location above Knysner - you need a car. The room was lovely as were the views. Pool also an added bonus. All who worked there were lovely

    Loved the round rooms, plenty of space and very comfortable beds. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming and breakfast was great! They also have two gorgeous friendly dogs on the property but don’t worry if you don’t like dogs, they’re kept...

Katrin & Joachim
Our guesthouse is situated in a suburb of Knysna called Welbedacht. Amazing bird life is attracted to our big garden. Our pool area is a great place to relax and swim without leaving the Lodge. Family friendly. Affordable. For the convenience of our guests we have a power supply back-up system in place using photovoltaic energy.
Badger’s Lodge is owner run. We, Katrin & Joachim, are looking forward to welcome you at our home. Ours is a guest house with personal touch. We like travelling through Africa and love to share our guests' holiday experiences.
We are situated in a quiet suburb of Knysna with open spaces and lots of bushes and trees.
