The view from the balcony was amazing. Directory above the (eastern head) viewpoint. Breakfast was great and the bed was super comfortable. It was clean and it even had a view from the (large!) bathtub in the bathroom.

TwoAngels, hotel in Knysna

Located in a cottage-style house directly on the edge the Knysna Lagoon, TwoAngels offers a variety of uniquely designed self-catering accommodation with panoramic views.

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.

    The location is wonderful and just a few minutes walk to the lagoon. The property has a lovely garden and a swimming pool which was very refreshing. Lovely birdlife in the area. We had a nice patio in the upstairs loft and enjoyed some evenings having a braai and sitting outdoors. The staff are all very helpful and very friendly. The premises are pet friendly and a number of people brought their dogs. Bikes and supboards are available free of charge for use by the guests.
