    Sue, Danielle and the staff were so friendly. Nothing was too much. Made you feel at home. If I ever come back to Knynsa, I would stay at the Falcon View Manor.

    I would have liked a bit more vegetables incorporated into the breakfasts e.g. zucchini fritters or something along those lines.

    The breakfasts were very good as well as the service. The view from the front terrace was lovely. Spent quite a bit of time on that terrace. The room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. The airconditioning really helped for hot afternoons. The staff catered to our every need with such friendliness and promptness. We loved the turn down service and chocolate each evening. Dinner was very good. All in all we wanted a relaxing holiday and we got just that.

    The only negative is that it is up a steep hill but you can't have great views without a bit of altitude. This wasn't a problem as taxis were readily available to take you up or down the hill.

    Everything was very good and five evenings a week they offer a restaurant service with excellent home cooked meals. Staff very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them. The property has a wrap around veranda overlooking Knysna lagoon, which is great for sundowners. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Plenty of car parking space. The property is set in a pleasant garden and enjoys a pool with plenty of sunbeds and chairs to soak up the sunshine.

    A period property built by The Thessin Family it is beautiful with stunning grounds and views of Knysna Bay. We enjoyed delicious breakfasts and a dinner which we would highly recommend. Daniella the manager ensured nothing was left to chance and she and her team gave us amazing service.

    If I had to pick one thing is that the breakfast could vary more. We stayed 3 nights and there was basically no variation.

    The staff and location was outstanding, really comfy beds and a beautiful garden with amazing rooms. Dinner (wine and food) also really delicious!

    Everything was excellent

    Beautiful traditional hotel with wonderful staff. Our room (garden superior) was very spacious, beautifully decorated with a lovely terrace area. The bed was the most comfortable we had throughout the garden route. We ate dinner at the hotel on our first night and the meal was excellent. The hosts were friendly and very informative about the surrounding area. They even gave us some recommendations for the next town we were visiting in respect of things to do and places to eat and all recommendations were excellent - just wish we could have stayed at this hotel longer.

    Amazing view over Knysna, staying in one of the most iconic houses of the city, overviewing the whole bay. Very helpfull staff and friendly service. Beautifull garden, where breakfast is served. And a nicely integrated pool. One of the real bonus points for serving small and large portions for adults in the restaurant.

    The only thing we didn't like was the TV that wasn't playing clear, maybe because it was too windy I don't know, but the TV didn't give a clear view.

    Lagoon view, Breakfast, very friendly staff, room was very neat and clean. Swimming pool were very clean, Kagel fire there were board games as well. Books to read.

    Not much. Just had to duck my head sometimes in the loft room. But the vibe and the view more than compensated for the inconvenience.

    Lovely property, ambiance fantastic, great views and fantastic staff. Classic charm. Front deck and pool lovely.

    Beautiful Manor House and great hospitality. We loved everything about this place. Old world elegance, modern comforts, great food and excellent service. Probably our favourite stay of the trip and excellent value. This was the home built by the Thessen family who started the logging industry in turn and was like stepping back in history
