We stayed at Lazy Lion for two nights. The setup was really comfortable and the host made it an incredible experience. They shared their insights on Knysna and South Africa and helped us refine our itenary for better. Interior was very interesting and the room was perfect with an amazing view of “Two Heads”. We loved our morning and evening teas on the balcony. The Breakfast menu was thoughtful of our vegan lifestyle. My wife became a full fan of their home prepared granola.

We arrived at dusk in a tired and wet state after a sorry experience at a wildlife park on a very rainy day.Dear Leafy gave us such a welcome it helped revive our spirits, just what we needed. Lana showed us around the stunning hotel and our amazing room with spectacular view. We were really looked after. We were able to order a pizza and purchase a bottle of wine. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The staff were friendly and the service exceptional.

We loved the location and interior design of this apartment. It is definitely in the top 3 of nicest accommodations we stayed at in South Africa. Located at walking distance from the Waterfront and just a really nice apartment to 'come home' to and relax. We highly recommend. The self check in process makes it easy to choose your own arrival time, which we very much appreciated.

    De View was the perfect place for us to stay for 3 nights. The location was ideal as it was close to town and many of the attractions we wanted to see. The property itself is clean, neat and very comfortable. The hosts thought of everything one might need. The hosts themselves are amazing! They were ready to help and make our stay comfortable. The breakfast and the view is something to rave about. We could have easily stayed longer.
