House needs some updates.
While the staff was very nice and helpful, I will not recommend this facility to anyone the rooms were old, with visible cracks in the wall and ceiling. No air-conditioning at all. Bed creaked. Definitely not worth the money we paid. There are other facilities in the area that are better.

Disliked: Staff & service
Location was extremely difficult to find at night, even with directions. Employee (Sandy) did stay on phone to assist in our arrival. Owners scolded help at breakfast in front of us about laundry. Very disrespectful and degrading of help. Blind, irritable dog should be kept away from guests!

Rooms
The room we were given smelled damped and seemed like it was used or aired in a long time. The bed sheets had stains on them and looked unwashed. We were given another room and it had the same issue. Stains on the bed sheets and pillows and it smelt damp. We asked for a refund but the owner/manager was not pleased about it. We had to explain that it was not up to standard and it has caused us an inconvenience. Then was given a refund reluctantly. I will definitely not stay here.

Comfortable resort
We had difficulty in locating the resort.The owners need to place correct signage to help visitors to locate the resort easily. Breakfast needs to improve.Microwave and toaster should be easily accessible in the evening.Otherwise the resort is a good place to stay.The view from the terrace is breathtaking.It has lots of privacy.The management interaction is satisfactory.

Very nice part of the Cape
We enjoyed our stay overall and the hotel staff were friendly and efficient. We had a garden cottage which was generally very nice, but we thought it could have been a bit fresher overall, iespecially the shower and around the doors and windows. The weather was not great so the pool was never really clean, either. Disappointed that our dark laundry was left covered in fluff.

A great stay at Knysna Country House
This place was an absolute gem, we had a large bedroom opening on to a private deck. The host and hostess, Eric and Yipe, looked after our every need. We used the braai facilties for our evening meal with charcaol and fire lighters supplied and a table was made up especially for us with a lit candle. Breakfast, served on the patio, was excellent with all the fruits and grains and eggs cooked to order. All in all we found this to be a wonderful place.

Lovely location
Our rooms were in the main part of the house, quite close to the kitchen so, in the mornings, we could hear the staff making breakfast. The location is very quiet with beautiful views from the patio . The owner s are lovely, very friendly and helpful. One day we wanted to go to the beach so they lent us a body board, umbrella and little chairs . We didn't expect that. Breakfast was very good. All in all we would definitely return.

Couldn't have been happier
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay; the rooms were clean and comfortable, we were close to all the important places we wanted to visit, the food was great and the owners were helpful and accomodating. They also gave us some great advice about traveling onwards which was incredibly useful. We would recommend this B&B to anyone and would stay there again without hesitation.

Great B&B
The Knysna Country House is solid 4 out of 5 star B & B. The facility is located on a beautiful property with a wonderful deck and pool area. It's an excellent place to relax and/or to use as a home base in the Kynsna /Plettenberg Bay area. We stayed in the family suite which had two bedrooms and a small sitting area. The suite is perfect for a family of 4 or 5. It has two bedrooms and a large bathroom. We would highly recommend this hotel/ B&B for anyone who wants to spend a few day's in and around Knysna and appreciates a well run, professional B&B.

We were in the Self catering apartment, this was spacious and well equipped with washing machine, fridge freezer and washing line and digital TV channels. the apartment was quite dated,and the carpet in the living room was quite stained, there was also damp in the apartment so either windows open all day, or dehumidifer on. The rest of the shared facilities were excellent, pool beautiful, very clean area with lovely gardens. We would go back again but not to the Self catering unit as this needs updating ASAP!
