Lovely hotel stayed here for two nights. Rooms very clean and spacious staff very friendly. Would definitely return to this hotel if staying in this area again. Gardens were beautiful and tidy despite the onset of the winter! Kynsna itself is very clean and only about a 15 minute walk from this hotel into Knysna. A visit to the Featherbed... More

The rooms here are all spread out over a large area. The rooms are dated and have obviously been here for a long long time. There is a wall heater which is useful for quick drying socks, etc, and a separate bathroom with toilet and large large shower. Old style basin with mixer. Shower worked fine with plenty of pressure... More

We were booked here as a party of five and were upgraded to their chalets. These hobbit houses with thatched roofs are very large and quit charming. The roaring fire was needed to take off the chill, tile floors and stone walls kept in the damp. The one pitiful electric heater did little to warm the morning. Breakfast was typical... More

We held our annual sales & marketing conference at Knysna Hollow in Jan 2013. It really was such a great venue to have a conference at.
