Once we found the Blue Oyster (at the top of the hillside) we were well pleased. I think we had the best room in the house which could not be faulted. Service by Vanessa and Charmaine was efficient, charming and helpful. I recommend this small hotel to couples; whether its location and outside space is good for families I'm not... More

I would highly recommend the Blue Oyster to anybody visiting Knysna. Vanessa and Charmaine are excellent hosts and very knowledgeable on what to see and where to eat. The room that I shared with my daughter was very spacious and what a fantastic view! Everything was just wonderful and it was the highlight of my trip.

Picturesque Guest House with one of the best views of Knysna - and just a minute's drive downhill to town. Amazingly clean and well appointment rooms, friendly owners, delicious breakfast. Truly a home away from home. Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed for 4 nights here, and being our first trip to Knysna we were not disappointed. The luxury rooms we booked( we booked both with the other couple with us even having space for a camper cot for there 10 month year old) were spacious and lovely. The best thing more so than the fact that the rooms had... More

We stayed 3 nights at the Blue Oyster and experienced a wonderfull stay not at least caused by the hospitality offered by Vanessa and Charmaine. They did all possible to inform us about the ins and outs of Knysna, arranging restaurants (even arranging sole, which was not on the menu of a specific restaurant) all because it was Elly's birthday....

My wife and I spent 1 night in Knysna at the Blue Oyster B&B and thought it was great. We were actually the only guests (there are only 3 rooms) and we had the run of the entire place. Vanessa helped us settle in - she upgraded us to the luxury room since it was empty - and got us... More

Stayed three nights in knysna and thought we would be hard pressed to have found better accommodation than Blue Oyster. Super location with views to really appreciate. Felt really welcomed with lots of good advice on where to go and what to do. Super breakfast and service. Would not hesitate to return.

We two stayed one night in Knysna and were very pleased with Blue Oyster. Our room was very comfortable and had an amazing view. Breakfast was very good and Vanessa had good suggestions for restaurants and activities. We would definitely stay there again.
