A huge thank you to Marion and David and their beautiful Armadillo Studios! We stayed four nights and would have loved to have stayed longer. The accommodation, setting, pool and hospitality were superb; it was the best stay of our whole trip. Marion and David go out of their way to help and we highly recommend Armadillo above all accommodation...

What a joy it was to return to Armadillo Studios after a gap of three years. I had been looking forward to Marion & David’s hospitality for a long time and they were as welcoming as ever. This is a lovely haven of tranquillity above Knysna with a garden of spectacular planting now well grown in. My room was a...

Many thanks indeed. It's always wonderful to welcome returning guests and we're so glad you enjoyed your stay as much as the first time. Hopefully, we won't have to wait another 3 years before we see you again!

We stayed 6 days in Armadillo Studios and these were the most wonderful days of our South Africa trip. It was not only because of the nice and spacious rooms with the luxurous bathrooms, not only because of the beautiful garden with its lovely swimming pool, not only because of the fantastic location in Knysna hills or the fantastic fruit...

This is such an amazing review, it nearly brought tears to our eyes! Thank you very much indeed. We're happy that you enjoyed your stay so much. It was good fun star-gazing with you. We only wish we were clever enough to know the names of more constellations in the amazing South African night sky. Maybe we'll take up astronomy...

We stayed here for 5 nights and simply could not have wished for a better experience. David & Marion ( the owners ) are simply brilliant - they have thought of everything, they were so friendly, helpful and considerate, we genuinely felt as if they had been friends for years. The studio rooms are all extremely well equipped, spacious with...

We're so glad that you enjoyed exploring Knysna as well as staying at the Armadillo - it's a truly unique town & a lovely place to live....

Knysna is one of the places you have to visit on the Garden Route. We can recommend you Armadillo Studios 100%, the best choice in Knysna. We booked a 2 bedroom appartment for 3 nights (to short!!) with a private terrace and braai facilities. Every day a very good breakfast (fresh fruit, yoghurt, toast, eggs to your choice). The second...

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed your breakfast pancakes as much as I enjoyed making them!

A self-catering or B&B near the golf course, Knysna heads and a short trip from the town centre. Marion and David’s home is beautifully decorated in a modern, elegant, almost minimalist fashion, and the accommodation is a fluid extension of this. David’s brilliant photography can be seen throughout the rooms, which have all the modern comforts. This is like going...

I can't tell you how rewarding - and heartwarming - it was to receive your review. It's wonderful to know that guests understand and appreciate the environment and atmosphere that we strive to create here...not to mention the cordial relationships that we like to build with our visitors. It's always special to receive a positive review, but this one really...

We stayed here 5 nights and were very sorry to have to leave. We had studio 2 which was huge. Marion and David really have thought of everything to make visitors comfortable. The rooms are modern and fresh with touches of Africa in the colour scheme and decor which were sadly missing from some of our other accommodation on our...

We stayed two nights at these studios which are really spacious, very clean and set in the most beautiful garden with a pool.
Marion welcomed us as if we were old friends and we had a drink together before heading out for dinner on her recommendation-34 Degrees North which was gorgeous.
We enjoyed brekkie next morn on the terrace, lovely...

Thank you both so much for taking the time to write a review - we really do appreciate it. Glad you liked the home-made hash browns - we'll definitely put them on our menu more frequently. Incidentally, the restaurant you liked is called 34 Degrees South (not North...I think that would locate it in California!), but I'm sure other visitors...

Knysna is an excellent base for exploring the garden route's many attractions, and our five nights in Armadillo Studios allowed us to do this in style and comfort. During our welcoming glass of wine on the terrace, we realised that we had chanced upon something more than just superb accommodation. To get that out of the way first: the suites...

Thank you SO much for the glowing review! We're particularly glad you enjoyed the birdlife in our garden - it's amongst the best free entertainment around and it's lovely to know that guests appreciate it. We read your contribution to the South Africa Forum - it really is excellent and I'm sure it's of great value to would-be visitors to...
