The room was quite nice but we were booked for 4 nights and the weather was really atrocious. The owners refused to let us out of our booking and insisted if we left after 1 or 2 nights they would have to charge us for all 4 nights. After 3 days of rain and no sun they relented slightly and... More

Joyce and Graham Greenwood were an absolute joy. We were travelling the Garden Route on our honeymoon and Candlewood Lodge was perfect for us to spend two realxing nights in this wonderful guest house. On realising it was our honeymoon Graham heated up the jacuzzi and put the champagne on ice for us to share a romantic moment. The room... More

Graham & Joyce were really friendly and a font of local knowledge and we took up a couple of their recommendations, which we thoroughly enjoyed. A bit too far to walk into town but taxis are no problem and not expensive. LIke other guests before us, we felt welcomed by Graham & Joyce to their house and nothing was too... More

My wife and i decided to spend Xmas with the family visiting Knysna for 2011.Our last minute decision left us with few options for accommodation. Candlewood Lodge was in our opinion the best choice if you are looking for a relaxed home way from home holiday experience.Joyce & Graham with their efficient staff are the most friendliest hosts you can...

Candlewood is not situated in the heart of Knysna, so this might be a problem for some, but we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and found the owners to be very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was very good, although some guests had to share a large table, which isn't always to everybodies liking. The pool is not massive, but it's... More

Immaculate B&B, run very efficiently by the owners Joyce and Graham and their staff. Joyce and Graham seem to be constantly present to assist and advise you with great kindness, good humour and encyclopaedic knowledge of the area. Lovely breakfast cooked to your order if you so desire, on top of the usual buffet of cereals, fruit, cheese, yoghurts etc.... More

We were warmly welcomed on arrival and given some good tips for places to visit and eat. Breakfast the next day was excellent and we were sad... More
