What a gem of a place with Joyce and Graham as your hosts you want for nothing. They will give you loads of info on where to go and what to do. The lodge is very handy for all parts of Knysna. It is an excellently run B&B, friendly, relaxing and clean and I would not hesitate to recommend Candlewood... more

From the moment you step out of the car you feel the hospitality offered here from Joyce and Graham. We couldn't fault the guest house for the design of its rooms and bathrooms (amazing showers), its cleanliness, breakfasts (choice of continental with meats and cheeses or full english, or both if you wanted, plus fruit cereals etc.). The guest house... more

The Candlewood is a true 5 star guest house. The hosts Joyce and Graham have amazing attention to detail with everything, and go out of their way to make everyone welcome. Fantastic location on a quiet street about five minutes drive from the town centre and the Waterfront which has a great choice of restaurants. Set on a hill the... more

We had a wonderful 6 days at Candlewood Lodge with Joyce and Graham. The house was spotless, the views fantastic and an ideal location on the Garden Route for people like us who like to travel and see the area. They looked after us very well and were really helpful on any advise we wanted. Highly recommended and deserves all... more

A group of us stayed at Candlewood in July when we were in Knysna for the marathon. Graham and Joyce were VERY accommodating of our late arrival and they went the extra mile in ensuring we had snacks during our day trips. They also had an early breakfast ready for us on the day of the race. Both of them... more

Candlewood Lodge is a surprise. It's not on the main drag of Knysna but up a hill overlooking the lagoon which meant we had fabulous views from every window. Joyce and Graham are great hosts and really attentive without being intrusive and the rooms are beautiful with good beds and spacious showers! We loved the garden - especially the jacuzzi!... more

Arriving at Candlewood we where greeted by Graham and Joyce who welcomed us into their beautifully looked after lodge. you can see the dedication. For someone that has stayed in just about every corner of Knysna over 15 years, guest lodges can learn a thing or two at Candlewood. Been invited into the lodge by the actual owners and having... more

Candlewood Lodge is a beautiful guest house in Knysna. The room we stayed in was fab! It was very spacious, clean and had a nice balcony with view over the lagoon. The staff were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The only downside was that it was a 40min walk to the town centre so you definitely need a... more

We had not booked in advance so used the facilities offered by the local tourist office. They recommended 5 B&B's and Candlewood was the first we visited. The welcome was excellent so we never made it to the other 4 recommendations. We stayed for 5 nights using it as a base to explore the local area. Overall, the accommodation, cleanliness,... more
