We enjoyed a wonderful three night break at Simola Hotel & Spa in Knysna in April 2012. We were treated to a one bedroom suite (room C3A) with a full kitchen and living room. It was by far one of the nicest hotel rooms I have ever stayed in (and I have been lucky enough to stay in many luxury... More

Stayed at this hotel for 1 night. Check in staff were ok, polite but not overly so. We stayed in an ensuite room but noticed that the other rooms were part of 2 bedroom apartments with kitchen etc, the rooms are planned in a way that they can accommodate couples or families. As it was the Easter weekend there were... More

We were very impressed with the menu.A nice mix of different dishes.Well priced pasta,fish,chicken and meat.Soup,salads and sushi for starters.The view from the retaurant over the golf course and Knysna Heads is spectacular and the service really good and friendly. Hotel suites fabulous. More

The view from the hotel and rooms is breathtaking - in the foreground you have the brilliantly green golf course, and in the distance you look out over the lagoon and ocean.

Without any prior booking, we (my husband and I as well as my parents) were given a ground-floor suite. It consisted of a very large double bedroom with huge en-suite bathroom, which was attached to an open plan... More

An awesome Hotel experience as well as a Golfing revelation on one of the most well kept and picturesque courses in SA. We experienced a well trained staff , very well appointed rooms and excellent dining. The views of the "Heads" from from the club house balcony ---- inspiring! More

We stayed here for one night, purely to use the facilities (it was pouring with rain all day) so we used the gym and the spa. Everything was very clean and staff were all very pleasant and efficient, but it just felt very sterile and corporate. Our room was small but was fully equipped - the walls were rather thin... More
