We came across Brenton House after finding our usual accommodation fully booked. A happy occurance indeed! We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of our stay here and have recomended it to our friends and family.

This place is a 10-mins drive from Knysna (the town), and as previous reviewers said, located near one of the best beaches in South Africa!! the beach on the other side of the bay, called 'buffalo bay' is truly the best beach I've been to, not just in South Africa, but in all my travels!

The house is very close to one of the most beautiful beaches in South Africa. It is about 15 mins from Knysna but is an easy drive and the quality of the accommodation at Brenton is worth the drive. Derek is a great host aided by Juliette. Nothing is too much trouble and Derek arranged our golf and was able... More

Brenton beach house is a great place to stay, the beach is magnificent. But especially the warm welcome and the breakfast make the place really worth going to. Derrick was a host that gave us very good advice where we could have the nicest diner ! We really appreciated that.

Derrick was a friendly host and gave... More

Had 4 nights there in Feb´13 with the family. Derrick is a nice person and we really had a great service / tips to visit the Garden route. I can only recommend people to stay there. Perfect location. Nice house. And the perfect service you can expect in a guest house. I will come back !

This is a difficult review to write since in many ways this hotel is lovely....but not what we were expecting. It's web page says it is close to Knysna, which is what we wanted. But in fact it's a good twenty minute drive from the town and the only thing within walking distance is the beach. Beautiful if that is... More

We were a group of 2 children and three adults and had a great stay at Brenton- a beautiful guest house just 2 minutes walk from a spectacular and secluded beach. Derrick was a great help and advised us very well on both a fantastic local restaurant- the watering can- and some great activities as we headed towards port Elizabeth.... More
