We had a perfect experience at the Blue Oyster. It's a beautiful place, inside and out; it offers extraordinary views of the Knysna harbor, town, and surrounding mountains; its rooms are spacious, modern, and tastefully furnished and decorated; its garden lovely and peaceful; its breakfast excellent -- served with cheerful attention and readiness, even eagerness, to meet special requests.

Stayed three nights single, business/pleasure. Fantastic stunning views over the Knysna Lagoon and inlet. The room was spotlessly clean, decor was excellent, bathroom clean, warm, and spacious. Being English the English breakfast was just that, superb, with plenty to eat and drink. Business facilities excellent, WiFi and spacious lounge with table to spread out. Staff could not have been more... More

Stayed here for four nights and this property is well run, very comfortable, clean and spacious. Plenty of hot water and a good shower. Enormous bathroom but would have liked to have someplace to put my stuff in the bathroom as the pedastal sink doesn't have much space. Great space in the bedroom for luggage, easily accessible electrical plugs, weak... More

During our honeymoon along through the Garden Route, my wife and I only managed to stay one night at this magnificent place. Everything thing was immaculate, airy and tranquil. The 180 degree vista over Knysna was just breathtaking. Our only regret was not staying there longer. If ever we pass through that area again, I will make sure to book... More

Thank you for your hospitality! The views are worth a million and available from every part of the property. All the members of the staff were accommodating; right from our request for late check-in to substituting some things in the breakfast menu with an omelette for my wife who is a vegetarian. The stay was comfortable and there was nothing... More

Very helpful staff, and Vanessa (our host) was very accomodating for our late check in. Lovely views from this B&B, and we were upgraded for free upon our arrival. We were very happy with our stay at the BLue Oyster. More

My friend and I stayed at the Blue Oyster for 2 nights. What a wonderful experience. Beautiful well kept garden, immaculate service and perfectly clean rooms. Lots of space to relax apart from your room. Thank you to Vanessa and Charmaine for making our stay memorable. Anna-marie and Anna-mare More

We (2 couples travelling together) stayed at the Blue Oyster B & B for 2 nights in early April. The B & B is located above the town of Knysna on the Garden Route. The two en-suite rooms that we booked had commanding views over the estuary and lovely balconies to appreciate this sight. Vanessa, the inn-keeper, and Charmaine her... More

Fantastic B&B, wonderful relaxed atmosphere, made to feel so welcome by Vanessa and Charmaine. We stayed in the Mykonos room which is spotless, very spacious and has a wide balcony from which to soak in the view of Knysna lagoon and Heads, while of course enjoying a bottle of red from the well stocked honesty bar. Would have been rude... More
