We were greeted by Colleen and shown to our room. It felt wet and smelled of slight mold to me so we put on the heat while we went to dinner.When we returned we realized that the heat had made the room smell more like mold.

“Knysna bay at your feet”

We stayed at Hide Away last December as part of our Western Cape tour. Welcome experience was superb and very attentive. Coleen took her time to explain the best spots in Knysna and offered some warm towels while we were choosing the menu for breakfast. Breakfast selection is rich and is served on the veranda of your room. Great for... More

“Perfect”

Reviewed 16 April 2013

We stayed for one night as we were passing through Knysna on our Garden Route tour. Our reception was very professional and Colleen gave brilliant advice on good restaurants and local attractions. The Knysna Waterfront was great fun and the property is ideally situated to get into town or to head back out on the N2. Thank you!

One of the nicest things about this guest house is that the gate is always open, adding to the friendly atmosphere. It is just off the main road into Knysna and slightly up the hill, so has a really good view across the lagoon to the crashing waves of the ocean beyond. As soon as we arrived we were given... More
