We stayed here for four days recently and it was the best accommodation we stayed at in a two week trip. The views are amazing, with large glass doors so you can always take them in. The staff are super efficient and always happy to help. There are lovely little touches, that you wouldn't expect from a guest house, breakfast... More

This guesthouse superseded my expectations. Upon arrival, I was a little bit hesitant as it is quite a windy, narrow drive up the hill to the guesthouse and then... More

Unwelcoming staff - there was hardly a smile on the person that handed the keys over and processed the bills. Always had the feeling that the requests / questions we had were annoying and a lot of trouble for them. They were also not very knowledgeable about the attractions in the area... had to google to find a place that... More

We had a lovely stay at Overmeer. We arrived earlier than anticipated but this wasn't an issue. The breakfast area was large with great views over Knysna. The breakfast was nicely cooked with a good choice, and our room was clean & spacious. It was 5 minutes drive from Knysna. Our room didn't have a great view but we only... More
