It takes a bit of time to locate this place, but once you find it, you realize you that it was worth the effort. The guest-house style hotel has rooms with balconies facing the lagoon. It makes for a stunning setting, specially when all the balconies have a charming wrought-iron table and chairs. Perfect place for a cup of tea... More

We stayed here with friends for two nights last November. We had the smaller rooms at the back of the house, which are not as spacious as the front room, but still a decent size. The balcony on the side offers a good view, but the view from the front of the house is simply amazing as it is set... More

We stayed for 2 nights at Brenton on Rocks, but could quite easily have stayed longer! We had a room on the upper floor with a stunning balcony overlooking the sea. It was just perfect. The room is big enough for 2 adults, with a seperate lounge area and TV, a great bathroom and a open, bright, spaceous bedroom. It... More

The guest house is above average. Rooms are spacious but not the type you would want to spend lots of time in. Kitchen is rather small, it's semi self catering. Rooms and bathroom could be cleaner. We reported dirty linen and this was changed for us. Common areas were great to use- my husband and I had our own little... More

Our accommodation was gorgeous with the best view. Wish we had stayed more than one night to truly enjoy our surroundings. Smooth check-in / check-out by staff. It was very breezy but refreshing at the same time. Would stay again in a heartbeat but for more than one night. Carpark automatic lock up garage. Peaceful stay. We dined at Crab's... More

Really nice accommodation with great sea views but our trip was marred by terrible room service. The dishes from the previous guests had not been cleaned properly, the tea, coffee and bathroom supplies were never replaced (I had to ask for these) and worst of all the maid had sticky fingers. By the end of our trip we realised our... More

We are a 4 star semi self-catering establishment, and only put amenities in the rooms upon arrival . Our rooms are checked after they have been cleaned and before the guests arrive, nothing was found wrong when checked by our receptionist and no complaints regarding this matter was received during their stay. We were not informed about anybody tampering with... More

As the name suggests the guesthouse is located on the rocks looking out onto the ocean in the midst of indigenous flora with a small beach below. A comfortable sleep with the sound of the crashing waves below. We stayed for 2 nights. We spent our first night in a honeymoon suite, which is basically a double with a sea... More

This is a guesthose, where you want to stay for forever. It’s located at the village Brenton-on-Sea 12 km outside Knysna. You have splendid views over Knysna Lagoon on the drive out there. Brenton on Rocks is located on a cliff with the ocean below. The view from the room is awesome. You constantly smell the ocean, feel the moist,... More
