My wife and I spent 2 nights at Waterfront Lodge in March. The first thing that struck us was the wonderful welcome we received from Marion - after 5 minutes in her company we felt as though we'd known her for years. The next thing that hit us was what a beautiful place this is in a truly stunning location... More

We stayed for 3 nights at the Lodge and enjoyed every minute. Our room was delightful with wonderful views and so comfortable. Gavin and Marion were such welcoming hosts and, thanks to our children who had organised a birthday surprise for Alan, Marion had gone out of her way to shop for a gift selection of wines, fruits and nuts,...

Delicious breakfast cooked by the owner and Marion, his wife, couldn't be more welcoming, She booked us a table at Sirocco, an excellent restaurant, by the waterfront, where they collect you by minibus free of charge. V good value and we wish we... More

Excellent service. The garden and views of the nature reserve were delightful. We enjoyed watching Gavin feed the Guinea fowl and geese etc that appeared a.m and 5pm on... More

My wife and I stayed here for three nights in Maerch 2013, after having a 4-day safari adventure just outside Port Elizabeth and on our way to Cape Town. So after a 5 hour drive we had a very warm welcome and the guest house was in a lovely position - just a mile or so through the main town... More

The Lodge is situated on the west end of Knysna just after you enter the bay which makes it quiet yet close to the waterfront. The rooms are on the first floor so they look out over the garden and the salt marsh. Ours was in the middle and if I have a small criticism it is that we were... More

Great hospitality from our hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Top location on the Lagoon our room lead straight onto the lawn and the lagoon. Breakfasts were fantastic. Marion was very helpful advising us of places to visit and resturants to eat in. Our car was cleaned every day for us which was an unusual but nice touch.
