I decided to do the Knysna Forest Half Marathon the week before the race and urgently needed accommodation. A room here was available and it was cheap, so I did not expect a lot from it. But we were surprised by how good this place was, the rooms are spacious and neat and the location is excellent, over-looking the lagoon and close to the Waterfront. Beauchamp Place is nothing fancy, but it would be a great place to go away to with friends as there are outside braais in front with a great view of the lagoon and it is not expensive. Will definitely go here again if I need to stay in Knysna for a few nights.
I had a friendly reception on arrival. I was also advised what the wifi password was. The room was clean and comfortable. In the mornings I was able to enjoy a hearty breakfast. For me it was easily accessible to the Knysna Waterfront.
Rooms are big, bathroom is clean, parking available + wifi. It's a 25 min walk to the center. Has a great view of the lagoon. Definitely value for money. The only drawback is the car noises mainly until sunset.
Toilet was leaking. Water spews out hose connectors, mere trickle out shower head. No washing hair! Room had musty smell from damp on shower wall. Asked for towels, then I instructed to go back & check again! There were none. Owner then went to check I was not mistaken before supplying towels! How rude!
Be very careful of TV shelf mounted in dangerous position above the chair at the table, else you will knock your head. Steel bracket & shelf has very sharp corners. I sustained a cut on my head.
The guest arrived on the 23rd of December although her booking was for the 27th and 28th of December. Seeing that it was peak season, we were fully booked. Luckily we had a same day cancellation for a budget room. We offered her the room (at the budget rate) to help her and explained that this was not one of our luxury rooms as the ones she booked for the 27th and 28th of December. The guest accepted the accommodation as this was probably the only accommodation available in the whole of Knysna. Once in the room she started complaining about everything and threatened us with a bad review on TripAdvisor. This saddens us since this guest has stayed with us on and off for more than 2 years and we always go out of our way to accommodate her. Unfortunately we could not give her the room that she requested as it was already booked. Refer to all the other reviews about Beauchamp Place's service, cleanliness, etc.
Clean and comfortable rooms. Very spacious. Friendly hosts. Awesome view of the Knysna Heads. Worth a visit for sure!Close to the main road but no traffic noise if doors are closed. Highly recommend this stay.
