Turbine Hotel & Spa
4.5/563 Reviews
Really a perfect hotel. It is called a turbine hotel, because the original site of the hotel is a power certer. But now it is converted into a hotel, the turbines and other equipment in the original factory are all preserved, and the decoration is improved. It is very small and fresh. Our room is located on the third floor (the second floor of South Africa). The room has a balcony facing the lagoon, and the scenery outside is super invincible. On the other side of the bathroom you can see the lake shore and the mountains on the other side. This hotel has almost become one of our attractions in knysna. The front desk is welcoming and you can also make a free wine tasting at the spa, reception location. We fell in love with the sherry in it, and the 200R bottle is about 100 RMB, which is very good. It is also very close to the lake, and it is less than five minutes by car. The price is too high.
Villa Afrikana Guest Suites by Knysna Paradise Collection
4.9/547 Reviews
Villa Africana is simply stunning. This was our fifth visit and we came with high expectations, but were not disappointed. The service and food was outstanding and the accommodation was first class. The views over the lagoon are majestic. The staff are attentive to every detail you can think of and then a few you haven’t thought of. The pool is lovely, also the indoor and outdoor lounge areas. We cannot recommend Villa Africana too highly.
Brenton Haven Beachfront Resort
4.5/534 Reviews
We celebrated my 50’th birthday at the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven recently. And what a celebration it was! The venue was spectacular, and the catering was out of this world. From day one, Johlanda and her team was extremely organized, and the pre-event arrangements was timeous and from an excellent quality and standard. Johlanda (and my wife) arranged everything in detail, quite a task if an event is held in Brenton and you are resident in Polokwane. On the day of the event, everything went smoothly, with no hitches whatsoever. The venue and catering were 100% spot-on. The bar staff, kitchen staff and waiters (Teenage and his team) were friendly, fast, and efficient. It takes quite a lot for any venue to deliver 50+ perfectly prepared steaks all at one time. Not one of our guests complained in any way or manner about any food, drinks, or service. Our guests were catered for in detail, from persons with allergies to persons with other food preferences (vegetarians and vegans). As most of our guests were from other provinces, most guests also made use of the Brenton Haven hotel, and once again not a single guest was disappointed in any of the hotel or facilities. The group discount offered for event guests, also made the accommodation very reasonably priced and our guests were indeed impressed by both the Butterfly Blu restaurant and the Brenton Haven hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to host my celebration at the Butterfly Blu and I will recommend the use of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven for any occasion or event. If I had to score my whole experience, I will score it 10 out of 10. I wish to heartfully thank the whole of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven team, with what can only be described as a once in a lifetime, extremely successful birthday celebration. Eugene le Roux
Crown on the Heads
4.4/56 Reviews
Unique accommodation with great views. A very tasty furnished house, almost an artwork. Unfortunately, the pool was a little green and too cold. I would stay here again.
Protea Hotel Knysna Quays
4.2/571 Reviews
Celebrated my mom’s birthday. We enjoyed our stay, loved the pool and our room was spacious and clean. The buffet breakfast is great, wish it had pancakes or waffles for vegetarians. The hotel is located at the heart of Knysna- short stroll to the waterfront, plenty of restaurants& activities. Parking is available on site for ZAR30 p/ night and tourism levy is ZAR30 p/ night. Our check in was 30 minutes late, (14:30) bit disappointed, but we understand it was peak period. Otherwise highly recommend and will definitely return!

4.3/521 Reviews
