The Mount Knysna

The hotel breakfast was very good. The view was awe inspiring. The room had great coffee available. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Brown eyed manager was really patient with my grandmother and really professional. Loadshedding was a bit of a problem because in the middle of the night the generator switched of and Gran couldn't make it to the bathroom in the dark. The bathroom ventilation was a bit of a problem and the room air conditioner didn't work. For the price I would say it was reasonable but improvements can be made in terms of small helper lights on the stairs. The swimming pool is heated and looks out onto the stars which was awe inspiring to see. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Views: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Room:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic stay at The Mount Knysna, which is a small, boutique hotel close to the viewpoint of the two heads. Staff are attentive and the hotel is homely. We were slightly early for check in which was accommodated without mention, and check out was smooth and efficient. Definitely do catch dinner at Second Story, and dig into the hotel’s very good South African wine cellar. We caught a movie at the in house movie theatre, with freshly popped popcorn, drinks and snacks. Breakfast every morning was such a treat too. The pool is heated with a spectacular view of the lagoon. Uber works well in Knysna but we hired a car, and the hotel has free parking. A quaint hotel with personal touches brought by the lovely staff!

We recently visited Knysna and stayed at the Mount Knysna for a few days and I have to say, the Mount Knysna is a really great hotel. It did exceed my expectations and I definitely would not hesitate going back and they have my 100% recommendation

We had the pleasure of staying at Mount Knysna in August. Everything about this place was wonderful. The views are beyond compare. It’s hard not to keep taking photos. The accommodations are wonderful. The staff is amazing. They went out of their way to make sure everything was wonderful. It was by far the BEST food we had in Knysna! And, a real treat was watching a film in the movie theater! Thank you, Jordan, and to all the staff who made our stay so wonderful.

What an amazing venue - the staff is super helpful, the view is amazing and you cannot find anything wrong - big rooms, great service, and an awesome wine collection - can definitely recommend anyone who wants to be spoiled and pampered and just enjoy luxury to visit The Mount Knysna

Service excellent, location fantastic, views spectacular, food great. Even when we had to leave early due to personal reasons they left us a parcel with some baked goodies for the road. Only negative - the morning we wanted to leave early they hadn't restocked the coffee pods in the room and we couldn't find any coffee or cups before we left. Otherwise wonderful stay.

We had a good experience during our 3-night stay. The positives are definitely the views, Knysna bay on the one side and the ocean on the other. The location is quiet up the hill but still very close to knysna (10mins by car) We had a private terrace right next to the infinity pool. The pool was ice cold though. The staff were very responsive and helpful before arriving with eg suggestions for NY Eve. There was a lot of goodwill from the staff to accommodate our needs during our stay. Even when we had left we forgot something in the room and they sent it per express mail to our next hotel so that is very good service. The room was a good size and clean, had a big walk-in shower as well as a desk and a king-size bed. The areas for improvement (especially in light of being a 5* boutique hotel) are that there should be more proactive attention to detail: pool towels should be readily available, after a day of hiking I had to go look for pool towels as they were not in the room. When we booked dinner and arrived 15mins after our booking time the table wasn’t ready. My husband ordered steak but didn’t receive a steak knife until he asked. The menu had burrata, venison and cod but these items were not available. There was no ice tea (which I think is a basic soft drink). For every breakfast there was something missing on the table: a knife, napkins, glasses… so we had to ask. So small things that could improve the experience. Overall our experience was very enjoyable and we loved the area, the views and the quietness. The place has so much potential that with a bit of thought and attention to service and detail it can really be at the next level.
