A great guest house

A friendly well run Guest House. We had a lovely light room with outside terrace, perfect for pre dinner drinks. The pool area is modern and comfortable. A great position for exploring Knysna. Breakfast is very good. It was well riced and would definitely go there again.

Lovely inn. Great friendly place to stay. Downside was load shedding with the absence of any additional electrical generator which meant that when we left our phones and iPads weren’t charged and the night was hot . Lack of electricity meant no fans or air conditioning so room was very hot. Lovely lady looks after this inn. She is definitely a plus point.

Good quality and value

Orange Inn is an excellent accommodation, with first rate facilities and extremely helpful staff. The manager, Charlotte, was very professional, friendly and helpful. Location very easy to find, with good access to the harbourside facilities yet easy to get to local beauty spots

Frustration - Inn closed;

The Inn was closed. We rang the bell for a long, long time. We arrived at 4:30 p.m. No one to answer the bell. The phones I had in my reservation either did not answer or did not even ring. After about 30 minutes we left to look for another place to stay.

Hotel in the making

Parking the car needs some experience. The rooms were clean an friendly. They were lacking some electrical amenities, some doors could not be closed. Service was ok. Pool nice, surrounded by lawn, where you could relax. breakfast near the pool. BUT: As we left, we learned from the manager that the hotel had just changed management only a few weeks ago and that maintenance and renovation works were due the coming week.

Lovely guest house on the outskirts of Knysner

We had an excellent two days at Knysna Stays. Lloyd and his staff were so helpful in giving us information about the area. We drove round the area and looked at points of interest. The apartment was immaculate and even had a washing machine which we made use of. Tables were set by the pool each morning for breakfast. There was a good choice including a freshly cooked English breakfast.
