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.

Leider hatten wir vom Balkon direkt den Blick zur Waschküche/Bügelküche, zwar auch etwas zur Lagune, hatten uns trotzdem einen etwas anderen Ausblick zur Lagune gewünscht. Insgesamt war in Knysna nicht viel lis, allerdings war auch das Wetter nicht immer so gut. Lokale gibt es, sind allerdings 2 x nach Sedgefield zu Rosies Steakhaus gefahren, das immer wieder gut ist!!@

Knysna bietet sich als Zwischenstopp auf der Garden Route an. Das Orange Inn ist ein modernes, sauberes und sehr empfehlenswertes B&B mit sehr freundlichen und hilfsbereiten Personal. Wir hatten ein gutes Frühstück, ein Zimmer mit tollen Ausblick und sehr großem modernen Bad. Wir können das Orange Inn weiter empehlen!
