The accommodation is modern, clean and lovely. The stuff are friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my stay with South Villa guest house. I had a lovely ocen view room with a spacious balcony. I enjoyed my stay
A lovely 4 star guest house with beautiful views from our balcony of Knysna Heads/the sea.
Crista is the most amazing hostess. Our Land Rover Defender with roof rack was too tall for the garage so she arranged for secure parking just down the road at a friend's place.
As we then did not have a car, she offered to drive us to a restaurant and pick us up later.
I was not feeling brilliant so she recommended a restaurant that would deliver, 34 degrees South. The food was great and she arrived with plates, cutlery etc as it arrived and we ate out on our balcony looking out at the lovely view.
She could not have been more helpful and we really appreciated it.
A lovely place to stay and a great location but it is the hospitality and service which we will remember.
South villa guest house is a delightful guest house within walking distance of many restaurants. Ronnie and Thelma the hosts could not be more helpful. Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking the lagoon. Breakfast was delicious.
We stayed two nights at the South Villa guest house, and wish we could have stayed longer. Ronnie and Thelma, the hosts were very engaging, affable and informative. Ronnie gave us some excellent recommendations for local restaurants and great places to go for a sundowner.
Thelma and Ronnie were also available every morning for advice and ideas of where to go and what to see around the beautiful Knysna area.
Our room was lovely, the bed comfortable and the location excellent - the Waterfront and the town are within easy walking distance, approx 15 mins
I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
A very memorable and beautiful place to stay with wonderfully caring hosts.
