Best place on the Garden Route
Easy - the best place to stay on the Garden Route, easy. Huge place, has it all, first line in front of the beach, endless balcony space, huge rooms, spacious bathrooms, spotless clean - it has it all. And Marisa is the nicest host! Not even a single bad thing to say, just perfect.

É um Guest House e não hotel. Muito bom, bonito e com pessoas muito agradáveis. O que faltou: Black out nas janelas, para quem gosta de dormir no escuro e no banheiro, shampoo e sabonete.

Helen, Lungt och stillsamt. Bil ett måste

underbart läge att The Heads
Huset låg precis vid vattnet inte långt ifrån Knysna Heads. Gästfrihet från Marisa som inte kan beskrivas. Uppgraderade när vi checkade in, hade hela övervåningen för oss själva första natten. Fina rum och underbara terrasser, fritt att använda allt.

Sehr gepflegte, kleine Pension
Traumhafte Lage, Studio im Erdgeschoss ohne Meerblick, aber gut ausgestattet. Frühstück mit leichten Abstrichen kann auf Sonnenterrasse eingenommen werden. Inhaberin sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Pension ist ideal gelegen als Standort für Ausflüge.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The room that was allocated definitely had a damp problem and smelled of damp badly which was quite unpleasant.
