Great view from the balcony to the ocean. Even it's loud, you won't here the sound of the sea while sleeping. Very clean and quiet, beach is not far away and also the drive to Knynsa doesn't take too long. Hope to be there again any time

We had a great stay here on our trip through the garden route. The property was well maintained, had amazing views, and had a friendly staff. Upon arrival the owner greeted us and gave us the rundown of property and local eats. My only regret was not staying in this location longer. You won’t be disappointed with this property or location. Thanks for the hospitality and I hope to be back soon!

No wonder people keep going back!

The location of this bed-and-breakfast was absolutely amazing. From the hotel, we were able to walk along the Bluffs of Brenton down to a beautiful secluded beach. The service was friendly, and the food was delicious. We met people who regularly vacation at this bed-and-breakfast, and we can completely understand why they return.

Nice beachfront property. Clifftop view of the sea. Friendly and highly responsive host. Had a pleasant stay. Unfortunately there was a persistently strong smell of woodsmoke in the downstairs lounge. Also had to close all windows most evenings to stop smoke from nearby braais stinking out the property until about 9pm. Missing a few home comforts such as salt and pepper, laundry and dishwasher pods.

The ONLY place to stay in Knysna!

This place is beyond belief! The views of the ocean are magnificent and the place is spotless - so clean! The accomodations are beautifully decorated. If you are looking for a place to relax, this is it! Nico, the owner, is amazing. He goes "over the top" to make sure you have a fabulous time and is extremely helpful in sharing sights to see in the area. We stayed at Brenton on the Rocks for three days and didn't want to leave! We'll definitely be back!

Magnificent view and incredible villa

This place is amazing. The location - right on a cliff with a narrow path that leads to secluded beach, ocean waves seen and heard from your room. The house,is very well maintained and it is huge. There is a reception in day time, and they are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is simple and good. The area is calm, safe, and marvellous. We look forward to come here again, for at least a week
