Quaint little get away.
We had a good stay. The location was great. The chalet was really nice too. The only thing we didn't like was the small public jacuzzi and sauna. Only two to three people could get in at a time. The bicycles that we rented were also really old and needed a good service.

Nice option for families in knysna
This was a great place to spend a night on knysna. Each chalet is very well maintained and spacious. The only issue was the wifi which was limited. We would definitely return.
