Waterfront Lodge

Not a great stay. Comfortable room, old bathroom with salty water coming from taps. Helpful staff.

We stayed with two couples for two nights at this well located lodge for Knysna and felt very comfortable. The owner is relatively new and in the process of renovating everything. Just her charismatic and charming, warm personality makes you feel like you belong to the family and just feel comfortable. We received all kinds of tips and implemented some of them, e.g. a boat trip to the "Knysna Heads" in the Featherbed Nature Reserve, which was great fun. The rooms are large, cozy and clean, there is air conditioning and fan, breakfast offers everything you need. The small pool and the Lagoon location complete the picture harmoniously. The small town of Knysna invites you to stroll, in the harbour there are nice shops and great restaurant, you can walk or take an Uber, we did both.

Wow, what a disappointment. I had booked to go for a water polo tour which was cancelled due to the water restrictions in the town and the lodge was very unaccommodating of the cancellation. Seems to be good when everything is going well, but when challenges come they are very unaccommodating.
