Shining Waters Guest House

We stayed with Jon for a week in February - made to feel very welcome. Our room was spacious, clean and the view was stunning. Heaven. Jon was so kind arranging taxis and restaurant bookings as well as local information. Lovely welcoming pool. We could not have stayed anywhere better for the last week of out holiday in S A. Hopefully we will be able to return again.

Had a great stay at Jon’s place. He was a wonderful welcoming host with a great sense of humour. Our room was spotlessly clean and delightfully decorated with views over the ocean and even dolphins swimming right out in the bay. The pool area is a little haven of tranquility and great for dip on a hot day. The breakfast provided was amazing and the little madeleines a light and fluffy treat. Jon recommended some great places for dinner for which I will write a separate review. Overall two very happy travellers and would return here in a heartbeat.

Second year in a row at John‘s shining waters for paragliding in Wildernes with some friends. And again it was a really nice time there. Everything was clean and breakfast every day with a view to the sea at John‘s breakfast deck. After Paragliding the landing beer at the pool.... what can be better? Happy to know Shining Water and having John and his two lovely Dogs as friends now. We will be back! If you want to have a great time with the possibility to start and land right in front of you house that is the place to go. But it is also a good place to start daily tours to nice places around Wildernes or even Knysa or Tsitsikama. You can reach also the Knysna Elephant park and outshoorn safari park.
