“Excellent B&B within walking distance of Knysna”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

We were greeted on arrival by Colleen who gave us information on the local area which was very useful. The hotel is very well kept, the rooms nice and spacious and you can have your breakfast on the balcony in the morning which was a nice touch. We were very impressed with the hotel and service and would certainly recommend... More

A pleasant little guesthouse, off the main highway to Knysna, we had a lovely 2 nights stay there. Colleen is a perfect host, she sat down with us telling us the things we could see in Knysna, pointing our places of interest and restaurants on the neat little map:) We had an amazing home cooked breakfast after a long time...delicious......

“Great B&B”

Colleen met us on arrival and made us feel very welcome, the room was great, very spacious and clean with views from the balcony out through the Knysna heads.

“Knysna bay at your feet”

We stayed at Hide Away last December as part of our Western Cape tour. Welcome experience was superb and very attentive. Coleen took her time to explain the best spots in Knysna and offered some warm towels while we were choosing the menu for breakfast. Breakfast selection is rich and is served on the veranda of your room. Great for... More

Hello there Stefan Thank you so much for the review! Since you left Hide-Away we have had some pretty good weather but unfortunately winter is on its way.

“Perfect”

Reviewed 16 April 2013

We stayed for one night as we were passing through Knysna on our Garden Route tour. Our reception was very professional and Colleen gave brilliant advice on good restaurants and local attractions. The Knysna Waterfront was great fun and the property is ideally situated to get into town or to head back out on the N2. Thank you!

“A room with a view (never mind the rain!)”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

One of the nicest things about this guest house is that the gate is always open, adding to the friendly atmosphere. It is just off the main road into Knysna and slightly up the hill, so has a really good view across the lagoon to the crashing waves of the ocean beyond. As soon as we arrived we were given... More

Traditional colonial guesthouse with a great breakfast and a very warm and friendly welcome and stay will definitly be coming back. The hosts could not do enough to help from booking our trips out for us and making sure we knew where to go for food.
