Perfect place to stay for an amazing time in Knysn

Absolutely amazing stay.... Pemula lodge is the perfect place for a holiday in Knysna. With a spacious and well laid out room, beautiful balcony overlooking the stunning green garden and infinity pool.... you will not be disappointed at all. Rensia and Peter were great hosts and made sure our stay was as perfect as can be. I really enjoyed the fact that there is a communal kitchen which allows you to store your things in the fridge and warm things up in the microwave... everything is well thought of.

Nette Lodge für einen entspannten Zwischenstopp

Wir sind durch eine Empfehlung eines anderen Paares auf die Pumula Lodge gekommen und haben dort insgesammt 2 Nächte verbracht. Die Lodge ist schön gelegen und hat einen traumhaften Garten in dem man entspannen und wieder Kraft tanken kann. Beim einchecken wurden wir sofort sehr freundlich Begrüsst und zu unserem Zimmer begleitet. Wir erhielten wertvolle Tipps über die nahegelegenen Hotspotts und die Besitzerin hat uns promt ein gutes Restaurant für die erste Nacht reserviert.
