Gert and Nadia were warm and welcoming hosts. They had good recommendations and advise on things to do and where to eat. The property was only a short walk away form the town that has some excellent restaurants. We felt very safe even when walking late at night. We enjoyed our stay at Cloverleigh Guest house.

We had a lovely stay. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. We only gave them notice about my friends dietary requiremenrs when we checked in late afternoon and they went out of their way to have options available the next morning for breakfast. The view from the bedroom and lounge where breakfast is served was amazing.

Fabulously friendly and helpful hosts. The room was comfortable and clean and the bed was very comfy too. A lovely balcony to sit at in the evening afforded us a great view out to the sea.
Breakfast was well executed and staff were all friendly.
The property is well located - just a short drive into town.
I would definitely stay here again if I wax to return to Knysna.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this elegant, tranquil hotel. The common areas and gardens are expansive, beautifully maintained, and a comfortable retreat, but undoubtedly the best feature was the room we stayed in. This was huge, with a generous bathroom, full walk-in robe, living area, and wonderful king-size bed. Its only minor faults were a poor internet connection and poor TV reception (the set is antiquated). The view across Knysna lagoon towards the Heads is magnificent and we were...

This place is perfect! 2 minute walk to the beach, amazing rooms, and great food. The staff were really accommodating and generous with their support for activities and queries. On a rainy day, I decided to book a treatment at the spa and it was excellent! My favourite aspect of this venue was their display of South African artists. I adored the art and even managed to visit some of the artists studios after leaving the hotel to make purchases. Highly recommend this venue.
