South Villa was certainly the nicest place we stayed in during our 3 week South Africa trip, we recomme. I would definitely recommend South Villa to anyone wanting to stay in Knysna. The room was large, clean and had all amenities one could ask for. The breakfast was extensive and delicious. There was a constant supply of tea, coffee, rusks, bottled waters and fresh fruit in the room. The views and the location of the guest house were stunning - very close to Knysna waterfront but it is on the mountain, somewhat tucked away. The owners were friendly, accommodating and helpful. The service, the food & most of the hosts. After an 11hour 30 min international plane flight, 6 hour wait for an onward flight which was then delayed for 2 hours then 3 hour drive Chris promptly carried our bags to upstairs room and by the time we got to the room there was the best pot of tea we have had there for us on the balcony. A luxious and clean hotel with nice views over the Knysna lagoon. The hostess is very kind and helpfull. The centre (waterfront) is a 5min drive where you'll find the restaurants. Great beds and good breakfast. Book a room on the second floor for the views. Everything. Perfect location, perfect hosts. 10 out of 10. Breakfast on our own balcony every morning.

Although it was mentioned as Villa it was more like a bed and breakfast. Hence little overpriced.
