We are currently staying at this lovely guest house and as many others have reviewed Christa gave us a warm welcome on arrival and our stay has been ideal. Walking distance to the town and the waterfront. Our room is huge and leads out onto a lovely balcony with super views over the lagoon! Breakfast was served in the dining room and was fabulous! Thankyou Christa and Hentie

Christa and Hentie were incredibly welcoming and went more than the extra mile to make sure our group had a memorable two days in Knysna. The accommodation and breakfasts were excellent and the location quiet but convenient for the town centre.

Christa welcomed us with a lovely smile to a clean and pleasant guesthouse. Our room was bright and airy and it lead on to a balcony that overlooked the Knysna lagoon and heads. The guesthouse is located within walking distance to the Knysna town centre and the ferry port from which you can board a ferry to the Featherbed Nature Reserve. We watched a gorgeous sunset and then an amazing sunrise the next morning from our balcony. Breakfast on both days was delicious, it was beautifully presented and served on the balcony. We enjoyed our chats with our friendly hosts Christa and Hentie and felt sad leaving their lovely guesthouse after two nights. Well done Christa and Hentie!

Great service by amazing staff. We had a great experience. Keep up the good work. I had the best coffee in all of SA. I recommend South Villa of Knysna as it is such a peaceful, relaxing and a well situated place. It is close to the city center, easy to reach and has all that you would need for a wonderful experience.

The best experience I have ever had in a Guest House in Knysna. Outstanding Hosts. Excellent Food. This is a hidden Gem just a short distance from the Town Centre. I would highly recommend for anyone..

Location at the heart of the tsitsikamma area makes it probably a preferred place at high season when people are less concerned about the quality. It wasn’t even close to what it looks at the website and the public braai area was dirty and with poor facilities. At load shading time they didn’t switch on the generator which was there…..

Stayed one night at the South Villa Guesthouse, enjoyed the stay. Christa and Hentie are great hosts, gave us a nice room with a stunning water view. Room as clean, had all the amenities and a comfortable bed. The breakfast was great, a nice selection of fruits and a personalised breakfast choice of various egg dishes.
