Augusta Bay, South Africa

Adam Chapman

The rooms here are simply stunning as are the views over the Knysna Heads. I loved everything about this guest house. It is simply top class. It would particularly appeal to golfers with its golf theme and proximity to nearby courses but if you aren’t into golf, don’t be put off. The guest house is within walking distance of one of the most scenic restaurants / bars in Knysna and within easy driving distance of the town and the rest of the activities on offer in the Garden Route. I always get excellent feedback from guests and will continue to use Augusta Bay for this reason.
