Hide-Away Guest House, South Africa

Adam Chapman

This is one of my favourite guest houses in Knysna. We have used it for ages and continually get excellent reports. Cecil and Colleen will show you good South African hospitality in their gorgeous house with its wonderful views of the Knysna lagoon. It is extremely well priced for what you get. It is homely yet the room are luxuriously appointed. I highly recommend Hide-Away guest house.

Holiday to South Africa during February 2011

South Africa Review

We have been to South Africa before in February/March when it is the depths of winter in the UK. Envigorating to get away from our dismal weather and the South Africans we have met have always made us welcome. Where we have been, we have alway felt safe although we have clearly avoided the townships...
