The host, Shannon, was extremely hospitable and accommodating to our needs. The accommodation was beautiful, peaceful, tranquil. We loved the garden and waking up to the peacocks walking at our doorstep. The unit had everything we needed, the host pays special attention to detail.

Thank you, David and Johan, for a perfect stay. We loved the little unit with views out to see. Everything was immaculate. They clearly care about their guests. We were walked through the unit when we arrived where they clearly explained the various facilities. I notice people mention the shower as an issue. However, there is no issue if you listen to the explanation provided during orientation. Breakfast was provided every morning in our fridge which we enjoyed on the veranda area. We found a nice peace and quiet at 14 Mount Joy. It was very easy to get around and secure parking was provided. Thanks!

I loved the dogs. The staff were charming. The breakfast was delicious and a taste of a really good waffle. The host and his friend helped me out when I ran out of petrol in a very inconvenient location and a very inconvenient time. I interrupted an evening with their friends. So, thank you. All's well that ends well. For me, anyhow.

    We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.

    Apartment was beautiful and well equipped. Details of loadshedding made very clear. Faith was a great host and met us on arrival at the entrance to the quays. Secure parking underneath with direct access to the flat via stairs. Easy walk to the restaurants and shops, short drive to some lovely beaches. Bedroom faced away from the quays so was quiet

    Lauren was great host, always on top of her communication and enjoyed her recommendations about area. I loved the place. It was quiet, great for resting and a short distance to town and harbor. The bonus has to be the inverter... Loadshedding was never a problem.
