A very friendly welcome on arrival even though we were rather late. The interior of the house is beautifully modern with a large balcony and swimming pool. The bedroom was spacious and had a large shower, bath, comfortable king-sized bed, and private balcony. Breakfast was delicious, and we watched it being made as the kitchen is open plan and can be seen from the dining area. Everything was sparkling clean. The guesthouse is also in close proximity to the Eastern Head with its breathtaking views as well as being close to the Waterfront. Will return on our next visit to Knysna. Thank you for the hospitality :)

We had a lovely room with a balcony which overlooked the lagoon and Knysna Head, the view was stunning. The hosts were very attentive and informative and even invited us to a small concert with food and drinks included. The breakfast was amazing with lots of choice and the chef managed to cook my scrambled egg to perfection, which is quite an achievement, we have stayed at many establishments over the course of our holiday, mostly five star, but only Candlewood and on other got the eggs right.

Fabulous in every single aspect. Historic house perfectly maintained. Hostess was so friendly and helpful, nothing was ever too much trouble. Attention to detail flawless, right down to a roaring fire in the dining room the morning we left and the weather was cold and wet. Food excellent, room luxurious, views from terrace outstanding. This place goes beyond 5 star, there is nowhere else I would stay in Knysna.
