- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 25 reviewsOur stay at Cliffhanger Cottages was incredible and we would highly recommend it to anyone. The attention to detail left us wanting for nothing and we were absolutely blown away by the views, visible from everywhere in the cottage, including the shower! The braii on the balcony & watching the sunset over the mountains are truly highlights of a wonderful trip on the garden route. Close enough to Knysna for shops etc. but distanced enough to fully immerse and hear nothing but nature. Some amazing hikes nearby with waterfalls and streams to bathe in during the summer months. We'll definitely be back next time! Thanks, Dean and Nikita!Guest review byDeanUnited Kingdom
- From US$232.60 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.4Superb - What previous guests thought, 550 reviewsThe spot is just sumptuous, with views over the wetlands and the winding river. The staff were all incredible and provided such a personalised service. The breakfasts and dinners we had at the restaurant were simply delicious. The styling and views of the room throughout the hotel were incredible and made you feel so connected to nature and provided an excellent environment to disconnect and relax.Guest review byEllieFrance
- From US$232.32 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 1,115 reviewsSuper clean and beautifull rooms with a nice view of the garden. The view from the outdoor swimming pool is amazing but unfortunetely it was too cold to swim outside. They do have an indoor heated swimming pool as well so that is very nice. The african aromatic massage was really relaxing and good. The breakfast was very good as well as lunch and dinner.Guest review byMatea OttenNetherlands
- From US$90.94 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very good - What previous guests thought, 525 reviewsBig, bright and comfortable room and bed with seaview. Friendly staff, good location. In the same building there is also a tour operator which offers for example whales watching tour and also restaurants. Location was still quiet at night so we could sleep with open window and hear the ocean.Guest review byRamona1991Austria

Knysna’s geography is beautiful.
Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants. Knysna is a must see and visit destination on the Garden Route.Guest review byWayne MUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Lovely seaside town with wonderful restaurants and coffee shops to choose from! Beautiful beaches and views of the surrounding mountains! We loved hiking Robberg and would recommend it to other visitors as well...Guest review byHennie BeukesSouth Africa - 8.0
Great place for a week end especially in summer.
Great place for a week end especially in summer. Adequate shops, coffee shops etc. Nice fish n chips, restaurants and lots of lovely places nearby like Wilderness Knysna etc. Lovely drives up the hills. Views beautiful, riding bikes fine. Walks to Gerickes point.Guest review byMalcolmSouth Africa - 10.0
A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants.
A beautiful region, with excellent restaurants. The Grootrivier and (Western Cape part of) the Bloukrans River passes are exceptional, as is Nature's Valley. The Birds of Eden is THE world leading bird conservancy -- the biggest anywhere with free flying birds in a magnificent forest with a beautiful kloof, waterfall ,,, The nearby Monkeyland and Jukani conservancies are also probably the best in Africa. Thyme & Again restaurant is also a favourite.Guest review byBernhardSouth Africa - 8.0
Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow...
Many establishments in the surrounding area do not allow dogs. So you can't eat in many places as no arrangements were made to accomodate dog owners. Some beaches banned dogs completely, even on a leash. I found this attitude very short sighted and unpleasant.Guest review byPeterSouth Africa - 10.0
Natures Valley is very special.
Natures Valley is very special. Most other bays in the area are over developed and commercialised. Natures Valley still captures the time when going to the beach was not all about how magnificent your property was. Lets hope it stays that way.Guest review byBruceNew Zealand - 10.0

Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town.
Plettenberg Bay is a fantastic town. It can get very busy in season but an absolute pleasure out of season. Beaches are exquisite and there are plenty of activities in and around for couples and families. Must recommend the Waffling Whale at Formosa - food is delicious and the staff are amazing. If you want brilliant coffee you need to visit the Sotto's Deli!Guest review byKirstySouth Africa - 8.0

The number of bergies or street people hanging at the SPAR and surrounding area for the size of town was disconcerting. Nearly had an incident regarding the snatch of a cell phone. Wonderful little town with good restaurants and upkeep of paths and benches wonderful to see. Clear marking of dog friendly beaches helpful.Guest review byIngridSouth Africa
