Parkes Manor, hotel in Knysna

Offering an outdoor pool and a cosy lounge and bar, Parkes Manor is a classic, historical house located within 2 km from the Knysna Waterfront.

We liked the welcome, the welcome drink was a surprise and the team were very friendly. Loved the room and view over the lagoon. Flower petals on the bed and bathroom surfaces made the room smell gorgeous - a lovely touch for a boutique hotel. Sadly the weather was very wet & windy so we couldn’t appreciate the gardens which looked lovely. The team lit a fire in the evening which meant the sitting room was warm and cosy and the other guests were very interesting. It was a very comfortable, spacious bedroom and the bath room was spotless - it was the best shower we had on our trip. The breakfast was a wonderful spread of fruit cereal, yogurts and breads but for us the cooked breakfast choice was really excellent. The hotel felt super safe and we were happy to walk to the harbour in the evening for dinner and we walked back in the dark without any problems. We stayed for 2 nights and probably could have done with an additional night as it was so lovely and plenty to do in the area including elephant sanctuary. The team were the best and it was fascinating hearing the history about the house, family and location. Would definately go back - hopefully next time the sun will come out!
