Amanzi Island Boutique Hotel, hotel in Knysna

At the tip of Leisure Island and overlooking the Knysna Lagoon, this hotel has an outdoor pool and terrace with panoramic views. Its rooms have a furnished balcony or patio.

Absolutely gorgeous location and views, set on a stunning, safe and private island with a wonderful and relaxing atmosphere. The room itself was also stunning - relaxing beach vibe and very stylish at the same time. Using the on-site bicycles and travelling around the island was also a big highlight of our trip as there is a lot to see and do on the island, as well as using the on-site kayaks to paddle around the lagoon. It's also very close to some of the amazing restaurants at the lagoon mouth (Pizza E Vino was brilliant).

6 On Protea, hotel in Knysna

Featuring panoramic views of Knysna Lagoon as well as the Heads, 6 On Protea is located along the Garden Route, just a 5-minute drive from the Knysna town center.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The breakfast was amazing and very filling. The room was far away from others such that I could work and the room had everything you could need: kettle, microwave, mini fridge and an array of different cutlery if you want to braai (which they provide as well). It was lovely sitting in the garden, watching the lagoon and listening to the birds.
