Brenton on Sea Chalet, hotel in Knysna

* Traveling with family or friends or looking for a romantic getaway to celebrate your wedding, anniversary or engagement. This is the place to be.

The place was exquisite and we loved everything that was offered. Electric blankets for cold nights, extra blankets to use while watching TV, fire wood and lighters, the jacuzzi, and the fact that we were right next to the beach and were offered beach towels 😀. This was heaven and earth combined ❤️ everyone loved and enjoyed their stay and felt at home 😊.

Looking for a cabin?
For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

    The 2 bedroom "cabin" was beautifully decked out with a comfortable sofa, comfy beds and a nice wooden outdoor dining setting and deck chairs on the verandah, which had a lovely partial view of the Knysna lagoon. All the kitchen pots, utensils and crockery is Le Creuset, which impressed us, and was nice to use. The braai worked well and kindling and firewood was included. The lovely the lagoon was great for relaxing under the milkwood trees, and to step off for a swim in the lagoon at high tide.

    Staff were friendly and accommodating. Didn't request a daily service, but we had clean fluffy towels each day, our beds were remade, dishes packed away etc. Chalets were absolutely spotless, fully equipped kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. Lots of activities on-site and the view of the lagoon and surrounding cabins were beautiful

    The huts and the whole resort are very special, you really do feel a bit like you are in the jungle. The resort is located directly on the lagoon and there are kayaks and SUPs that you can rent for free. The cabins are perfectly equipped and very cosy and you can have a nice barbecue.

    Absolutely stunning location, right on the beach. the chalet was spacious with every amenities including two large verandas - one overlooking the bay and the other sheltered by the milkwood branches. We had initially booked one of the cabins located on the second row from the beach, but upgraded to a beachfront one. Absolutely worth the extra cost! Plus for free use of kayaks and sups.
