Knysna Log-Inn Hotel, hotel in Knysna

Two of Knysna's most well-known hospitality brands, The Knysna Log-Inn Hotel and Graywood Hotel, have merged.

Buffet breakfast was good, but amount of food on the buffet was allowed to run out. No one seemed to be checking and we had to ask for more sausages and bacon to be laid out. By the time they arrived, I had finished eating. Small thing, but important, to me at least.

    A very chilled place - just very serene place to go.

    A very chilled place - just very serene place to go. It can be a little expensive for the type of food offered in several restaurants - price doesn't really match portion of menu. The people are friendly, there's a few activities to do if you're adventurous. It's a great place to stop-over for a couple of nights and then continue with your journey. The Waterfront is very lovely. I suggest you there. The Mall is also great for shopping - don't get lost though because there's about 4 mall/square areas.

    One town that’s full of adventure around every corner from the heads to the old drift to Brenton on sea to buffalo bay to jubilee creek to the forest to lands end. Just too many wonderful experiences to be had in a vibrant and friendly town! Honestly, the best place.

    If you are planning a trip along the garden route then Knysna is a must visit spot. The views across the lagoon and the Knysna Heads are amazing and so many options for accommodation from camping by the lagoon to 5* hotels. It is also a good base to explore the Eastern end on the garden route right up to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). There is also a number of fantastic mountain passes to drive up to the Karoo, but make sure you have a good vehicle and a good head for heights. Knysna is fantastic and well worth a visit.

    As a place to stay, Knysna is rather small, and moreover less secure after dark than other places. Knysna and its islands/view points can e.g. easily be visited from Plettenberg where there is much more choice in terms of restaurants. 1 day is more than enough for Knysna.

    The views are magnificent.

    The views are magnificent. The surrounding areas are also very worthy of visits. Plettenburg Bay, Tsitsikamma, Sedgefield and Wilderness are excellent. Something great to do every day! Knysna itself is a little run down and touristy, after all it straddles a motorway (N2), but there are places that are tucked away which are charming.....one goes there however for the views!

    Where to start ? It´s a beautifull and luxurious guesthouse in a quiet residential area with stunning view of the lagoon. The whole place is kept immaculately. But the real reason you shoud definitely stay here are Roeleen and Steve. You couldn´t feel more at home while on holiday. They take excellent care of their guests, can provide you with a wealth of information on things to do, but are above all just lovely and fun people. For us they are reason enough to come back to Knysna.

    We stayed in the 3* property previously known as the Graywood Hotel. The room was very clean and exceeded our expectations. Location of the accomodation was very good and it was walking distance to the Knysna waterfront. As for safety, the street towards the waterfront is safe to walk after it gets dark. Good to also check with the staff on the safety expect. Seafood at the O Pescador Restaurant was amazing.

    The studio is beautiful, well decorated and very comfortable. Everything was impeccable, super clean and the view is amazing! Di could not have been nicer welcoming us to the property, and gave s all the instructions we needed to enjoy our stay. The location is gorgeous and we really enjoyed a canoe ride early in the morning through the canals. Great location in Knysna, cannot recommend enough!

    A luxurious and peaceful place for relaxation in 15 minutes drive from Knysna Waterfront. Rooms are really spacious, you also have a balcony or a private garden with a private hot tub. Yes, your own hot tub in your garden!:) Since it is the golf club’s hotel, you can walk around beautiful golf courses (if you’re not a player)

    Great hotel very nearby the Knysna waterfront, only a short walk down the road. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast had great variety and was tasty. The pool and bar area was also great to have as an option if you didn’t want to leave the hotel. Highly recommend.

    This property is first class in all respects. It is spacious, very well-appointed & extremely well-equipped. The beds are excellent. The location is tranquil and secure, yet only a stroll of five minutes from the shops and restaurants on the Knysna Quays Waterfront. The house also has its own integral garage.

    Nicely furnished bright apartment in a beautiful complex, just a few steps from the Knysna waterfront. Great for self catering in the well equipped kitchen - but also plenty of great restaurants around. We travelled with a baby and received a cot and some toys - really appreciated

    The view over the Knysna lagoon towards the heads is spectacular from the large porch. The house is elegant, tidy, and well-equipped with plenty of seating areas. The host supplied ample wood that came in very handy. The beds were comfortable.
