    Definitely stop at Pearl view for a coffee!

    Definitely stop at Pearl view for a coffee! Going back up from the view points back towards the parking lot may strain those who have difficulty in walking.... If that is the case looking at the view from this restaurant is just as good!

    View from the Heads well presented area to take amazing photos. Pop down to beach area to enjoy lovely cafe restaurant but beware parking limited and it gets very busy for breakfast and lunch. Closes late afternoon.

    You need a car to get up to the lookout area but the views are stunning. Failing that, take a boat trip from Knysna waterfront to the Heads and see it from sea level. Stunning either way, especially on a sunny day.

    The sea facing Coral Suite was large with great views of the ocean & The Knysna Heads. Very comfortable big bed. Dinner next to the fireplace was really good. Breakfast was good with a small but good selection of buffet items & a great variety of cooked items to order- the views from the restaurant are amazing. Having bicycles out the front of the hotel that guests can use is a really great touch - the ride around the island is flat & easy to do I would definitely recommend doing it.

    Incredible views over Simola golf course and Knysna heads in the distance. The sunsets are wow. Beautiful, spotless house situated atop a hill in Simola. By far the best accomodation for a group of friends or a family vacation. The house is so spacious - no matter how many guests everyone can get a little corner of it to themselves. Hosts, the owner and the caretaker were super friendly.

    This was a splendidly spacious apartment on two floors with glorious views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads. The gas hob and oven worked well and were proof against load-shedding. The bed and the lounge seating were very comfortable. The swimming pool was close by and very refreshing. I would recommend this property for an extended stay. The bathroom and the shower room both worked well. The staff were great!
