Traveled through the Eastern Cape.

Please note that the photos showing the ocean cannot be seen from the establishment. Misrepresentation, look out for that.

Het Oos-Kaap getoer.

Let op die fotos wat die see wys. Dit kan egter nie vanaf die perseel gesien word nie. Wanvoorstelling, pasop daarvoor.

Glen House has absolutely everything needed for an enjoyable stay in one of the most beautiful areas of Knysna!

Our accommodation was well-equipped, private, very neat and clean, in a beautiful tree-lined environment with plenty of birds, guinea fowl and bush buck. Quiet and safe environment where one can go for a nice walk. Our host, Pat, was very friendly and hospitable. And of course there is too much to enjoy and discover in Knysna and surroundings for one holiday, so yes, you'll want to come again and again!

Glen House het absoluut alles wat nodig is vir 'n genotvolle verblyf in een van die mooiste dele van Knysna!

Ons blyplek was goed toegerus, privaat, baie netjies en skoon, in 'n pragtige boomryke omgewing met volop voëls, tarentale en bosbokkies. Stil, rustige en veilige omgewing waar 'n mens ver kan gaan stap. Ons gasheer, Pat, was baie vriendelik en gasvry. En natuurlik is daar te veel om te geniet en te ontdek in Knysna en omgewing vir een vakansie, so ja, kom maar weer en weer!

Spacious, clean accommodation but gas geyser let it down.

It's worth noting that these guest rooms are on the first floor requiring climbing rather steep steps. Bit of a bother if you have knee or hip issues. With our stay both myself and my friend experienced that the gas hot water geyser would not turn on when opening the hot water tap. Required several tries to get it working. I have been to other places where gas geysers worked 100% but they do require proper tuning in order to work right. The rooms are very spacious, clean and nicely decorated and very quiet - a very good thing. Bosbok ram (game buck) ...

Glen House was only let down by the geyser.

If the guest had just called me, we could have sorted the problem out in a jiffy.

The gas bottle seemed to be at its end and on replacing it, the geyser worked perfectly. The problem with gas geysers is that the majority of our guests have never used a gas geyser before. On arrival, I give a demonstration on how to operate the geyser and informed them that they can call me as I am always available.

There are a few reasons why we changed to gas. Firstly, we found that some guests took very long showers and that left no hot water for the other guests. There are now 3 geysers - 1 for the units downstairs, 1 for the units on the second floor and 1 for our own use. Another problem was load shedding which affected the supply of hot water to the whole property.

When making a booking, potential guests must specify that they want accommodation on the ground floor. In this way, the stairs will not be a problem.

Mooi natuur en pragtige bome!

Die omgewing is pragtig. Verblyf is skoon maar kort ietwat finesse. Pat is baie hulpvaardig.

Beste Kobus,

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Ons het mooi gedink oor wat deur geskryf is en het dadelik 'n paar veranderinge aangebring.

Ons nooi jou uit om na die nuwe foto's te kyk van die veranderinge wat aangebring is.

Beautiful and quiet.

I spent the night here for a wedding. The apartment is not very modern. But met all my necessary requirements. The location is beautiful and the owner was very friendly.

Pragtig en rustig.

Ek het hier oornag vir 'n troue. Die woonstel is nie baie modern nie. Maar het voldoen aan al my nodige vereistes. Die omgewing is pragtig en die eienaar was baie vriendelik.

Ons het die vakansie huis in 1981 gebou.en ek en my familie het wonderlike vakansies hier spandeer. Dus die huis is nie modern nie maar die gerief van ons gaste is vir ons belangrik. Verlede jaar het ons baie verbeteringe gemaak, naamlik 'n nuwe TV, yskaste, ingeboude kaste, nuwe linne ens. Maar vir ons bly die omgewing nog steeds die belangrikste. Die bokkies wat hier buite rondloop die massiew geelhout bome die stilte en veiligheid.
Kom kuier gerus weer.

In the bush, between animals and birds, what an incredible experience.

Who would ever have thought you would stay in a log cabin in the bush! That such a thing exists. The bucks, birds and other animals on your doorstep. Under a tree blanket with the smell of the bush. The service was great. From the start I received great hospitality. Everything was neat and the location exceptionally beautiful. I was surrounded by peace and quiet. The drive there is something that everyone needs to experience. On top of the mountain surrounded by the Knysna Lake on one side and the sea on the other. Incredible, incredible, incredible!

In die bos, tussen die diere en voëls, wat 'n ongelooflike ervaring.

Wie sou ooit kon dink jy in 'n houthuis binne die bos sou bly! Dat so iets bestaan. Die bokke, voëls en ander diere op jou voorstoep. Onder 'n boomkombers met die reuk van die bos. Die diens was puik. Van die intrapslag is ek op die hande gedra. Alles was netjies en die ligging uitsonderlik mooi. Ek was omring deur rustigheid en stilte. Die rit daarheen is iets wat 'n ieder en elk moet beleef. Bo-op die berg omring met die Knysna-meer aan die een kant en die see aan die ander. Ongelooflik, ongelooflik, ongelooflik!

Dit is so verblydend as daar nog mense is wat die natuur in al sy glorie nog kan waardeer. Dit is nou wel n houthuis wat ook sy eie probleme oplewer, maar ons doen ons beste om elke gas te laat voel dat hulle hier welkom is.

Baie dankie Johan vir jou meedeel van die omgewing.

Spacious apartment, clean and well equipped.

We wanted to see the bushbucks and weren't disappointed. Lovely garden, accommodation. Stay at least 2 nights to fully appreciate the place. Outside the mosquitoes bit in the evenings, but inside there were appliances to keep them under control, so no problem. We do recommend guests to bring mosquito repellent.

Lekker ruim woonstel, skoon en goed toegerus.

Ons wou die bosbokke beleef en hulle het ons nie teleurgestel nie! Lieflike tuin, heerlike verblyf. Bly ten minste 2 nagte om die plek regtig te kan waardeer. Buite het die muskiete erg gebyt in die aand, maar binne was daar toestelle om hul te beheer, so geen probleem binne. Ons beveel aan dat gaste muskiet-weermiddel buite gebruik.

Glen House is located in the beautiful Brenton on Lake where wild bucks graze among the houses. Neat, well equipped rooms with friendly service.

Teleurstellend.

Terwyl ons in die kamer gesit het, het die eienaar daar ingekom om die televisie in te stel. In die proses het hy my vriendin se tas gebreek en nie eers verskoning gevra nie. Daarna kon ons glad nie televisie kyk nie - nie eers die stasie wat wel gewerk het, toe hy daar ingekom het nie. Die omgewing is baie mooi, maar ek voel tog die algehele beeld van die plek, is nie op standard nie.

Patrick's Response

Susan,

Ek vra om verskoning dat die TV se klank skielik probleme gegee het. Ek het werklik probeer om dit te herstel, maar ek moes die TV uit 'n ander eenheid haal sodat julle jul gunsteling programme kon kyk. As gevolg van die probleem met die TV, het ek die volgende dag 'n nuwe een gekoop en geinstaleer.

Jou tas het ek aangebied om vir jou op die bed te lig sodat ek aan die TV kon werk; ek is nie seker hoe ek dit kon breek in 'n paar tellings se versigtige hantering nie.

Weereens wil ek julle om verskoning ...

Stuffy rooms. Beds not comfortable. A bit run down but was fine for a quick one night stay over.

Not suitable for mid to up market travellers. Far off the route to Knysna CBD. Very nice surrounds and bush buck were seen around the place.

100% right for what I paid and what I was looking for.

Beautiful area in which to stay. Most of our group stayed in Brenton-on-Sea but after all my photos everyone came and looked at the deer around us. Will definitely bring my wife and sons. Patrick is a good person who looks after you well and ensures everything is perfect. Only thing I would suggest is notices that drinking water is very little in Knysna. Nothing at Glen House. Thanks Pat. See you soon!

100% reg vir wat ek voor betaal en gesoek het.

Pragtige area om in te bly. Meeste van ons groep het in Brenton-on-Sea gebly maar na al my foto's het almal kom loop en die bokkies kom kyk. Sal definitief my vrou en seuns bring. Patrick is 'n goeie persoon wat mooi na jou kyk en seker maak als is perfek. Enigste iets wat ek sal voorstel is kennisgewings dat drinkwater baie min is in Knysna. Geensins enige iets by Glen House nie. Dankie Pat. Sien jou gou weer!

Heerlik, ontspanned, regtig 'n baie oulike plek

Patrick het uit sy pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. Sy vrou het vir varsgebakte beskuit gesorg. Die omgewing is te oulik met die bokkies, tarentale, en Knysna-loerie daar rond. Regtig 'n lekker plek.

Onmiddellik in die natuur gevoel, weg van die stad se gejaagdheid.

The tariff is too high in comparison to other places.

Stap deur ander woonstel se braaideel om by jou deel te kom.

Prys te duur in vergelyking met ander plekke.
