Een van die skoonste, netjiesste plekke waar ons al gebly het en die diens is puik.

Dit was 'n op-die-nippertjie-bespreking, maar ons verwagtinge is oortref. Dis klein, maar gerieflik met alles wat ons nodig gehad het. Die diens is voortreflik en die hele oord is netjies en blinkskoon. Dis boonop baie beskostigbaar. Ons beveel dit absoluut aan.

One of the cleanest, neatest places we have stayed and the service is great.

It was a last minute booking but our expectations were exceeded. It's small, but comfortable with everything we needed. The service is excellent and the whole resort is tidy and sparkling clean. It's also very affordable. We absolutely recommend it.

Pragtige plek tussen mooi groot bome.

Was baie aangenaam en het baie van die idee gehou dat dit half in die "bos" was. Love it.

Vakansiepret.

Kinders het die heerlike groot swembad, klimraam en speletjieskamer baie geniet. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en het baie welkom gevoel. Ons het uiters goeie kliëntediens ontvang. Die eenhede is goed toegerus en netjies. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike, baie nodige wegbreek.

Dear Rodger,
Thank you for taking the time to comment on your stay at Knysna Chalets. The resort is actually not under construction, in fact, the resort remains exactly as it has been for the past 20 years. We are, however, enhancing the resort by adding a restaurant and pub for the guest enjoyment. Our plans are currently under submission and we are therefore, adding to the resort and not detracting from facilities but rather adding to it. We do hope you will visit us once all the necessary permissions have been granted.
Kind regards,
Cheryl

Gooderson Knysna Chalets 's response

Dear Lettie,
We were very fortunate to be fully occupied up until 14th January, 2022 which is a rare experience. Some of our guests do leave the chalets in a particularly bad state and it does take the ladies quite a while to get the unit sorted in time for the next arrival. In addition with the back to back bookings, it is extremely difficult to get the sleeper couches and carpets fully springcleaned between bookings. We are afraid, not every guest takes care of the rooms, and the abuse of the chalets is a very real experience, which really upsets both me and my staff as we really love and take care of our chalets.
Our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
Cheryl

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en selfs nuwe vriende gemaak. Kinders kon vrylik beweeg sonder enige bekommernis oor hul veiligheid.

Ons was eers verbaas oor die een slaapkamer maar die personeel het kom wys hoe om slaapbank op te stel. Sal beslis weer besoek.

We had a great time and even made new friends. Children could move freely without any concern for their safety.

At first we were surprised by the one bedroom but the staff came to show us how to set up a sofa bed. Will definitely visit again.

Dit was ok.

Alhoewel die woonstel se kombuis goed ingerig was, was die matte, gordyne en rusbanke baie vuil! Ons tienerseuns moes op 'n te klein uittrek bank in die woonkamer slaap wat grillerig vuil was. Ontvangspersoneel was egter vriendelik.

It was ok.

Although the apartment's kitchen was well appointed, the carpets, curtains and couches were very dirty! Our teenage sons had to sleep on a too-small pull-out sofa in the living room, which was hideously dirty. Reception staff were friendly though.

Dear Chaneen,
We were horrified to read your comment and immediately visited the chalet to see where we had failed you, as our esteemed guest. We checked the curtains which were stained with varnish. This happened before we bought the resort which was in November 2019 and unfortunately, due to Covid there was a "no spend policy" to keep the company alive during Covid. We have since purchased new curtains, sorted out the all the complaints listed above. The sleeper couch is a double sleeper couch, perhaps you could consider a 6 sleeper on your next visit to Knysna Chalets.
Kind regards,
Cheryl
