Great location, great hosts, great holiday.

Hide-Away Guest House once again delivered a fabulous holiday experience for my wife and I. This is our second year staying there and hosts Colleen and Cecil welcomed us back like old friends. The breakfast, as always, were superb and whether sitting outside on the patio with that awesome lagoon view, or inside in the dining area made for an awesome start to the day. In a nutshell ─ great location, great hosts, great holiday.

Hello Paul,
It was indeed a pleasure having you return to Hide Away Guest House, especially over the weekend of the amazing Springbok win of the Webb Ellis Trophy! Great moments to share. Don't forget you said you would let us have a video of your paragliding experience! We are already looking forward to your return next year. In the meantime, stay healthy and well and out of mischief, hehe.
Kind regards,
Cecil & Colleen

A most enjoyable and relaxing stay with the added extra of amazing views of the Knysna Lagoon and Heads.

Our stay at Hide-Away Guest House really finished off our holiday in Knysna on a high note. Our hosts, Colleen and Cecil, were friendly and helpful, they made us feel very welcome without being obtrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with them. We will be back next year.

Beautiful view.

Perfect location, friendly hosts, helpful and very pleasant. Beautiful building and conveniently located to reach all the places in town. Would definitely recommend this guesthouse.

Pragtige uitsig.

Die ligging is perfek, die gashere vriendelik, behulpsaam en baie aangenaam. Mooi gebou en gerieflik om alles in die dorp te kan bereik. Sal vir seker die gastehuis aanbeveel.

Very friendly reception and accommodation, value for money, a home away form home.

Thanks for the friendly reception, wonderful stay and nice breakfast. Everything was excellent and we enjoyed it a lot and if the opportunity arises again, we will definitely make use of your guesthouse!

Baie vriendelike ontvangs en verblyf, waarde vir geld, 'n tuiste van huis.

Dankie vir die vriendelike ontvangs, wonderlike verblyf en lekker ontbyt. Alles was puik en ons het dit baie geniet en as die geleentheid opduik sal ons beslis weer van julle gastehuis gebruik maak.

Hello Hans & Liz,

My Afrikaans is too poor for me to reply to your review in Afrikaans - so BIG apologies!

It was indeed a pleasure meeting you and your cousin last weekend. As promised, when next we pass through Swellendam we will make a point of looking you up - by then you might have come up with a name for your home!

Thanks once again for staying with us - we are looking forward to sampling some of your vegetables if you pass our way!.

Kind regards
Cecil & Colleen

Breathtakingly beautiful!

Perfect place if you're looking for accommodation in Knysna. The room are big and neat. The view is stunning! Definitely worth the money. This little place is close to everything. The owners were very friendly and patiently described all the must-see spots in Knysna.

Snak na asem mooi!

Dit is die perfekte plek as jy in Knysna wil wees. Die kamers is netjies en groot. Die uitsig is uiters mooi! Definitief die geld werd gewees. Die plekkie is naby alles. Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en het ons mooi verduidelik oor alles wat 'n moet sien is in Knysna.

Baie lekker gebly!

Ons het 5 nagte hier spandeer. Colleen het ons verwelkom met 'n glas wyn en ons eers bietjie leer ken en informasie vir ons gegee van wat alles daar is om te doen asook die beste restaurante. Die plek is netjies en skoon met 'n baie mooi uitsig. Ons het elke oggend ontbyt op ons balkon gekry. Ek sal definitief die plek aanbeveel, die eienaars was wonderlik!

Dankie, dit was uitstekend.

Die verblyf was baie goed en ligging is uitstekend oor die Knysna meer. Baie dankie vir die verblyf.

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer, altyd bly om te hoor gaste het dit geniet.

Mooi uitsig, naby aan die dorp, goeie waarde vir geld.

Ons het 'n kamer met 'n uitsig oor die strandmeer gehad - dit was baie mooi. Goeie waarde vir geld - naby aan dorp. Sal weer daar bly.

Jana D

Lieflik!

Dit was ideaal vir 'n ma-dogter-wegbreeknaweek. Heerlike ontbyt, vriendelike en flink diens. Baie spesiaal en huislik. Ongelukkig koue weer gehad anders het ons verseker geswem in die glashelder blou swembad.

Hierdie gastehuis kan voorwaar ten sterkste aanbeveel word.

Ongelooflike luukse kamers met net die beste meubels en toebehore. Colleen is gasvry en verskaf al die nodige inligting van die omgewing.

Skoon en netjies, vriendelike eienaars. Die ontbyt kan bietjie verbeter.

'n Pragtige, ruim kamer en uitsig, maar dit was al die detail wat so wonderlik was!

Ons was werklik so aangenaam verras met wat ons by Hide-Away ontdek het! Ons bespreking was 'n "laaste minuut"-besluit, en die prys en beskikbaarheid so naby aan die dorp tydens die Oesterfees was alreeds goed. Ons was werklik hartlik verwelkom, kwansuis met 'm warm lappie, en ons het 'n wonderlike kamer, met 'n pragtige uitsig oor die lagoon gekry! Van 'n warm kombers op die bed, tot die klein detailtjies in die badkamer, kragproppe vir al ons toestelle en natuurlik die wonderlike gasvryheid van Colleen en Cecil (wat skynbaar 'n wonderlike kok ...

Very convenient during Oyster Festival, walking distance to waterfront.

It is very convenient when taking part in the events. The room was spotless and the service was great. I would recommend the Hide-Away Guest House any time.

Fantasties - goeie en vriendelike diens!

Colleen het ons harlik en gasvry ontvang. Die kamer was baie mooi en netjies gewees.

Laurette B

Baie netjies en volledig toegerus.

Die gastehuis is ideaal vir die warm somerdae, maar ek beveel dit nie aan vir winterverblyf nie aangesien dit aan die skadukant van die strandmeer geleë is.

Louis S

Baie gesellig!

Baie vriendelik ontvang. Verblyf uitstekend. Goeie raad ontvang van vermaak en kuierplekke in dorp. Dit help baie vir iemand wat nie die area ken nie.
