Rustig en aangenaam.

Alles was in goeie orde. Die enigste negatiewe punt is dat daar 'n yskassie in die kamer is en toe ek vra of hulle dalk enige koeldranke het wat ek kan koop, was die antwoord aanvanklik negatief. Maar die eienaar het toe later vir my 'n koeldrank gebring, sonder kostes. Dit sal net goed wees as hulle bv 'n paar botteltjies water en 'n paar botteltjies koeldrank in die yskassie sit en dit dan net by die finale rekening voeg, sou die gaste daarvan drink.

Hide-Away Guest House's response

Hello Rouxlene
We acknowledge your feedback but would mention that due to the hospitality Covid protocols we are not permitted to have anything in the mini-bars/fridges. Guests are able to put their own cooldrinks, etc. into the fridges in their rooms.
We hope that your few days away from home gave you some quality R and R and that you returned home with recharged batteries!
Thank you once again for staying with us.
Kind regards

Baie rustig, ongelooflike mooi uitsig, ontbyt baie lekker, top gastehuis

Die geraas van die pad is met tye bietjie steurend, maar dis nie die gastehuis se fout nie - dis maar net die enigste pad deur Knysna.

Hide-Away Guest House's response

Thank you for your positive feedback. You are quite right about the road in front of Hide Away, but we like to think the view more than makes up for it. It was great to meet you and we look forward to having you return.

Colleen and Cecil are far too kind, they made us feel at home. The guest house is beautiful with its vintage furniture, not something you see everyday. Will miss waking up to a lovely view!

We felt so safe and at home.

Hide-Away Guest House's response

Hello Yolanda,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay with us last week.

It was indeed a pleasure meeting you and being able to chat about our changing market. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Hide Away and should you refer any friends, family and/or colleagues to stay with us, you can rest assured we will take good care of them.

Kind regards,
Cecil & Colleen

Pragtige plek met baie mooi uitsig oor die lagune. Die eenheid was super skoon en gereeld gediens. Die ontbyt was heerlik.

Hello Gaynor and Steve,
Thank you once again for staying with us. We hope your ride to East London went well and that you were able to rest for 2 days before heading back home to Polokwane.
I have not forgotten to make contact with HOG SA and will do so in the next week.
Here in Knysna we are having a lovely day of rain to add to the beauty of the Garden Route and hope that your dam is also filling up.
Take care and kind regards,
Cecil and Colleen

Hi there Wayne,

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.

Hide-Away Guest House's response

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.

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

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!

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.

'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 ook is!); daar was regtig NIKS waarvoor ons meer kon vra nie! Ons sal SONDER TWYFEL weer terugkeer na Hide-Away! Nogmaals dankie vir die wonderlike akkommodasie!

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.
