Quiet and pleasant.
Everything was in good order. The only negative point is that there is a small fridge in the room and when I asked if they might have any cold drinks that I could buy, the answer was initially negative. But the owner then later brought me a soft drink, free of charge. It would only be good if, for example, they put a few bottles of water and a few bottles of soft drinks in the small fridge and then just add them to the final bill, should the guests drink from them.

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

Very peaceful, incredibly beautiful view, very tasty breakfast, top guest house
The road noise is a bit disturbing at times, but it's not the guest house's fault - it's just the only road through Knysna.

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!

Hello William
Thank you so much for the positive review of your stay with us. It was indeed a pleasure meeting you and we were pleased that you had decided to extend your stay by one night. One night in Knysna is certainly not enough - we have so much on offer.
We hope to be able to welcome you back to Hide Away in the not too distant future.
Take care and kind regards.

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

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

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

We spent 5 nights here. Colleen welcomed us with a glass of wine and first got to know us a bit and gave us information about what there is to do as well as the best restaurants. The place is neat and clean with a very nice view. We got breakfast on our balcony every morning. I would definitely recommend the place, the owners were great!

A beautiful, spacious room and view, but it was all the details that were so great!
We were truly so pleasantly surprised with what we discovered at Hide-Away! Our booking was a "last minute" decision, and the price and availability so close to town during the Oyster Festival was already good. We were really warmly welcomed, supposedly with a warm cloth, and we got a wonderful room, with a beautiful view of the lagoon! From a warm blanket on the bed, to the little details in the bathroom, power plugs for all our appliances and of course the wonderful hospitality of Colleen and Cecil (who is apparently a great cook too!); there really was NOTHING more we could have asked for! We will DEFINITELY return to Hide-Away again! Thanks again for the wonderful accommodation!
