A fantastic guest house in the hills directly above Knysna. We felt very welcome at the Lazy Lion, and Ella and Ricardo were really superb hosts who gave us good recommendations for the town! The rooms were spacious and luxurious, and the lounge and the pool very inviting. When we are in Knysna the next time we will definitely stay at their lovely guesthouse again!

To those who reside in the heart before the room it wasn't an ordinary stay; it was a true journey of happiness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. The hotel is undoubtedly beautiful, but what truly made the experience magical was you. Every single member kindness, genuine smiles, and beautiful spirits. thank you especially for the joy you added to my little son's heart, [jaber]. You made him feel important and cared for, and his happiness was the greatest gift we could have received. The memories of his laughter at your hotel will remain cherished in our hearts forever. You don't just provide hotel service; you provide a warmth and a feeling of home that made us feel like we were among our family🤝😁

This place is amazing! The view over Knysna is very hard to beat. You feel like you are remote, while the center of Knysna is only a 10-min drive away. The breakfast is just wonderful and the hosts were very helpful with recommendations. We would definitely stay here again. P.S: their dog is just the sweetest.

De View was the perfect place for us to stay for 3 nights. The location was ideal as it was close to town and many of the attractions we wanted to see. The property itself is clean, neat and very comfortable. The hosts thought of everything one might need. The hosts themselves are amazing! They were ready to help and make our stay comfortable. The breakfast and the view is something to rave about. We could have easily stayed longer.
