We stayed at Lazy Lion for two nights. The setup was really comfortable and the host made it an incredible experience. They shared their insights on Knysna and South Africa and helped us refine our itenary for better. Interior was very interesting and the room was perfect with an amazing view of “Two Heads”. We loved our morning and evening teas on the balcony. The Breakfast menu was thoughtful of our vegan lifestyle. My wife became a full fan of their home prepared granola.

We loved the location and interior design of this apartment. It is definitely in the top 3 of nicest accommodations we stayed at in South Africa. Located at walking distance from the Waterfront and just a really nice apartment to 'come home' to and relax. We highly recommend. The self check in process makes it easy to choose your own arrival time, which we very much appreciated.

Had a great stay at Lagoon View, which was easy to find. The apartment was kept warm at night and has an incredible view of the Lagoon. No worries about power outages because there is an inverter on site. The couple owning the place were very helpful and friendly. We also had the use of the braai master and table in the garden to enjoy the view. Will definitely book again at Lagoon View if accommodations are available

The hosts were fantastic, very welcoming and my wife and daughter had a great stay at the property. We accidently left some clothes at the property and Rob and Dianna went out of their way to send these via courier to our next accomodation which was much apprecaited. Of all the properties we stayed in our 2 week SA holiday this was without doubt the best place.
