Altyd lekker by Abalone Lodge.

Dit was nou al ons 6de kuier by Abalone Lodge. Ons was nog altyd tevrede met hulle diens. Abalone se mense is altyd baie vriendelik en behulpsaam as jy iets nodig het. Uitsig oor die meer is uitstekend!

This was now our 6th visit to Abalone Lodge. We have always been satisfied with their service. Abalone's people are always very friendly and helpful if you need anything. View over the lake is excellent!

Dit was 'n uitstekende naweek!

Dit was baie lekker om by Abalone Lodges te bly. Alles was op plek soos op webtuiste. Sal definitief weer teruggaan. Al wat bietjie gekrap het, was dat die DSTV-kanale nie alles beskikbaar was nie. Ons wou rugby kyk, maar kon nie.

It was an excellent weekend!

It was very nice to stay at Abalone Lodges. Everything was in place as on website. Will definitely go back again. All that was a bit of a bummer was that the DSTV channels were not all available. We wanted to watch rugby, but couldn't.

It was lovely.

It was a lovely and lively experience, lively in view and interaction to the nearby facilities. The staff were extremely accommodating and available, while providing much needed privacy. Convenience of your everyday tools (i.e. utensils and appliances) make your travel light and stay very pleasant. The stay was amazing to say the least and the facilities housed such comfort.

Well positioned and rustic.

Was very nice and clean. Well managed by staff. The pool was clean and nicely maintained. Although unit 12 didn't have an aircon, it wasn't really needed. There are protective parking bays for your car. It would be nice if they could upgrade to Netflix or have some YouTube. Apart from that, it's nice and I love the place.

Lovely getaway.

Our log chalet at Abalone Lodges was comfortable and clean and serviced daily by 2 friendly cleaning staff. The view from the balcony was lovely with gorgeous sunsets on clear days. We were a short drive to the city centre and Knysna Heads lookout/lagoon. James at reception was very helpful and friendly. We hope to visit again soon.

We loved the cottage. Braai was just not nice and clean and we didn't know what to do when it rained. It would be nice if they could leave us some recommendations about where to eat and what to do for families. But place very cute.

Not bad.

It was very quiet. I think it had more to do with the fact that the property was situated in a residential area. Also, load shedding had to be there as well. But overall, very nice place. Not for children though, as noise levels would rise.

It was very nice and I enjoyed staying there for the weekend and the service was excellent.

Please look at the checkout time when someone is asking for more time, and there is no check-in for the day, music at least during the day even if it's not so loud, thank you.

Abalone Lodges 's response

Hey Zukiswa
Thank you for your review and we are super pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us.
We had an arrival for your room that day and staff go home at 1 pm on a Sunday to be with their families. Unfortunately, extra time is not always possible.
We understand that some guests would like music, but unfortunately due to the cabins being so close to each other, we do not allow it.
Best wishes and kindest regards,
Annelize

Such good value for money. The bed was so comfortable and the bath was amazing after a long trip!

Was very pleasantly surprised with the accommodation and the service received by James was second to none! Had one of the best nights sleep on the awesome bed. If I were ever in Knysna again I would 100% book here again.

Gemaklik, skoon en goed geleë.

My klagte het niks met ons verblyf te doen nie, maar wel met "loadshedding". Ek en my 12-jarige seun het 'n lekker naweek bespreek en Abalone het ons aandag getrek omdat die kamer 'n spa-bad het en DSTV wat baie punte getel het by die amper-tiener seun. Toe kry ons "loadshedding" van 6 pm tot 10 pm. Dit verander ons ondervinding in een wat glad nie voel soos waarde vir geld nie. Bad en TV werk nie, en al wat ons het is 'n bed en selfoon vir die aand. Laat mens dink om eerder goedkoper te betaal vir verblyf in die toekoms.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Comfortable, clean and well located.

My complaint has nothing to do with our accommodation, but with "loadshedding". My 12 year old son and I booked a nice weekend away and Abalone caught our attention because the room has a spa bath and DSTV which scored a lot of points with the almost teenage boy. Then we got "loadshedding" from 6 pm to 10 pm. This turns our experience into one that doesn't feel like value for money at all. Bath and TV don't work, and all we have is a bed and cell phone for the evening. Makes you think about paying cheaper for accommodation in the future.

Verskriklik mooi en gerieflik!

Abalone Lodges het 'n groot verskeidenheid tussen hulle eenhede. Hulle is almal baie mooi en goed geleë in Knysna. Neem kennis dat die wifi nie werk wanneer die krag af is nie. Kan vervelig raak. Ons het nou nogal gedink dit sal oulik wees as hulle 'n kuierarea ook het. Omskep een van die eenhede in 'n klein restaurant met 'n pooltafel bv. Beddens is baie gemaklik! Sal definitief terugkeer.

Abalone Lodges have a great variety between their units. They are all very beautiful and well located in Knysna. Note that the wifi does not work when the power is off. Can get boring. We kind of thought it would be cool if they had a hangout area too. Convert one of the units into a small restaurant with a pool table e.g. Beds are very comfortable! Will definitely return.

Kom kuier in Knysna.

Abalone Lodges is gerieflike verblyf met al die basiese benodigdhede vir 'n selfsorg-vakansie. Die stoepie is 'n bonus. 'n Mens kyk uit oor die lagoon tot by die Heads. Die swembad was 'n bonus vir die warm dae. Abalone Lodges is sentraal geleë om die Suid-Kaap te verken. Dankie vir 'n heerlike vakansie.

Die perfekte plek om 'n dag of twee deur te bring. Ons het die dek wat uitkyk op die meer baie geniet, en die houthut is mooi afgewerk en oulik gedoen. Die kombuisie is wel effe knap maar heel goed vir 1 persoon om kos te maak. Die ligging is baie sentraal en naby aan als.

Die gebruik van die lodge was vir 1 nag, 2 persone. Baie tevrede - geen rede om te kla.

Die ontvangs was goed en professioneel, en het aanbevelings gemaak vir goeie eetplekke. Die persoon het ook 'n onderdakparkeerplek aan ons toegeken wat baie gerieflik naby aan ons eenheid was. Die uistig is baie mooi, en die plekkie het als wat mens benodig. Die enigste 2 negatiewe was: daar was 'n water lek by die yskas op die vloer. Dit was geen risiko vir ons nie, maar met die plank vloere kan dit onnodige herstel kostes tot gevolg he. Die borrelbad se motors het uitgeval as jy die borrelbad aanskakel. Na my mening is die pomp te sterk want dit veroorsaak dat water uit die bad spat op die vloer.

The use of the lodge was for 1 night, 2 persons. Very satisfied - no reason to complain.

The reception was good and professional, and made recommendations for good places to eat. The person also allocated us a covered parking space which was very conveniently close to our unit. The exterior is very beautiful, and the place has everything you need. The only 2 negatives were: there was a water leak by the fridge on the floor. It was no risk for us, but with the plank floors it could result in unnecessary repair costs. The hot tub's motors cut out when you turn on the hot tub. In my opinion, the pump is too strong because it causes water to splash out of the tub onto the floor.

Fantastiese uitsig, stilte.

Baie rustig veral vir mense wat wil wegbreek van die gejaag. Is net 5 km uit die middedorp maar daar is 'n Fresh Stop, Quick Spar en petrolstasie net om die draai. So baie dinge om te sien en te doen, 'n naweek is te kort. Ons kom kuier gou weer!

Very peaceful especially for people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle. Is only 5 km from the town center but there is a Fresh Stop, Quick Spar and gas station just around the corner. So many things to see and do, a weekend is too short. We will visit again soon!

Die rustigheid was goed.

Ek beveel enige tyd Abalone Lodges aan. Alhoewel die opsigter baie onvriendelik is. Iemand vriendliker behoort almal se aankoms te verwelkom. Asook, jou tot by jou eenheid te neem. Die skoonmakers is die wenners daar. Baie vriendlik en gesels lekker! Tydens loadshedding was ons kers op 'n nippertjie, ons moes ons selfone gebruik vir beligting. Oor die algemeen is Abalone Lodges goeie akkommodasie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

The tranquility was good.

I recommend Abalone Lodges anytime. Although the caretaker is very unfriendly. Someone friendlier should welcome everyone's arrival. Also, take you to your unit. The cleaners are the winners there. Very friendly and nice to talk to! During loadshedding, our candle was running out, we had to use our mobile phones for lighting. Overall, Abalone Lodges are good accommodation.

Everything you want and need.

We had an amazing 3-day stay. It's close to everything, ± a 5-minute drive to the Knysna waterfront. Bosun's Pub & Grill is right around the corner, walking distance for breakfast, lunch and dinner or just drinks. They also have Wi-Fi, which isn't mentioned in the description. There's a little basket in the kitchen with coffee, tea, sugar and Cremora. Ironing board, iron, hairdryer and hangers are also provided for convenience, and candles for loadshedding. Kitchen has also been redone, with new kitchen cabinets etc., photo's need to be updated.

Een aand was te kort, maar is bly ek het die plek ontdek.

Het die mooiste uitsig oor Knysnameer uit ons bed gehad. Als was netjies. Net bietjie raad: Aangesien beurtkrag nou hier is om te bly, kan hul miskien belê in 'n herlaaibare liggie. Daar was 'n kers, maar ek is altyd bang iemand stamp hom om in die houthuis. Verder was dit lekker!

One night was too short, but glad I discovered the place.

Had the most beautiful view of Knysnameer from our bed. Als was neat. Just some advice: Since load shedding is here to stay, maybe they can invest in a rechargeable light. There was a candle, but I'm always afraid someone will knock him over in the log house. Other than that, it was fun!

Abalone Lodges exceeded our expectations, from the amazing views to the friendly staff. If you want something different and unique, this is the place to be. The swimming pool is lovely to hang out. We enjoyed the braai/relaxation area at the back, the kids enjoyed themselves so much. It was worth it. We celebrated my birthday and it was amazing! I'm glad we spent it here.

Uitstekend!

Ons het baie lekker gekuier en gebly by Abalone Lodges. Die uitsig oor die blue-flag-marina, lagoon en strand was besonders ─ ons kon nie genoeg van die wonderlike uitsig kry nie! Al was ons 'n week lank by Abalone Lodges, het ons gewens ons kon nog langer bly en kuier. Die eenheid was spacious, goed toegerus en netjies! Swembad en privaat braai-area 'n bonus. Baie dankie vir 'n onvergeetlike vakansie!

Verbaas oor hoe skoon en netjies die huisies was. Sal enige tyd weer hier gaan bly.

Ek en my kollega het saam daar gebly vir 'n paar dae, en ons kamers kon aanmekaar heg met 'n deur wat heerlik was. Ons het basies ons eie huisie gehad in plaas van net 2 aparte kamers. Baie beïndruk met goeie diens. Die oord is sentraal geleë en maklik om te kry op Google Maps.

Baie mooi, gerieflike, netjies en skoon.

Ons verblyf was ideaal vir ’n wegbreek huweliksherdenking. Abalone is ’n goeie en rustige area, met ’n pragtige uitsig oor Knysna Lagoon. Ons sal definitief weer daar tuisgaan as ons in die area is. Dit was ’n besonderse naweek.

Very nice, comfortable, neat and clean.

Our stay was ideal for a wedding anniversary getaway. Abalone is a good and peaceful area, with a beautiful view of Knysna Lagoon. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the area. It was a special weekend.

Mooi omgewing.

Ons het ons verblyf baie geniet. Alles top klas en netjies. Die gratis hout het ons verbaas! Baie bly daaroor. So mooi omgewing. Al negatief is die kindertjies wat baie gehuil en geraas het in die woonstelblok daar agter. Maar niks wat Abalone daaraan kan doen nie. Dankie vir julle puik diens! Ons kom graag weer.

Nice environment.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything top class and neat. The free wood surprised us! Very happy about it. Such a beautiful setting. All negative are the children who cried and made a lot of noise in the apartment block behind. But nothing Abalone could do about it. Thank you for your great service! We would love to come again.

Mooi plek!

Ons het net 2 aande gebly oorgeslaap by Abalone, en dit was baie lekker. Ons kom lekker braai, alles was netjies en skoon. En hulle ekstra moeite gedoen om vir ons 'n lead aan te le vir yskas in die kar.

Cabin fever.

Baie lekker, pragtige uitsig.

Plekkie is baie mooi en het pragtige uitsig. Enigste ding wat ons nie gelukkig is oor nie. Bestuurder se houding is onnodig en dadelik op die aanval, nadat hulle nie kamer moes skoon maak, en toe skoon maak, maar halwe bottle wyn is geneem en niks anders nie en toe ons vra, word daar verskoning gemaak en toe nog gevra of ons dit terug verwag. So sy houding en manier van mense hanteer is eintlik al probleem wat ons het.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Very nice, beautiful view.

Plekkie is very beautiful and has a beautiful view. Only thing we are not happy about. Manager's attitude is unnecessary and immediately on the attack, after they didn't have to clean the room, and then cleaned, but half a bottle of wine was taken and nothing else and when we asked, they apologized and then asked if we expect back So his attitude and way of dealing with people is actually all the problem we have.

Rustige klein plekkie.

Baie netjiese, klein plekkie. Pragtige uitsig. Die toilethokkie is bitter klein en as jy groot gebou is sal jy nie daar kan instap of gemaklik sit nie. Daar is geen kosmaakgeriewe in die huisie self nie, maar wel 'n buitebraai so entjie weg.

Ons het Abalone ongelooflik baie geniet. Die luukse houthuis was mooi, netjies en alles in werkende orde. Goeie diens ook ontvang met dames wat gereeld jou plek kom skoon maak. Sal Abalone en Knysna beslis aanraai vir enige iemand wat saam familie en vriende wil gaan rus en die batterye wil herlaai. Dankie Abalone en die webblad. Ons sal beslis weer terug wees.

Gemiddeld.

Eenheid is baie kleiner as wat ek verwag het, maar uitstekend toegerus, netjies en stylvol. Lieflike uitsig oor die lagoon. Lekker braai-area in die tuin agter die eenheid. Huisies word baie warm, so die lugversorging het goed te pas gekom.

Baie lekker, netjies, het lekker gerus.

Daar was net 2 goedjies wat bietjie teleurstellend was. Geen braaigereedskap (tange ens.). Klein koppies (ons is koffiemense). Dit is selfsorg, maar die goedjies is gewoonlik beskikbaar by ander selfsorgplekkies. Saterdagaand was daar baie geraas by die lagoonarea, harde musiek ens. Dit is natuurlik buite julle beheer, maar was bietjie steurend. Anders as dit het ons dit regtig geniet en sal dit aanbeveel vir familie en vriende.

Very nice, neat, had a good rest.

There were only 2 things that were a bit disappointing. No grilling tools (tongs etc.). Small cups (we are coffee people). It is self-catering, but the goodies are usually available at other self-catering places. Saturday night there was a lot of noise at the lagoon area, loud music etc. This is of course out of your control, but was a bit disturbing. Other than that we really enjoyed it and would recommend it to family and friends.

We stayed for a 18th anniversary. Our cabin was between other cabins but we felt quite secluded. We spent a lot of our time on the balcony enjoying the view of the lagoon. We also made use of the braai facility which was really nice and clean and the complimentary wood was a lovely added bonus. On our last night there the wind was pumping but we were nice and cosy in our cabin. Really good value for money.

Pragtige huisies en veilige area.

Ons was vir 4 aande by Abalone Lodges ingeboek. Die ligging is taamlik sentraal, tien minute van die Waterfrontarea af. One is baie vriendelik ontvang en ons eenheid is daagliks skoongemaak. Sekuriteit was vir ons 'n prioriteit, omdat ons met ons fietse getoer het. Hulle het 'n sekuriteitshek en 'n sekuriteitsman wat elke aand toesig hou. Daar is braaigeriewe en die kombuis het alles in wat jy moontlik sou nodig hê.

We were booked into Abalone Lodges for 4 nights. The location is quite central, ten minutes from the Waterfront area. One was received very kindly and our unit was cleaned daily. Security was a priority for us, as we were touring with our bikes. They have a security gate and a security man who supervises every night. There are braai facilities and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need.

Dit was asemrowend!

Abalone Lodge is regtig 'n fantastiese plek in die hart van alles: natuur, netheid, ligging, veiligheid, vriendlike personeel en vir my en my vrou is Abalone lodge en Knysna baie spesiaal! Dis 'n besonderse plek - a home away from home.

Ruim, mooi en baie netjies.

Ons was op pad huis toe en het net een aand oorgeslaap. Maar was baie spyt ons kon nie langer bly. Afgepak en nie eers gaan uiteet nie. Wou net daar bly. Lieflik en mooi ingerig en ruim, met die lekkerste spa-bad. Sal beslis weer daar kom oorbly, dankie!

Pragtig en gemaklik.

Dink ons het 'n groot chalet gehad. So die kombuis was baie ruim met alles wat mens kan nodig hê in. Kind het op sleeper couch geslaap. Wonderlike uitsig. Netjies en skoon. Negatiewe: Inkloktyd op die internet was 11:00. Toe ons 13:00 daar kom is ons gevra om terug te kom op die regte tyd. Die Jacuzzi-bad het nie gewerk nie. En die water nie baie warm nie.

Fasiliteite en netheid met aankoms baie goed!

Ligging naby dorp ideaal, maar ook ver genoeg. Selfsorg, maar sou dalk 'n opsionele skoonmaakdiens verkies. Om dalk die badkamer te kom opknap en skoon handdoeke te kry, maar dit het ons nie veel gepla nie.

Abalone Lodge is a must for any couple/family

Hubby and I went to Abalone Lodge on our 20year anniversary weekend. Upon our arrival we were greeted and shown to our accommodation in a very friendly manner. When we stepped into our room we were pleasantly surprised with the gesture Abalone went through to make our stay special: there were lovely pink roses, chocolates, and a bottle of sparkling grape juice ready and waiting for us! In the bathroom they put rose petals all around a nice spa bath. Tip-top service from them made the weekend even more special. A big thank you to all the staff at Abalone Lodge!!!
