Good location, nice people.

We had a nice stay with a good view of the Knysna Bay, enjoyed the clean pool area and the ambience of the place. Mart and Peter took good care of us, and we can highly recommend the accommodation.

Waarde vir geld, wonderlike gasvryheid en goed geleë.

Peter en Mart het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak. Ongelukkig was dit net vir een aand en ons sou graag langer wou gebly het. Die gastehuis is goed geleë met alles wat mens nodig sou kry en meer. Mart se ontbyt was uit die boeke en 'n heerlike bederf.

Peter and Mart went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Unfortunately it was only for one night and we would have liked to stay longer. The guest house is well located with everything one would need and more. Mart's breakfast was out of the books and a delicious treat.

Comfortable.

Was a little disappointed as the pictures that were on the booking site at the time were a little misleading as to what we got. The room was the same but I kind of expected to have a room with a view and not tucked behind in the parking lot. Was also a little dismayed to find out that there was a sleeper couch in the room which could have been offered when the owner found out that I was travelling with my dad. It really wasn't bad, it just could have been better!

Guinea Fowl Lodge 's response

Hi Meg,
Thank you for your review.
Your enquiry was about a double room. The room you had was the last room left available for that period. As you well know, it was at the peak of the busiest season, and we had so many requests for the room.
You did not tell us in the enquiry that you were travelling with your dad, so we were in the dark regarding that.
We only heard about this after you had booked in.
Regarding the sleeper couch (not a sleeper bed), it has a very thin mattress which we use in emergencies for children. Have you requested its use, we would have helped you. I'm sure you would not have been very comfortable.
Had you requested a room with a view, we could have informed you they were booked out.

Knysna jou lekker ding!

Guinea Fowl Gastehuis was heerlik gewees. Eienaars is so gasvry met heerlike ontbyt elke oggend. Sal vir seker gou weer daar kom draai. Knysna is 'n bestemming wat baie na aan ons harte lê. Kan dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

Ruim, mooi kamer en perfekte versorging deur Mart en Pete.

Guinea Fowl Lodge is baie sentraal geleë met 'n pragtige uitsig. Die kamer waarin ons tuisgegaan het was groot en smaakvol gemeubileer. Die ontbyt was uitstaande. Mart en Pete laat mens dadelik tuis voel en het uit hul pad gegaan om ons verblyf aangenaam te maak. Ons sal beslis weer die Guinea Fowl Lodge kies vir ons volgende besoek aan Knysna.

Baie goed geleë en stapafstand na Knysna se sentrale sakegebied. Topgehalte diens deur die eienaars (woonagtig op die perseel). Veilige skadunet-parkeerplek. Pragtige uitsigte oor Knysna en meer. Verkeer se geraas vanaf hoofpad deur Knysna kan dalk pla.

Die verblyf by Guinea Fowl Lodge was wonderlik! Dit is baie goed geleë, naby die dorp, maar net ver genoeg van die besige geraas.

We stayed over for one night and it was fantastic. It is a very well managed B&B and our hosts made sure that we had everything we needed. Our room was ideal - spacious and with a balcony which gave an awesome view.
