We slept well.

We slept well, the host was very welcoming and friendly. However, the place is not very clean, the host was kind enough to give us a room with its own bathroom, apparently what the website does not mention for other rooms at the place is that there is a communal bathroom. The shower area was extremely dirty. Almost mouldy. Very disgusting. We did not shower. The kitchen is very dirty, the place smells of mould, the coffee mugs are all stained and smell of mould. The bedding was very dirty and stained, the blanket on the bed had patches of yellow stains and was very disgusting to use. The owners should invest in cleaning the place up, it is a very nice place but very dirty.

Goed geslaap.

Net oorgeslaap, was goed. Badkamer bietjie swam en kombuis taai. Bunkerbed kraak baie wanneer beweeg.

As a family we went for the Knysna Marathon.

The wooden structure makes for very little privacy and the double bed matress is very very old. I decided to sleep on one of the bunk beds instead.

Large group

Not what was expected.

Pictures and description on website not clear. We booked a 6 sleeper and thought it was 2 rooms. 1 big room on first floor. Had senior citizens with the group that can't climb stairs. N2 lodge accommodated us in the 8-sleeper ground floor unit which was appreciated. Still, 1 room 1 shower. Also ran out of gas so couldn't finish breakfast on second day. Accommodation will be fine for a family group that don't mind sharing 1 room and it is quite central to harbor etc.

It was ok for the price.

I was shocked to find out that no alcohol is allowed to be consumed on the premises. I missed that during my booking. However, people did consume alcohol at the braai area while busy with a braai; maybe they had permission. Please install an extractor fan in the toilet/bathroom since there are no windows.

Die staf is verskriklik akkommoderend!

Ons het in een van die vloereenhede geboek. Dit was byna onmoontlik om te slaap met die mense wat bo ons slaap, die eenhede is geskei deur houtvloere. Na ons eerste aand se frustrasies het die eienaar ons aanbeveel na twee ander eenhede wat ons tyd geliefliker kan maak die volgende aand. Ons het dit verskriklik waardeer, dankie. Beddens was gemaklik. Dit is 'n gesellige plekkie. Basiese goed word voorsien (koffie, melk, handdoeke. ), vol DSTV was in ons eerste kamer ingesluit. Wifi is aan wanneer krag af is. Badkamers is mooi, maar word bederf met die dreine wat stink. Weet nie of Knysna 'n probleem het nie. Daar is 'n groot kombuis wat almal van gebruik mag maak, hy word baie skoon gehou.

The staff is terribly accommodating!

We booked into one of the floor units. It was almost impossible to sleep with the people sleeping above us, the units were separated by wooden floors. After our first night's frustrations, the owner recommended us to two other units that could make our time more pleasant the next night. We really appreciated it, thank you. Beds were comfortable. It is a cozy place. Basics are provided (coffee, milk, towels. ), full DSTV was included in our first room. Wifi is on when power is off. Bathrooms are nice but spoiled with the drains smelling. Don't know if Knysna has a problem. There is a large kitchen that everyone can use, it is kept very clean.

Very neat and clean.

Very neat and clean. Only downside is the location which is very close to the N2 with the traffic, but unfortunately they can't do anything about it. There is also not enough parking if the place is fully booked, unless you want to park off the street.

The accommodation was nice, the room was well furnished and in good condition.

Unfortunate that this prime spot is located next to the N2 with a lot of traffic noice, which is a bit disturbing. The staff is friendly which made me feel welcome.

Raserig.

Baie raserige omgewing, veral in die feesseisoen. Miskien is dit beter as 'n groep mense saam al die kamers uitbespreek, want anders hou die ander gaste jou tot laat wakker en raas weer vroegoggend. Badkamer was ook nie 100% skoon nie.

Noisy.

Very noisy environment, especially in the festival season. Maybe it's better if a group of people book all the rooms together, because otherwise the other guests will keep you up late and make noise again in the early morning. Bathroom was also not 100% clean.

Goed ingerig, netjies en voldoen aan jonk en oud se behoeftes.

Ek het die Knysna N2 Lodge namens my ouers bespreek en hulle was mal daaroor. Hulle het elke oomblik geniet en kon nie uitgepraat raak oor die feit dat dit naby alles was nie. Die eienaar en personeel was baie vriendelik en hulle het baie gemaklik en tuis gevoel. Hulle sal dit beslis aanbeveel en sal weer teruggaan.

I booked the Knysna N2 Lodge on behalf of my parents and they loved it. They enjoyed every moment and couldn't get enough of the fact that it was close to everything. The owner and staff were very friendly and they felt very comfortable and at home. They will definitely recommend it and will go back again.

Nie wat ek verwag het nie.

Die plek is nie regtig in stand gehou en was glad nie netjies met ons aankoms. Eers nadat ons gekal het was die plek bietjie opgeruim veral die communal leefarea. Die opsigter het haar bes probeer maar die eienaar sal moet beter na die plek kyk. Ons moes 'n week bly maar het sommer na 2 dae vertrek.

Not what I expected.

The place was not really maintained and was not tidy at all when we arrived. Only after we called was the place a bit tidied up, especially the communal living area. The caretaker tried her best but the owner will have to take a better look at the place. We were supposed to stay a week but just left after 2 days.

Knysna N2 Lodge 's response

Thank you for the feedback.

However when Mr and Mrs Geldenhuys arrived late afternoon they did not like the unit they had booked as stairs are involved. Mrs Geldenhuys's mother could not manage the steps. We went out of our way and moved other guests around to accommodate them on the ground floor. There were dishes in the basin on their arrival which we tidied up as soon as we were able.

We take note of all the points mentioned and we are continually working on the lodge to improve.

Ek stel voor dat as die reisiger ouer is of baie bagasie het dat hulle op die grondvloer bly.

Dit was lekker, maar het beter verwag.

Die plek was heel gerieflik alhoewel 'n klein yskassie binne die kamers beter sal werk as die gemeenskaplike kombuis. Nie almal is ewe gemaklik om 'n kombuis te deel nie. Die inligting op die webtuiste is ook nie die waarheid nie. Die plek het nie kapasiteit vir 80 nie. Die WiFi was darem gratis alhoewel dit nie gewerk het nie. Dit is 'n plek om te slaap en te ry die volgende dag, nie om te bly vir 'n paar dae nie.

It was nice, but expected better.

The place was very comfortable although a small bar fridge inside the rooms would work better than the communal kitchen. Not everyone is equally comfortable sharing a kitchen. The information on the website is also not the truth. The place does not have capacity for 80. At least the WiFi was free although it didn't work. This is a place to sleep and drive the next day, not to stay for a few days.

Die kamer was nie stil nie, die mure was papierdun en daar is geen privaatheid nie.

Ons was gegroet deur ’n gasvrou in nagklere. Sy het vir ons die kamer gewys, wat nie die kamer is wat ons bespreek het nie. Ons was onder die indruk dat ons twee aparte kamers bespreek het, maar dit was nie so nie. Ons het met die eienaar gepraat en sy het toe vir ons twee kamers gegee. Toe ons opgaan op uit te pak, was daar ’n man wat skurwe materiaal lê en kyk het in die openbaar. Ons het nie veilig gevoel nie en het onmiddellik ander verblyf gereël en een aand se geld terug geëis.

The room was not quiet, the walls were paper thin and there was no privacy.

We were greeted by a hostess in night clothes. She showed us the room, which is not the room we booked. We were under the impression that we had booked two separate rooms, but this was not the case. We spoke to the owner and she then gave us two rooms. When we went up to unpack, there was a man laying and looking at shabby material in public. We did not feel safe and immediately arranged other accommodation and demanded one night's money back.
