Uitstekende ligging, vriendelike personeel en eienaars.

Gillian het my akkommodeer aangesien ek dag vroeër arriveer het, daar was groter kamer beskikbaar aangesien die volgende nag se verbly reeds gereël was. Ek was teleurgesteld met onverwagte koste van R440 wat nie verduidelik was nie.

Gillian accommodated me as I arrived a day earlier, there was a bigger room available as the next night's stay was already arranged. I was disappointed with an unexpected charge of R440 that was not explained.

Phoenix Lodge and Waterside Accommodation 's response

Good morning,

We were happy to be able to accommodate you and your husband for the extra night. You were shown the room that you had booked for the next night and you requested an upgrade from a standard room to a luxury room. The increase in rate was discussed with you and your husband and the rate also included breakfast. We had made it perfectly clear that there are different rates for different room types, some with breakfast, some without, so we can only apologise if you did not understand this. The invoice also stated this clearly.

Kind regards,
Gillian

Ongemaklik.

Koningin kamer is redelik klein en daar is geen vensters in die badkamer nie. Die waaier in die badkamer raas en voertuie wat verbyry maak baie lawaai naby aan die kamer. Die oprit is baie mooi, maar die parkeerplek is ongemaklik. Daar is 'n baie mooi braai-area waar jy ook kan rook met 'n pragtige uitsig as jy 'n roker is. Ek sal dit slegs aanbeveel as jy van plan is om uit te eet en net 'n slaapplek soek. Die kroegyskassie is baie klein.

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

Uncomfortable.

Queen room is quite small and there are no windows in the bathroom. The fan in the bathroom is noisy and vehicles passing by make a lot of noise close to the room. The driveway is very nice, but the parking lot is awkward. There is a very nice braai area where you can also smoke with a beautiful view if you are a smoker. I would only recommend this if you plan to eat out and are just looking for a place to sleep. The bar fridge is very small.

Phoenix Lodge and Waterside Accommodation 's response

Wow, most people only turn on the fan/light when they use the bathroom. They certainly don't keep it on during the night. The room that you stayed in is larger than most queen rooms, and the bar fridge is a bar fridge, as advertised. No guest house includes large fridges in the rooms. The parking area has designated spaces with white lines. We are sorry that you found it difficult to park in the 18 spaces available.

The friendly reception and the neat and clean accommodation can only be complimented. The view from the bedroom overlooking the Knysna Heads is to die for. My only complaint is that the meat on the breakfast menu consisted of bacon and pork sausages. Unfortunately, my wife is unable to eat pork, so she could not enjoy her breakfast. Other than that, it was a most enjoyable stay and full marks to the proprietor and his good lady.

Fantasties.

Nadat my kar 6 km buite Knysna gaan staan het op pad terug na Albertinia moes ek dringend 'n nag deurbring in Knysna. Die eienaar het my akkommodasie opgradeer a.g.v. my "ordeal" maar bo en behalwe dit, was die vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid regtig net tops! Het 'n heerlike glasie wyn en goeie geselskap by hul kroegie aangebied en daarna het 'n heerlike warm stort en op die gemaklikste bed geslaap. Lekker digte gordyne het die kamer lekker donker gemaak. Dit was absoluut tops en ek sal vir seker weer daar tuisgaan op my sakereis in daai rigting!

Fantastic.

After my car stopped 6 km outside Knysna on the way back to Albertinia I urgently had to spend a night in Knysna. The owner upgraded my accommodation due to my "ordeal" but on top of that, the kindness and helpfulness were really just tops! Offered a lovely glass of wine and good company at their bar and then had a lovely hot shower and slept on the most comfortable bed. Nice thick curtains made the room nice and dark. It was absolutely great and I will definitely stay there again on my business trip in that direction!

It was a comfortable stay with very clean, comfortable rooms with friendly service.

It is very close to the waterfront which made it convenient. The only problem is that it is very close to the road, and the traffic is very loud during the day. At night, the traffic was much less and I was able to sleep. Thanks for a lovely stay.

A lovely facility with a great view.

The accommodation was lovely, with a great view of the lagoon. It is located conveniently close to town. The breakfast was great and the hosts were very attentive.

Ons verblyf was aangenaam.

Ontvangs was vriendelik en warm. Hulle ontbyt moes ek betaal het, maar die bespreking het ontbyt ingesluit. So ek moes R880 bybetaal nadat ek reeds die bespreking vooruitbetaal het.

Our stay was pleasant.

Reception was friendly and warm. I should have paid for their breakfast, but the reservation included breakfast. So I had to pay an additional R880 after I had already prepaid the reservation.

Dit is was fantasties

Dit is rustig en ons het lekker ontspan. Die eienaars is asemrowend en altyd daar om te help. Die braaigeriewe is 'n wenner en 'n lekker plek vir kuier om die vuur.

Location was the best, just what we were looking for.

Our stay was short but sweet. The only complaint I would have is that the bed was a bit saggy so considering I had a long drive back to CT, my rest was not exactly what I was hoping for.

Very comfortable. The bathroom even had bubble bath and bath salts which you do not normally see.

The Lodge has a restaurant for breakfast lunch and dinner. Food is delicious and well priced. Braai area is in front and has views of the lagoon.

Everything was great.

I particularly liked that the hosts gave us places to go and visit, particularly as the beaches were closed. This helped us a lot, to get to know Knysna and its beauty. The hosts were very friendly and really made us feel at home. What could be worked on, is to have more channels on the TV. Because of the curfew we couldn't stay out past 21:00 and had to watch TV. The movie channels were very limited and there were no sport channels. It would have been great to have sport channels, for a sports fanatic like me.

Phoenix Lodge and Waterside Accommodation 's response

Thank you for your kind words. We are sorry that you didn't mention that you wanted to watch movies whilst you were here. We have a DVD player for the guests and a huge array of DVDs. Also, the sports packages are available for viewing in the restaurant area. Hopefully, you can take advantage of these facilities when next you are in Knysna. Kind regards, Craig and Gillian

Teleurstellend, sal nie weer daar gaan bly nie.

Dit was glad nie lekker nie, die kamer wat gelys was as LUUKS was nie LUUKS nie, en dit was vrek klein, daar was GEEN warm water nie, die kussings was ou pap goed geen mens kan dit gebruik nie, die ligging van die lodge is teen die hoofstraat en niemand noem dit êrens nie. Ons het 2 aande bespreek en betaal maar het ander slaapplek gekry, kon regtig nie nog 'n and daar slaap nie. Die ontbyt was baie lekker.

Disappointing, will not stay there again.

It was not nice at all, the room listed as LUXURY was not LUXURY, and it was damn small, there was NO hot water, the pillows were old squishy stuff no one can use, the location of the lodge is on the main street and nobody mentions it anywhere. We booked and paid for 2 nights but got another place to sleep, really couldn't sleep another night there. The breakfast was very nice.
