Knysna Log-Inn Hotel, hotel in Knysna

Two of Knysna's most well-known hospitality brands, The Knysna Log-Inn Hotel and Graywood Hotel, have merged.

Buffet breakfast was good, but amount of food on the buffet was allowed to run out. No one seemed to be checking and we had to ask for more sausages and bacon to be laid out. By the time they arrived, I had finished eating. Small thing, but important, to me at least.

    A very chilled place - just very serene place to go.

    A very chilled place - just very serene place to go. It can be a little expensive for the type of food offered in several restaurants - price doesn't really match portion of menu. The people are friendly, there's a few activities to do if you're adventurous. It's a great place to stop-over for a couple of nights and then continue with your journey. The Waterfront is very lovely. I suggest you there. The Mall is also great for shopping - don't get lost though because there's about 4 mall/square areas.

    One town that’s full of adventure around every corner from the heads to the old drift to Brenton on sea to buffalo bay to jubilee creek to the forest to lands end. Just too many wonderful experiences to be had in a vibrant and friendly town! Honestly, the best place.

    If you are planning a trip along the garden route then Knysna is a must visit spot. The views across the lagoon and the Knysna Heads are amazing and so many options for accommodation from camping by the lagoon to 5* hotels. It is also a good base to explore the Eastern end on the garden route right up to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth). There is also a number of fantastic mountain passes to drive up to the Karoo, but make sure you have a good vehicle and a good head for heights. Knysna is fantastic and well worth a visit.

    As a place to stay, Knysna is rather small, and moreover less secure after dark than other places. Knysna and its islands/view points can e.g. easily be visited from Plettenberg where there is much more choice in terms of restaurants. 1 day is more than enough for Knysna.

    The views are magnificent.

    The views are magnificent. The surrounding areas are also very worthy of visits. Plettenburg Bay, Tsitsikamma, Sedgefield and Wilderness are excellent. Something great to do every day! Knysna itself is a little run down and touristy, after all it straddles a motorway (N2), but there are places that are tucked away which are charming.....one goes there however for the views!

    This is a handsome property in Knysna with exceptionally friendly hosts in Ron & Louise. The view of the lagoon and heads from the balcony is spectacular. The rooms are comfortable & well-appointed and the breakfast was great. We recommend this Guesthouse to anyone looking for a stopover in Knysna, whether a 1-nighter or a longer stay. The view alone will bring you back for more!

    Beautiful spacious rooms, lovely furnishing.superb bathroom and patio overlooking Knysna lagoon. Very convenient for exploring the area and the view was stunning. Hosts Marion and Gavin went over and above waiting for our missing luggage and chasing up our change of hire car. We cannot thank them enough. Breakfasts at Waterfront Lodge were excellent.

    This property is first class in all respects. It is spacious, very well-appointed & extremely well-equipped. The beds are excellent. The location is tranquil and secure, yet only a stroll of five minutes from the shops and restaurants on the Knysna Quays Waterfront. The house also has its own integral garage.

    The St. James is a unique and extraordinary hotel in a nice location. The really good breakfast was freshly prepared and served. No dinner option at the moment. But plenty of restaurants around. Very spacious and nicely equipped rooms. Recommend to drive around the lagoon and visit Brenton-on-Sea!

    Good location, despite a very busy main street. It is at close walking distance of Knysna Waterfront with lots of restaurants and bars. Parking for car is big and secured. Hotel and rooms are clean. Breakfast was ok. It is more a hotel catered for groups.
