What an incredible decoration. The property is so pretty with all the turbines from the days the hotel was a power station, mixed with modern paintings and what not. Really adds to the atmosphere. It's connected to a gastropub which was very convenient in the evening because we were tired and didn't even have to leave the property to have a nice burger and beers(plus live music). The breakfast is amazing, I got myself a delicious eggs benedict with smoked salmon. There was loadshedding but the hotel honors its past and has a generator so we were not left in the dark. Finally, loved the vibe in Thesen Island, the canals, the calm streets, etc.

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!

Knysna is a beautiful town and a highlight in the Garden Route! A must to visit is the waterfront area. We had a fantastic trip on a yacht to the Heads at sunset with Springtide! The restaurants at the Waterfront are the best in town. We loved 34 Degrees South and Drydock Company. A visit to the Heads is a highlight. Knysna is surrounded with beautiful forest and there are plenty walks to choose from.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination.

Knysna is a beautiful town and Holiday Destination. There are alot of attractions within close driving distance to visit i.e. Knysna Elephant Park, Monkey Sanctuary, etc. There are also alot of places to visit and explore in Knysna. We needed more time to explore everything, We will definitely visit Knysna again. Knysna and the surrounds are well taken care of and there was no littter that I can think of. The road going out to the heads is in desperate need of resurfacing. We loved the lookout points and scenery at the Knysna Heads. The Italian restaurant Piza'E Vino at the Heads was fantastic, Blend was also great.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful.

Knysna’s geography is beautiful. It is built alongside and in places in a massive lagoon. There are alot of activities eg walking, scenic drives, boat trips, golf courses etc. The town and its waterfront has a large range of shops and restaurants. Knysna is a must see and visit destination on the Garden Route.

Where to start ? It´s a beautifull and luxurious guesthouse in a quiet residential area with stunning view of the lagoon. The whole place is kept immaculately. But the real reason you shoud definitely stay here are Roeleen and Steve. You couldn´t feel more at home while on holiday. They take excellent care of their guests, can provide you with a wealth of information on things to do, but are above all just lovely and fun people. For us they are reason enough to come back to Knysna.

Breathtaking location, with views of Knysna lagoon, the heads and the open sea. The wooden staircase and restaurant is a charm. I think we had the family room or the larger room, which had lots of space, an open bath and a separate bathroom with a very large shower. The room and property was all 1st class as reflected in the slightly higher price.
