Very clean, very comfortable property. Great hosts! The facilities provided in room are great. The property is also located at a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood. There is a shopping complex right opposite the property, which allows for snack and food shopping. Also very close to the Robberg Hiking Trail, which is a must do, if you’re ever in this part of the country. Honey is also an amazing host. Great for the best belly rubs!

The property was phenomenal and extremely clean. The host was gracious and made us feel welcome. Additionally, she gave us multiple recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The apartment had great details which made it feel like a real home. I would stay there again!

Extraordinary! A special accommodation with the luxury of a hotel but the personal flair of an Airbnb. We felt very welcome! Unfortunately we only had one night but we would definitely come back. The beautiful garden, which has been put together with so much love, is worth a stroll.

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.

Great location away from the busy traffic, but not so far from N2 highway. Great host who went out of her way to allow us to do a late check in way after their cut-off time. Big room for family and facilities well looked after, had a great breakfast also part of the package. Great service overall and quite relaxing environment.

The facility and setup was awesome. Very relaxed and calm environment. The hosts (Madeline and her husband) were fantastic. She made great recommendations for family cafes and restaurants. My kids loved all of them. The guest house is in a quiet and beautiful area. But at the same time it is a very short drive to everything (shopping, restaurants, etc.). Would definitely recommend Avo&Oak if you are staying at George.

Dirk and Christoph are wonderful hosts. Rooms are spacious and the guesthouse is surrounded by a beautiful garden right above a quiet beach. Their home-made breakfast was incredible- definitely the best we had on the garden route!

Beautiful area with ocean view. The place is spotlessly clean with spacious rooms. Breakfast was amazing and great host with lovely staff. Nice restaurants close by and easy to explore Knysna and surrounding areas. Highly recommend Brenton on the Rocks Guest House.
