The hospitality from the owners - Johan & Elizma was super. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. 3 of our group were also celebrating birthdays & Elizma provided a lovely cake. The breakfast spread was just amazing. Location was amazing. I wish we could have spent some more time here. Definitely staying here when we return.

We stayed at Lazy Lion for two nights. The setup was really comfortable and the host made it an incredible experience. They shared their insights on Knysna and South Africa and helped us refine our itenary for better. Interior was very interesting and the room was perfect with an amazing view of “Two Heads”. We loved our morning and evening teas on the balcony. The Breakfast menu was thoughtful of our vegan lifestyle. My wife became a full fan of their home prepared granola.

10/10, what an amazing hotel. Besides the friendliness of the owner, she knows what luxury is and has eye for detail. We felt like kings and queens during our stay. The other staff members are also amazing, we were surprised by how clean and organised the rooms were after every cleaning. Definitely a place where we would return.

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.

This is the perfect Guesthouse in Stellenbosch with what has to be the best breakfast in all of South Africa. The rooms are charming, well-decorated and with everything you could possibly need. John is a wonderful host and he made my group feel very special. Amazing value for your money. Even if you don't like wine, come to Stellenbosch just so you can stay at Van der Stel Manor.
