Crista is the most amazing hostess. Our Land Rover Defender with roof rack was too tall for the garage so she arranged for secure parking just down the road at a friend's place. As we then did not have a car, she offered to drive us to a restaurant and pick us up later. I was not feeling brilliant so she recommended a restaurant that would deliver, 34 degrees South. The food was great and she arrived with plates, cutlery etc as it arrived and we ate out on our balcony looking out at the lovely view. She could not have been more helpful and we really appreciated it. A lovely place to stay and a great location but it is the hospitality and service which we will remember. ##### Deborah Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 11 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Gute Lage für einen Besuch von Knysna ##### Martin Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### andrea 21 Aug 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities B&B fuori mano con una bella vista.

Ronnie and Thelma the hosts could not be more helpful. Our room had a lovely balcony overlooking the lagoon. Breakfast was delicious. We stayed two nights at the South Villa guest house, and wish we could have stayed longer. Ronnie and Thelma, the hosts were very engaging, affable and informative. Ronnie gave us some excellent recommendations for local restaurants and great places to go for a sundowner. Thelma and Ronnie were also available every morning for advice and ideas of where to go and what to see around the beautiful Knysna area. Our room was lovely, the bed comfortable and the location excellent - the Waterfront and the town are within easy walking distance, approx 15 mins I cannot recommend this place highly enough. A very memorable and beautiful place to stay with wonderfully caring hosts. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/563ED8B478CB5DE1F6002703D48C28893311D4F11583230117952.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Vikki Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location, amazing views from the room, very personal touch from the hosts and a very very comfortable stay.

I pride myself in my properties and in my management of them. I understand what it takes to provide quality accommodations. What I experienced at South Villa Guesthouse put me in awe...both in the amenities and in the hospitality! The hosting could not have been more gracious and welcoming, and the facility was pristine and beautifully decorated. The breakfast we were served overlooking the town was, in itself, memorable. I can not give the entire experience a higher commendation and recommendation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jasvinder Kaur 2 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely stay in Knysna Lovely clean guesthouse with comfortable well-furnished rooms.

Die Vermieter haben sic sehr gekümmert. Leider musste man viele Treppen steigen. Vor allem störend war der Fahrzeuglärm der nahegelegenen N2. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Schönes Gästehaus.
