Guest Impressions

Hideaway Guest House 8th November 2012

""Perfect location for investigating Knysna and the surrounding area. Colleen and Cecil were great hosts - full of advice, recommendations and all delivered with great humour. A lovely breakfast too - the best boiled eggs! The room was spacious, nicely decorated and the bed an excellent size. Pretty views of lagoon and easy to find. We will return!""
