"The most imaginative accommodation in the town centre has ten self-contained en-suite timber lodges arranged around a beautiful indigenous courtyard garden, creating a magically quiet realm in the middle of the main drag.

Highly recommended."

The hosts speak English, German, Dutch and Russian."

"If you want to be in the heart of Knysna, Inyathi offers affordable, tasteful rooms with a great feeling of privacy even though it's just off the busy main road. Innovatively laid out around a green courtyard, many of the double-bedded timber cabins feature beautiful stained-glass windows, and each has a luxurious slipper bathtub. Rooms are small but cute, decorated with an African theme, and come equipped with tea-and coffee making facilities (...)"
