St. James of Knysna

WE had the luck that we could stay four nights in this fantastic hotel. The location of the hotel directly at the lagoon is extraordinary. The view from the balcony of our room ofer the lagoon was amaizing. The hosptiality was great. The staff always very helpful and super friendly. We felt better than home ;-) This will be dfeinetly our stay when we come back to Knysna

Lovely place. Everybody is so nice and helpful. Love the complementary boat tour! Some nice restaurants nearby (butterfly blue) Location is great, although you need a car or uber for sightseeing or going out to a restaurant.

The St. James Knysna is a wonderful hotel stay. It is situated on a beautiful waterway, the grounds were well manicured and blooming with flowers, and the pool area was very attractive and well maintained. I stayed for three nights and had three breakfasts, one dinner in the restaurant and I did room service the last two nights because I was tired from day trekking. All of the meals were very good and served by a very courteous and friendly staff. Depending on what your itinerary is, I feel this is very well located in knysna with a lot to do in the surrounding area. I visited the Garden Route’s many attractions for two days and accessed the city of Oudtshoorn for a day from this location. Had a great stay and highly recommend this to anyone staying in Knysna or an adjacent city. The hotel was a short walk from a nice waterfront area with shops and restaurants. Overall, a great stay. Our room had all the amenities we needed, Hair dryer, iron, ironing board, safe, coffee maker with coffee and supplies, robes, slippers, a beautiful balcony seating area, and plenty of plug ins for all devices. The lobby is a very nice place to just sit and read or gaze out at the water. There was also a bar in the lobby area just down the aisle from the front desk. Thank you, St. James for a great three night stay!
