Hotels near Shopping Areas in Garden Route, Western Cape

"Been to Knysna now on many times, stayed in various types of accommodation within the town, very impressed with this hotel, ideal for walking around town, the marina and it's location is great, ideal for walking to many of the towns restaurants' and bars. Would certainly recommend this hotel. Staff were really helpful, breakfast was fine although there are many cafe's around the hotel should one want any alternative breakfast, although what we had was fine."

"The rooms are lovely and purposefully quirky and the staff were absolutely the best. We arrived late, due to some travel difficulties, and were tired and hungry. They couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful. "

"Nice place, cheap and walking distance to resturants and shops"

"I was looking forward to wonderful weekend away but the hotel just does not live up to its pictures, maybe it did 10 years ago. The hotel needs a serious refurb as well as the grounds of the hotel. The pool is definitely not this clean and blue as in the pictures anymore - it needs a paint job and a proper clean. The bed I slept in made such a noise when you moved, it was terrible. The carpets were so marked, it was gross. The whole experience staying at the hotel freaked me out and I wont be...

"Location is great, place has a great view, pity as it was winter because the pool looked inviting. Breakfast was very good, plenty of choice, we would stay again. Pleased we didn’t just drive past the area. "

"The rooms are separated from the reception and the parking lot. Must walk 3 blocks. As you enter the building, you feel you are entering a jail and feel terribly insecure. We got locked inside the room and had to trow keys throught the window to someone who can enter and open the door. If there is no space in the parking lot, must leave the car in the street and the security officer says it is not safe at all"

"Beautiful hotel in a central location with a wonderful restaurant. Staff was very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Bayview."
