Knysna River Club by First Private Stays
"A 4 star hotel should have a restaurant or be very well maintained. This facility had neither. There is no restaurant close by and the facilities are sub standard. The river is very polluted. Towels were dirty and the unit felt unsecure as it was directly on a thorough-fare."
