    We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.

    Apartment was beautiful and well equipped. Details of loadshedding made very clear. Faith was a great host and met us on arrival at the entrance to the quays. Secure parking underneath with direct access to the flat via stairs. Easy walk to the restaurants and shops, short drive to some lovely beaches. Bedroom faced away from the quays so was quiet

    Lauren was great host, always on top of her communication and enjoyed her recommendations about area. I loved the place. It was quiet, great for resting and a short distance to town and harbor. The bonus has to be the inverter... Loadshedding was never a problem.
