    Nothing comes to mind.

    Probably the most comprehensively provided for accommodation my wife and I have stayed in for many years - and we travel a lot! The owner has anticipated just about any need a guest may wish to have. Ease of access, Friendly staff, clean and beautiful shower with strong hot water, Lifesize mirror, Lovely balcony overlooking the lagoon and unobstructed view of the Knysna Heads, Close to access roads leading to supermarket & liquor store, but sufficiently distanced so that traffic isn't a bother, lovely pool with loungers, small kitchen but so well planned (with fridge to hold 2 bottles of wine, 2l Coke, 1,5l Sparkling water, 2l fruit juice and groceries - 2plate gas stove, microwave, cutlery & crockery in good nick, grounds are kept up. We went back for my birthday weekend, after a stay in Feb. Glad to say the experience was even better. Gem of a place and kudos for the design of the units on the property. Hope it continuous for many years!

    Could use better heating in the rooms.

    We had a nice stay at Abalone Lodges. The place was clean, spacious, and with comfortable beds. The view over the lagoon was a bonus, and the location was convenient for exploring the area. A relaxing and pleasant stay overall.

    Beautiful log cabin with stunning views

    For us it was fine, but parents need to keep their kids' age in mind when booking because of the steps inside the unit. The unit is also not very soundproof - another factor for parents to consider.

    The view from the bedroom and living room is beautiful. Because of the log cabin, the view and the spa bath the unit has a honeymoon feel to it. The unit is equipped fairly well, although I would get a better grater and leave a sponge in the unit to clean dishes more effectively. Key collection and handover was easy. The logde is close to everything. There is a pub just down the road and the closest Spar is a 3min drive. The small terrace is fabulous for having wine outside with a view. All in all an excellent value for money option.

    Everything was great. Maybe a webber braai on the balcony or a door to the back of the chalet may be a bit easier to negotiate when you want to braai. It is a bit of a mission carrying eveything up the steps to the back of the chalet. No 4. I think the other chalets have a back door. Otherwise is is perfect. It's our 2nd stay there and we will definately go back.

    The bathroom is small. Would've loved a shower as well.

    The view from the balcony is fabulous. The access control of the main gate and the lockable trellidoors makes it safe and secured for the guests. The ceiling fan and additional fan helped a lot for the summer days. The bed was comfortable and loved the puffed and extra pillows. The bed linen was clean and fresh. Loved the sparkling clean pool as well. Very peaceful environment that's great for a quiet breakaway. Thanks for a great stay

    The braai could have been placed on a better spot, but other than that everything was good. The curtains could also use a wash.

    The balacony overlooking the lagoon was very nice. The wooden cabins also gives a relaxing holiday feel.

    Lovely cosy cottage. We could braai, enjoyed having an aircon on the very hot day. Comfy bed and lovely views, especially the sunsets. Pool facility too. Self catering adequate for what is needed and provision for things should the dreaded loadshedding hit.Wouldve liked a stand up shower,but that's really nitpicking. Friendly staff and quiet and laid back.
