I had an incredible stay at the Turbine Hotel & Spa. The unique setting in a converted power station was both fascinating and charming. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views of the marina. The staff was exceptionally friendly and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. The on-site spa provided a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, perfect after a day of exploring. The dining options were superb, with a delicious variety of dishes to choose from. Overall, a memorable and delightful stay. Highly recommended!

Everything was perfect. The boat trip was a plus. We were given an upgrade and stayed in a huge bedroom I front of the lake. The staff and Sandy made all the efforts for us to have the best experience during our short stay.

The staff were absolutely fantastic. My parents were staying here and when there was a medical emergency the staff, particularly the two receptionists on duty that evening and the security guard, were super helpful and the manager even personally brought them home from the hospital at around 2am. The staff went above and beyond! Room and facilities were nice and modern. Breakfasts were good. Location relative to main Knysna area is perfect. Many things in walking distance.

    It was breathtakingly beautiful.

    It was breathtakingly beautiful. Great restaurants & we loved being so close to the water & all the activities. We loved the featherbed boat trip We ate at Drydock & 34 degrees within walking distance from our accommodation. We went walking in the forest about 6 kms away. Knysna has everything. Spectacular views, beautiful beaches. Great restaurants and lovely forest trails.

    We really enjoyed our time in Knysna, we had several activities planned and these were all fantastic. The restaurants in the tare great, there are loads of options. The town itself is quite busy and buzzing, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday this might not be the best option.

    I have visited Knysna many times, usually during the oyster festival doing the cycle tour. I always enjoyed being there. Unfortunately the Knysna municipality seems to be unable to keep the condition of the roads in an acceptable condition (in line with the general upkeep of infrastructure in most municipalities). Fortunately the food and landscape is still marvelous

    Knysna scenery is amazing, though would stay outside of Knysna when in the area again as prices for restuarants were very high. If you are in Knysna then visit the Knysna Elephant Park, here there is value for money and its supports the efforts of the park and its a wonderful experience.

    A winter trip to Knysna offers the opportunity to do some exploring and a lot of recharging. Exploring and eating our way around the area - going to the Heads Viewpoint, exploring Belvidere and the views to Brenton on Sea. Last year Knysna was also our base to explore Plett, Sedgefield and other areas. This year we spent more time in Knysna and more time relaxing too.

    We arrived at the Premier hotel Knysna shortly before lunch and we were greeted by super friendly and helpful staff. We were too early for check in, but we relaxed at the pool with drinks, entertainment (bingo!) and an awesome pool-side lunch. We immediately felt like we were finally on holiday. The room was massive, the food was amazing and the staff were incredibly attentive. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone searching for comfort, style and friendly staff. Breakfast was amazing and fresh.
