Very nice hosts that are making your holiday as relaxed as possible with a home away from home! Great tips, perfect breakfast service in the morning, and even new flowers every day! The rooms contains everything you ever need if you want to cook yourself, are spacious and the beds are comfy. The pool, trampoline and pets made the stay for our kids very enjoyable!

    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.
