The property was phenomenal and extremely clean. The host was gracious and made us feel welcome. Additionally, she gave us multiple recommendations on things to do and places to eat. The apartment had great details which made it feel like a real home. I would stay there again!

We spend 2 weeks in several accommodations and this was by far the best. Such lovely people running it and the house had a very relax atmosphere. Very spacious room and lobby. Breakfast was great with almost everything home made. Nice choice of drinks and local gins for the afternoon and evening.

    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.
