Offering an outdoor pool and a cosy lounge and bar, Parkes Manor is a classic, historical house located within 2 km from the Knysna Waterfront.

This inn is perfection! The facilities are lovely, the proprietors were friendly and helpful - they even upgraded us to lovely room with a view of the water! The breakfast was exceptional with a large variety of items, including a menu with hot cooked items. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was beautiful with nice products. We received a welcome drink upon arrival. There is a cozy sitting room with a fireplace for relaxing after a full day of fun. The wharf area with shops and restaurants is about a 5 minute walk.

Knysna Pearl View Guest House, hotel in Knysna

Boasting garden views, Knysna Pearl View Guest House offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a bar, around a few steps from Knysna Heads.

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.
