90 guests' feedbackVery pleasant and welcoming.
Very nice stay! Spacious enough, safe area, parking outside in the street (yet safe), friendly reception, all the necessary facilities.
Best, for the price. Tasteful, clean, and friendly.
We had a wonderful stay. The host was very friendly.
We had a great time. Thank you for the hospitality, kindness and thoughtfulness.
Great stay. Clean and tidy.
Amazing! Beautiful, clean and friendly. They have dogs that are very friendly and like to come and say hello. You have to walk through the front door of their house but would never even say people live there because it's so quiet and you never see or hear anyone. Very private in your unit. Lovely place and amazing value for money, would stay there anytime again.
Amazing experience and great value for money! We stayed at Shell's Corner Cottage for 1 night before the Knysna Marathon and could not have asked for anything better! Would recommend!
Stay was wonderful.
Warm welcome from the owner, spacious rooms and attention to detail, like bottled water and milk and biscuits at the coffee station.
Very comfortable bed. Neat and quiet.
We had a great stay, thank you.
Definitely a great stay, perfect for a quick getaway. Received with friendliness and hospitality.
Very peaceful place and good bedding. Kitchen has everything needed with a large braai pan. Will stay there again.
Nice stay, good facilities.
Shell's Corner Cottage is a particularly beautiful place. We had a great stay and received good service from the owner. Will definitely come again. For sure value for money.
I was very pleasant, quiet, and most importantly it was near everything, which made it so much easier to go around. Great place indeed.
Nicest place to stay in Knysna. Will stay there again for sure! The owner is incredibly friendly and goes out of her way to make you feel at home. See you again soon!
Michelle is a truly hospitable hostess. We had a wonderful stay. Only negative point for me personally is that I am a light sleeper and that the street light in front of the house lights up the room, but the shower was e.g. one of the best showers we have experienced.
The room was even more than what we expected. Michelle is such a pleasant host. Went out of her way to make the 1 night stay really comfortable and was so accommodating as we arrived really latein the evening. Would definitely recommend this place for your Knysna stay.
Clean tidy place everything you need.
Very neat and comfortable. A microwave oven would have been nice to heat something up quickly. A little trouble with hot water the last morning. Michelle was not at home, cleaner received us. Didn't meet Chris until the morning after. But otherwise, very nice visit.
Everything was nice and clean. No problems with load shedding. Michelle provided battery lights.
Such a beautiful and clean place. Owner is so hospitable. We will definitely visit again and recommend the place to family and friends. Thank you for the nice visit at Shell's Corner Cottage.
The hostess was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The place was nicely decorated and comfortable. Our teenage daughters enjoyed themselves. Definitely will again.
Friendly hospitable host and comfortable bed.
Perfect for 1 night stay, comfortable, tidy and good location.
The place is very neat with everything you need for a comfortable visit.
Exactly what I expected.
Perfect for a young family, host Michelle went out of her way to make sure we had all we needed. Well equipped kitchen, lovely view of sunset over the Heads from the spacious deck, great value for money.
Very convenient, everything you need is there.
A refreshing stopover on our way to Cape Town. Will recommend it to friends.
We had a comfortable overnight stay and received very friendly service.
The place was friendly and clean. A nice comfortable bed and a hot shower are all I need most of the time and Shell's had this covered. Perhaps a fan in the room would have helped as it was very hot the weekend I stayed.
Hostess received us kindly. The place is very well equipped with everything needed.
Everything was at hand. Would def recommend it.
It was two lovely nights in a spacious accommodation with everything you need at your disposal.
Very conveniently located near the hospital.
We had to park our car in the street. We were provided with a 2-plate stove/oven which was in poor condition. Little provision was made for load-shedding. The hostess met with us and gave us some ideas of places to visit.
Bed in 2nd room is not suitable for long-term overnight stays. Shower which is in bath is difficult to access for elderly/disabled persons or guests with back problems. Bath is high, suggest adding a step.
Felt like we could have stayed longer.
Will definitely use Shell's Corner Cottage again. 5-star accommodation at a very affordable rate.
Fantastic service was received and the people there are incredibly friendly. I would gladly reach out and book a stay there again.
Shell's Corner was a delight to arrive at after a long day of travelling. Michelle was friendly and welcoming, the flat was wonderfully clean and the bed was the best we slept in during our trip across our country. I would recommend it to everyone.
Our stay at the shell cottage was a relaxing and peaceful overnight stay in the budget accommodation, we enjoyed the tranquility and serene surroundings, perfectly centrally located and a wonderful host, Michelle was friendly & made us feel comfortable and at home, we will definitely recommend and stay over again a littler long next time.
The owner was very concerned and helpful and friendly, we really enjoyed our stay.
Fantastic environment! Full of exciting adventures, so many places to see.
The accommodation was like our second home. Our children (1 and almost 3) could move and play freely, we could relax by the fire. The environment is very quiet and safe. Perfect for a family getaway!
The location was perfect. We were so well received and immediately felt welcome. Must mention that the king bed was out of this world. Will definitely use this accommodation again. Added originally booked for two nights but unfortunately had to cancel one night. Canceled in the same week and there was absolutely no hesitation from owner.
I intend to use Shell's Corner Cottage again in the future.
Lovely cottage with beautiful decor and attention to detail. Friendly reception by the hostess Michelle. Bottled water, coffee facilities, as well as a pack of Oreos on the bed were a bonus and great treat. Clean, tidy and practical! Thank you! Would definitely recommend!
Excellent service, hospitality, I felt very much at home.
We had great overnight stop in the Budget Room.
We were dead tired when we got there, the hostess immediately helped us and showed us to our clean room with the most beautiful bathroom. The room also had its own balcony where we came to drink coffee in the morning. Will recommend.
It's ideal for two people on holiday. The owner of the place is very friendly and made us feel very much at home. We had a very nice stay.
Michelle made us feel at home away from home, thank you. I will recommend Shell's Corner Cottage 100%.
Th hosts waa very friendly and accommodating, room was spacious and beautifully set out, they even offered me to park in locked garage, just excellent.
Delicious and affordable vacation spot. Clean and tidy with a friendly hostess.
Nice and spacious, tidy and Michelle is very hospitable. We enjoyed the stay very much.
Very hospitable, waited until we got there late, backup for loadshedding. Floor in bathroom wet and slippery when shower used, because the bathroom is so small.
Was exactly what we needed.
The place is really great to stay at. Owner is very friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the budget-stay option. Driveway parking. Lovely room with en-suite bathroom, coffee making facilities, TV with Netflix and Wi-Fi, own section of the balcony. Very cozy. Good value for money. Will be back again.
The surrounding properties dogs were really annoying most of the time.
The place was easy to find. Michelle was a great host and kind enough to wait for our late arrival. The place was neat, looks updated and was well-equipped. The water bottles (hot and cold) were a nice touch. No water views but close, a matter of minutes. YouTube, Netflix, plenty of cupboard storage, also loved the picnic table outside. Will be back or recommend.
However, what we did experience was beautiful and good. Reception was friendly and everything was clean, tidy and sufficient. The hostess even offered their garage for parking as our car was loaded with durable equipment. Thank you very much for that.
Very clean house, the only thing that bothered us was how the shower was built. It makes the entire bathroom floor wet and is not very practical. Also, unfortunately, did not have warm water on our first night there. The host was very friendly. Overall good stay.
Very nice, quiet and clean.
Hostess very friendly and made us feel very welcome and at home.
The area was filled with tranquility, I could charge my inner power during this challenging pandemic.
Michelle and Chris are two of the kindest people on this earth. Their "home away from home" place will only go from strength to strength because of that good attitude.
We enjoyed the big room and cute kitchen, bathroom and wonderful little table outside for nice tea drinking visits.
Bedroom perfect for my needs. Nice spacious patio to take advantage of natural beauty. Beautiful dogs. Bathroom nice and spacious.
The cleanliness and nice smell of the place was perfect. You feel at home and she is so friendly and made us feel so at home.
Friendly, helpful, clean, tidy and peaceful.
Friendly hostess. Place is well maintained.
Shell's Corner is really home away from home, with all the comforts of home at your fingertips. The cottage is beautiful, clean and safe, situated in a quiet neighbourhood, only a 5 minute drive from town, shops and restaurants and waterfront.
Michelle was very friendly and helpful. Will visit again. Thank you very much.
Michelle went out of her way to accommodate our needs and make us very welcome.
No parking for your car.
I would recommend Shell's Corner Cottage to anyone looking for a stay-over in Knysna.
Our highlight of the cottage was the outside area. We could have a nice barbecue outside.
It is a very beautiful place.
The DStv never worked so we only had Netflix.
Very cute, clean, neat and modern. Very nice amenities. Enjoy our own cocktail in the garden.
The living place/room is very nice, clean and tidy, but it is not well equipped for self-catering, we had to use the house's kitchen. There is a cottage with a fridge, stove etc. but other guests stayed there. The shower in the bathtub is not convenient for older people.
Was beyond delicious!
Nice, clean, friendly owner, but hot during the day! We had a very nice stay there. The place was clean. We got a little hot, but there was a fan.
Can really recommend Shell's Corner. Very good location. Friendly and very hospitable people.
Enjoyed the Netflix.
It's a quiet and tranquil area. The peole are friendly and helpful. It's the ideal place for a getaway away from your busy life.
