70 guests' feedbackWas great, very good location and will use it again in the future.
Very nice and clean, well organized, had a good stay.
Ideal place to relax and recharge. Everything needed was there. Beautiful layout and setting. Close to town center but far enough from all the noise.
Lovely views, comfortable, and a perfect spot for a quick stay.
It was very stuffy, but there is a fan in place. The bathroom is a bit neat, but if you turn carefully you won't bump into anything. The stairs were bad, so travel sparingly or you will die. I was very well received and helped in Afrikaans. I honestly can't complain about anything at Protea Guest House. The WiFi is strong, so remember a tablet or laptop for Netflix. The photos are 100% as they appear, even where the fan stands.
Very nice stay in the cottage for 10 days. Lovely quiet and beautiful surroundings. The cottage has everything needed for self-catering purposes. The access via silences and stairs can be a challenge if heavy luggage is involved. Ask for help.
It was fine. Duvet did not fit cover. Towels extremely thin. Communication poor (they must have got my cell phone number wrong as I never got the WhatsApp they claim to have sent me). One can at least get a small 250ml of milk for coffee. Creamer alone is not really acceptable.
Solo female traveller, a quick weekend trip to explore Knysna and surrounds.
The unit had everything one could possibly need. Beautiful view, beautiful grounds, peaceful environment, friendly reception. Parking for vehicles is unfortunately not behind a security gate. The gate to the units is also not locked.
Nice stay. Nice view.
So calm. Such a nice and beautiful view of the lagoon! Better than pictures.
Protea Guest House's owners are very friendly. The house is private, neat and peaceful.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Protea Guest House. It was clean and comfortable with a lovely view and well appointed with all that we needed. Very central too.
The bathroom is a bit cramped.
Four guests and one couch, sat like four little birds in a row. The floor slopes, so does the stove. The place was clean, but old and in need of some TLC. Two hot showers, but the rest lukewarm. The man who greeted us was lovely, no problems with the accommodation per se. We had a long wheel base car and had to park in the tiny spots with a portion of the car jutting into the street. Not fun in the morning when construction vehicles started coming up the road. When we asked the host if we could park in the driveway, we were told rather shortly not to.
Even if it was raining, the quietness of the town and overall cleanliness was great.
My bookings never disappoint. So nice to receive another service in South Africa that gives so much value for money and is so reliable. As a single woman, I feel safe with you. Thank you very, very much!
It was wonderful to enjoy breakfast on my own private deck. The path to the cottage is quite steep, but you enjoy the scenery while walking leisurely.
The accommodation is very nice and clean. Staff members are very friendly and helpful. Something which can improve is maybe a designated braai facility.
The reception was friendly, the atmosphere peaceful and relaxing. Breakfast is served at the residence and it is just peaceful to enjoy it in silence. Very nice stay in the almost forest.
Very nice stay thank you.
The guest house is spacious and very peaceful. Breakfast was on time and nice to sit outside and admire the beautiful landscape. Friendly reception.
The people are nice, the place is neat and they provide what they promise to. Winters are cold in a log home, but they're prepared for it. I really enjoyed the stay there.
A beautiful view with good service and warm hearts!
Reception and service were friendly. View beautiful. Would have preferred yogurt with morning muesli and breakfast. Bathroom with shower is very small but room with open plan kitchen part is quite large. Parking on the street feels a bit unsafe to us but understand that it is probably not always possible to park behind a locked gate. Leaks near waterfront.
Very nice stay and the breakfast is top notch!
Very pleasant, peaceful atmosphere. Breakfast delicious. Friendly service.
The room was clean and tidy and very basic, but the breakfast was not good at all.
The rooms, the food, the hospitality and everything that comes with it was worth every cent. The rooms are clean and neat every day and there is everything you could need.
Had a great stay, even forgot an item which they were willing to post. The breakfast was very nice and it's very cute how they come to serve it at your house. Will stay there again.
Great place to relax at for one night. Perfect location, friendly people, stunning chalets. Very relaxing atmosphere. Only thing missing was DStv and WiFi. Except for that, everything is perfect.
Feel free to see the stars.
Very lovely owner. Delicious breakfast. View and nature is beautiful. Lovely peace and quiet. Bedding and towels are clean and are changed every day.
Had a good stay.
My mother and I probably chose the coldest days of the year to visit Protea House. The electric blankets on the beds were wonderful and the oil heater was very needed. Everything was neat and clean and the host went out of her way to ensure our comfort. Thanks Adri!
Was a lovely break for the weekend. Located close to the town center and ideal for a place just to rest your head. Nice views.
Very nice view and very friendly welcome.
Apart from the beautiful view and clean towels, the rest is worn for the price you pay.
Very friendly owner and delicious breakfast. The bathroom is very small. The house smells of mould and people held a party on our veranda the first night. Spiders and webs everywhere. Cupboards and drawers with kitchen equipment were very dirty. Veranda with nice view.
We really enjoyed our stay at Protea Guest House, it was great! The people of Protea Guest House were very helpful and friendly. Want to say a big thank you to Adri and her team.
It was a lovely experience. The breakfast on the balcony is a hit. The bathroom is a bit neat, but perfect for a short-term stay. We were warmly and kindly received. It must have been a nice visit!
Fantastic, clean place and value for money. Really lovely people with hearts of gold.
We had a lovely stay, great cottage and will certainly recommend this. View is beautiful. Area convenient and close to everything. Thanks to Adri for keeping up such a lovely place! Other reviews rave about breakfast on the deck and may set an unrealistic expectation: a basic breakfast is delivered and not "pre table-set", so be prepared to do your own setting, inside or outside, depending on weather. Clean and comfortable! A place to return to for sure! Lovely combination of B&B and self-catering.
Very quiet and peaceful area. The view is especially beautiful early in the morning. Great sleep and breakfast was amazing. I will definitely use Protea Guest House again.
They can tighten up security a lot: no security gates etc. not. The house just above us was also broken into while we were staying there.
Neat, not too fancy, furniture just a bit old, but generally cute and tidy. Room spacious and comfortably equipped. Price not too expensive for what you get.
A very nice view and very comfortable unit. Delicious breakfast!
Very nice view, quiet and peaceful but still 2 minutes from everything. Breakfast was very nice and the people are very friendly. Thanks for the aunt's advice about the walking route.
Friendly reception. The porch has a beautiful view. Breakfast was ample and neatly served. Our laundry is done. Good service. We would definitely recommend this cottage to visit. When we come back to Africa, we are again in Protea Guest House. (Return of foreign gas)
Thank you Adri for you and your staff's hospitality, kindness. We had a great time, delicious breakfasts, very peaceful with a beautiful view of Loerie's stoep.
Awesome place to stay.
Visited Protea Guesthouse for our honeymoon. The hostess was friendly and very helpful. The breakfast on the platform was a highlight! Will definitely visit again...
Great, excellent
Although there was WiFi, it was not accessible in the cottage. Our room was not cleaned one of the days. Otherwise it was fun!
Nice place to stay to visit the area. Breakfast was nicely done, on the deck.
Located in what my wife and I experienced as a fairly quiet neighborhood. Safe, neat and clean, even if the decor is of a slightly older style. The highlight was the breakfast on our own private deck, all fresh to enjoy without the hustle and bustle of other people. Can recommend it for the nice seclusion it offers.
Unit was made clean and tidy every day. View of lagoon was nice. Always breakfast on time.
Very nice stay - nice breakfast served on our balcony. Clean and tidy!
I can recommend the guesthouse. The hostess was very friendly and we enjoyed the stay very much.
We had a great stay! Breakfast was delicious and people hospitable. Maybe just safer parking.
Will definitely be back and recommend Protea Guest House! Wonderful service! Thanks also to LekkeSlaap for the professional way in which our reservation was made! We had a great weekend! Thank you very, very much!
The porch with its view is beautiful!
Friendly reception. Silver clean unit as well as bedding. Breakfast was delicious. The weather was unpleasant, but the electric blanket made up for it. Thank you very much again.
Great stay and lovely lady, Adri, thank you very much!
Excellent! Clean with fantastic views, a little piece of Eden within a city.
Nice stay in peaceful surroundings.
We loved the view! Very well equipped, just maybe better toilet paper? Great value for money.
Nice place, but some birds were quite loud in the night. The rooms were a little bit old-fashioned with the furnishings, and the fridge was a little bit noisy. Other than that, a good getaway in Knysna.
We had a very nice stay. The surroundings are breathtaking, and the accommodation clean and tidy. We got a friendly reception and the service is great. Parking and the small shower are the only negatives.
What a magical place to break away to, with one's partner.
