Dis lekker uit op die dek en tussen die bome.

Dit was erg bedompig, maar daar is 'n waaier in plek. Die badkamer is bietjie knap, maar as jy mooi draai sal jy niks stamp nie. Die trapppe was erg, so reis maar met min, anders gaan jy jou dood drae. Ek is baie goed ontvang en lekker in Afrikaans gehelp. Ek kan eerlikwaar nie kerm oor iets by Protea Guest House nie. Die WiFi is sterk, so onthou 'n tablet of laptop vir Netflix. Die fotos is 100% soos dit lyk, selfs waar die waaier staan.

It's nice out on the deck and among the trees.

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.

Baie gerieflik ingerig. Pragtige terrein.

Die eenheid het alles gehad wat 'n mens moontlik kon nodig kry. Pragtige uitsig, pragtige terrein, rustige omgewing, vriendelike ontvangs. Parkering vir voertuie is ongelukkig nie agter 'n veiligheidshek nie. Die hek na die eenhede word ook nie met 'n slot gesluit nie.

Overnight stay on the way home from doing the Otter trail.

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.

Protea Guest House 's response

From the minute these guests checked in we found them to be unfriendly and disrespectful. The first thing they did was to complain and joke about the stairs. I then asked Sandra if they didn't see the stairs when they had booked the place and she said no. I find it completely nonsensical that you book a place and then you expect a place to be how you would like it to be. There are clear pictures and a description of the place on this platform so if you look at the description and the pictures, you would know what you are booking. There is one big couch in the dining room. If you want a couch for every person then you should book more units. Why would you even ask to park in front of a garage with a big 'No Parking' sign and a big traffic cone in front of the entrance? What about cars parked in the garage? The parking spaces provided are big enough and we often get guests who comfortably park their minivans there. We noticed that the driver did not park correctly in the parking bays and we cannot help if someone struggles to park a car. Construction vehicles coming up our road is completely outside of our control, as it would be out of your control if building works are being done in the area where you live. Don't know about a sloping floor and stove.

Heerlike, rustige verblyf in 'n veilige omgewing.

Dit was heerlik om ontbyt te geniet op my eie privaat dek. Die paadjie na die huisie is nogal styl, maar jy geniet die natuurskoon terwyl jy rustig aanstap.

Aangenaam verras, heerlik ontspannend om sommer net op die dek te sit, weg van die wêreld.

Die ontvangs was vriendelik, die atmosfeer rustig en ontspannend. Ontbyt word bedien by die woning en dit is net rustig om dit in die stilte te geniet. Baie lekker gebly in die amperse woud.

Rustige omgewing en mooi uitsig.

Ontvangs en diens was vriendelik. Uitsig pragtig. Sou graag jogurt saam met oggend muesli en ontbyt verkies het. Badkamer met stort is baie klein maar kamer met oopplan-kombuis gedeelte lekke groot. Parkering op straat voel bietjie onveilig vir ons maar verstaan dit is seker nie altyd moontlik vir parkering agter 'n geslote hek. Lekke naby waterfront.

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.

Protea Guest House 's response

Hierdie persoon was van die begin af moeilik, toe sy bespreek het, het sy gesê hulle is op wittebrood en wat gaan ek daar omtrent doen. Toe het ek geantwoord ek kan blomme en sjampanje in die kamer sit, maar die dame het geweier. Ek het in al die jare nog nooit iemand gekry wat sê die eenhede is vuil nie. Inteendeel, hoor ons altyd hoe besonder skoon dit is. Daar is geen spinnerakke in die eenhede nie. Ons is baie bedag daarop want, die eenhede is 'n bietjie in die bos en veral die mense van oorsee sal beangs wees as daar so iets is. Dat mense in die nag op hulle dek kom partytjie hou het is nie waar nie. Hierdie erf lê teen die skuinste en klank trek baie gou baie vêr. Ek het met die mense voor hulle gepraat wie se hoof-slaapkamer venster naby hulle dek is waar die partyjie sou wees. Hulle het niks gehoor nie inteendeel gesê hoe stil en rustig dit hier is. Die mense direk langs hulle het niks gehoor nie. Haar man wat langs haar gelê het, het ook niks gehoor nie. Toe sy die volgende oggend die storie vir my kom vertel, toe het haar man wat agter haar gestaan het, vir my seun 'n snaakse gesig getrek as of sy vrou nonsies praat. Die hele probleem is sy was verskriklik bang om in daardie eenheid te slaap omdat dit so in die bos is met die lagoon uitsig van voor. Al die mense is mal daaroor. Ek het, net voor hulle, Duitsers gehad wat vir 3 dae gebly het en nog 2 dae wou bly omdat dit vir hulle so speiaal is, maar ek was reed vol bespreek en kon hulle nie help nie. Maak maar julle eie gevolgtrekking.

Gerieflik met 'n onbeskryflike uitsig.

Ek en my ma het seker die koudste 3 dae van die jaar gekies om daar by Protea House te gaan kuier. Die elektriese komberse op die beddens was wonderlik en die olieverwarmer onmisbaar. Alles was netjies en skoon met 'n gasvrou wat uit haar pad gegaan het om ons gerief te verseker. Baie dankie Adri!

Comfortable with an amazing view.

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!

Stay was great and the setting and view is perfect. Lovely, spacious, clean cottage. Breakfast basic, yet enough. Will definitely go again!

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.

Netjies en skoon.

Geleë in wat ek en my vrou as 'n taamlike rustige buurt ervaar het. Veilig, netjies en skoon, al is die dekor van 'n bietjie ouer styl. Die hoogtepunt was die ontbyt op ons eie private dek, alles kraakvars om te geniet sonder die gewemel van ander mense. Kan dit aanbeveel vir die lekker afsondering wat dit bied.

Neat and clean.

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.

A little bit old-fashioned but great

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.
