Knysna Hollow Country Estate

Open app Your location Knysna Hollow Country Estate 5 Welbedacht Ln, Kanonkop, Knysna, 6570 Hotel Maqbool Jamdar 129 points   5 hours ago Spent 2 nights at this hotel ( not sure where the country estate comes from). Rooms not bad in size, plus is the big bathroom with walk in shower and l'Occitane bath accessories which is different from other hotels. Nice location but away from the Knysna waterfront. Quiet location and nice gardens with 2 medium sized pools and small play area. They have padel courts but this must be booked through another company for hire of court and equipment. Downs: Very limited breakfast, buffet style with small selection of scrambled , tomatoes, hash browns NO halal options which is a big negative. Most of the other hotels around here have this and a area where they provide omelettes At this hotel you have to pay extra for an omelette, Really?? If you are looking for a halaal friendly hotel then rather look elsewhere as what you pay is nice for hotel and room but not for food. We usually stay at Fancourt and this place is far from that in terms of experience. Agree that this gives you value for money but the kids wanted additional things for breakfast compared to what was offered. Reminded me of some of the business hotels I've used for work which offer the basics for the business traveller for breakfast. Was worth trying it out but maybe not for us.Lovely lady at reception who i chatted with regarding my concerns and it seems I'm not the only guest who has commented on the food offering.

This must be one of the loveliest places to stay in South Africa, if not the world. Very comfortable with beautiful gardens exceptionally well maintained and good value for money food and wine. We really enjoyed our stay here and will be making a return trip to South Africa and we will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful hotel, the attention to detail here is second to none, a small light brightens the bathroom when you enter at night- such a good idea! Small but thoughtful. Staff are friendly and chatty and made the stay even better. We stayed 5 nights and ate in the hotel three evenings and every meal was good- we wouldn’t normally eat in so often but it was worth it at this hotel. Great area too, surrounded by forests and the lagoon absolutely fabulous. Hiking excellent as was the Friday night market held a few minutes walk from the hotel. Felt safe and relaxed and comfortable. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel in Knysna! The grounds are absolutely stunning, with beautiful gardens and a peaceful, serene atmosphere that made us feel completely relaxed. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready with great advice on the best local sites to visit. Breakfast was a highlight – delicious and served with a smile. The hotel is also ideally located, just a short walk from the center of Knysna, making it easy to explore the area. We truly wish we'd stayed longer and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Knysna!

Great place to stay in Knysna. Relatively new. Burned down in the fire and was rebuilt a few years ago. Grounds are peaceful. Room was comfortable and quiet. Front desk keeps the pool towels. Two Padel Tennis courts on site -- can reserve courts and equipment. Not expensive. Staff were very friendly. We had dinner here one night and it was excellent. Breakfast every morning was buffet and a nice selection. Load shedding affected hot water availability so make sure to check when it is while you are there so you are not showering near the end of the earmarked time! Would stay here again if ever back in the area.

I was on a tour with Locations Africa. This was one of our more wonderful stays while traveling. The bed, bedding, pillows all perfect. I just wanted to luxuriate in my bed but glad I rallied for dinner on site. I'd also like to give a shout out to some of the exemplary staff. Max, who helped me with my bags and gave me a tutorial of all the gadgets in my room. Wonderful. Also, Nkosi, was always there to ensure we had all we needed and all was going smoothly. Thank. you! Petros was another asset to the establishment. And let us not forget the front desk staff: Cheryl and Lethu. So helpful. You've got a great team and it makes the place a wonderful experience.
