My partner, Michelle, and I had a fantastic stay at Heidi’s place. The apartment is perfectly located within walking distance of the waterfront, making it easy to explore the area. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee at Trinity Coffee, conveniently located just downstairs. Heidi was a pleasure to communicate with—responsive and helpful throughout. We highly recommend her apartment for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Brilliant value for money! Beautiful apartment with a central location and everything you need for a short or a longer stay. Carla's communication was excellent, and self-checkin was easy with clear instructions. We only stayed one night which was a shame becauce Carla's place would be the perfect base from which to explore Knysna and surroundings. Will definitely stay here again on my next visit

The Sea Cliff Condo. Spectacular!

MadeleineRating, 5 stars1 day ago
From the moment we booked, Helene was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all my questions promptly. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by her in person, which immediately made us feel at home. The accommodation exceeded our expectations - spotless, beautifully maintained and impressively well equipped. We truly felt like special guests. Helene thoughtfully prepared a welcome with wine, coffee, rusks, muffins; which was such a lovely touch. She also shared great local tips, including restaurant specials, which we really appreciated. The location is fantastic!! Peaceful, safe, and with absolutely breathtaking views. This place is a real gem, and so is the host. We thorougly enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!

James was very accommodating. We were unexpectedly only able to be in South Africa a day later than originally planned and James was super nice and reduced our booking to one night even though one-night stands are usually not possible.
