Excellent hospitality and very nice place (completely redone recently)! See stars.

Uitstekende gasvryheid en baie mooi plek (onlangs heeltemal oorgedoen)! Sien sterre.

Hello Vesta Thank you for your review. We hope that your quick road trip around South Africa ended well and that the German family has plans to return in the not too distant future and hopefully stay at Hide Away longer than one night. It would be great to see you and your family again and in the interim we wish you all the best for 2024. Kind regards Cecil & Colleen

Hallo Vesta Dankie vir jou resensie. Ons hoop dat jou vinnige padreis om Suid-Afrika goed geëindig het en dat die Duitse familie planne het om in die nie te verre toekoms terug te keer en hopelik langer as een nag by Hide Away te bly. Dit sal wonderlik wees om jou en jou gesin weer te sien en intussen wens ons julle alle voorspoed toe vir 2024. Vriendelike groete Cecil en Colleen

Very peaceful, incredibly beautiful view, very tasty breakfast, top guest house The road noise is a bit disturbing at times, but it's not the guest house's fault - it's just the only road through Knysna.

Baie rustig, ongelooflike mooi uitsig, ontbyt baie lekker, top gastehuis Die geraas van die pad is met tye bietjie steurend, maar dis nie die gastehuis se fout nie - dis maar net die enigste pad deur Knysna.

Thank you for your positive feedback. You are quite right about the road in front of Hide Away, but we like to think the view more than makes up for it. It was great to meet you and we look forward to having you return.

Dankie vir jou positiewe terugvoer. Jy is heeltemal reg oor die pad voor Hide Away, maar ons dink graag dat die uitsig meer as vergoed daarvoor. Dit was wonderlik om jou te ontmoet en ons sien uit daarna om jou terug te hê.

Colleen and Cecil are far too kind, they made us feel at home. The guest house is beautiful with its vintage furniture, not something you see everyday. Will miss waking up to a lovely view! We felt so safe and at home.

Quiet and pleasant. Everything was in good order. The only negative point is that there is a small fridge in the room and when I asked if they might have any cold drinks that I could buy, the answer was initially negative. But the owner then later brought me a soft drink, free of charge. It would only be good if, for example, they put a few bottles of water and a few bottles of soft drinks in the small fridge and then just add them to the final bill, should the guests drink from them.

Rustig en aangenaam. Alles was in goeie orde. Die enigste negatiewe punt is dat daar 'n yskassie in die kamer is en toe ek vra of hulle dalk enige koeldranke het wat ek kan koop, was die antwoord aanvanklik negatief. Maar die eienaar het toe later vir my 'n koeldrank gebring, sonder kostes. Dit sal net goed wees as hulle bv 'n paar botteltjies water en 'n paar botteltjies koeldrank in die yskassie sit en dit dan net by die finale rekening voeg, sou die gaste daarvan drink.

Hello Rouxlene We acknowledge your feedback but would mention that due to the hospitality Covid protocols we are not permitted to have anything in the mini-bars/fridges. Guests are able to put their own cooldrinks, etc. into the fridges in their rooms. We hope that your few days away from home gave you some quality R and R and that you returned home with recharged batteries! Thank you once again for staying with us. Kind regards

Hallo Rouxlene Ons erken jou terugvoer, maar wil noem dat weens die gasvryheid Covid-protokolle ons nie toegelaat word om enigiets in die mini-kroeë/yskaste te hê nie. Gaste kan hul eie koeldrank, ens. in die yskaste in hul kamers sit. Ons hoop dat u paar dae weg van die huis u 'n bietjie kwaliteit R en R gegee het en dat u met herlaaide batterye teruggekeer het huis toe! Weereens dankie dat jy by ons gebly het. Vriendelike groete

Hello William Thank you so much for the positive review of your stay with us. It was indeed a pleasure meeting you and we were pleased that you had decided to extend your stay by one night. One night in Knysna is certainly not enough - we have so much on offer. We hope to be able to welcome you back to Hide Away in the not too distant future. Take care and kind regards. Cecil & Colleen

Hallo William Baie dankie vir die positiewe resensie van jou verblyf by ons. Dit was voorwaar 'n plesier om jou te ontmoet en ons was bly dat jy besluit het om jou verblyf met een nag te verleng. Een nag in Knysna is beslis nie genoeg nie – ons het soveel te bied. Ons hoop om jou binne die nie te verre toekoms weer by Hide Away te kan verwelkom. Wees versigtig en vriendelike groete.

Hospitality and comfort. Information about Knysna's places to eat was spot on. Good service and friendliness of owners made our stay special.

Gasvryheid en gemak. Inligting oor Knysna se eetplekke was spot on gewees. Goeie diens en vriendelikheid van eienaars het ons verblyf spesiaal gemaak.

Super clean, very friendly service, delicious breakfast. Will definitely visit there again. Beautiful place with a very nice view of the lagoon. The unit was super clean and regularly serviced. The breakfast was delicious.

Super skoon, baie vriendelike diens, heeeerlike ontbyt. Sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier. Pragtige plek met baie mooi uitsig oor die lagune. Die eenheid was super skoon en gereeld gediens. Die ontbyt was heerlik.

Hello Gaynor and Steve, Thank you once again for staying with us. We hope your ride to East London went well and that you were able to rest for 2 days before heading back home to Polokwane. I have not forgotten to make contact with HOG SA and will do so in the next week. Here in Knysna we are having a lovely day of rain to add to the beauty of the Garden Route and hope that your dam is also filling up. Take care and kind regards, Cecil and Colleen

Hallo Gaynor en Steve, Weereens dankie dat jy by ons gebly het. Ons hoop jou rit na Oos-Londen het goed afgeloop en dat jy vir 2 dae kon rus voordat jy terug is huis toe na Polokwane. Ek het nie vergeet om kontak te maak met HOG SA nie en sal dit in die volgende week doen. Hier in Knysna het ons 'n heerlike dag van reën om by te dra tot die skoonheid van die Tuinroete en hoop dat jou dam ook besig is om vol te raak. Wees versigtig en vriendelike groete, Cecil en Colleen

Great location, great hosts, great holiday. Hide-Away Guest House once again delivered a fabulous holiday experience for my wife and I. This is our second year staying there and hosts Colleen and Cecil welcomed us back like old friends. The breakfast, as always, were superb and whether sitting outside on the patio with that awesome lagoon view, or inside in the dining area made for an awesome start to the day. In a nutshell ─ great location, great hosts, great holiday.

Hello Paul, It was indeed a pleasure having you return to Hide Away Guest House, especially over the weekend of the amazing Springbok win of the Webb Ellis Trophy! Great moments to share. Don't forget you said you would let us have a video of your paragliding experience! We are already looking forward to your return next year. In the meantime, stay healthy and well and out of mischief, hehe. Kind regards, Cecil & Colleen
