We held our annual sales & marketing conference at Knysna Hollow in Jan 2013. It really was such a great venue to have a conference at. The peaceful garden setting is stunning, especially as a break between sessions, or at the end of the day. The three swimming pools, offer a refreshing dip on a hot summer's day. Cuisine is... More

The Knysna Hollow has everything you'll need for a few days in the area. We had a garden room by one of the 3 pools, a massive bed, lovely high ceilings and a fab double shower...no fighting for who goes first! The restaurant for breakfast has a lovely feature stone fireplace and the breakfast selection was great. There's a bar/pub... More

After a disastrous first night at another lagoon lodge, we were booked into the Hollow - such a saving grace for a long planned 3 night getaway.The reception staff were very helpful - always with a smile.The waiter service exceptional (it is unusual to find properly trained waiters). The attractive gardens were well maintained and a pleasure to wander through.... More

My husband and I booked the hollow as part of our Garden Route trip but were both disappointed with the location (30 min walk from the lagoon) and that they couldn't give us a double room. I think this place is used a lot for groups so the rooms have twins that they tried to convert by putting a blanket... More

Pity the garden rooms have only two single beds. Having some with double and some with two single beds would be more suited. Made sleeping uncomfortable at times. We had a double shower but only one of the showers worked. Was comfortable and pleasant otherwise. Nice setting.
