The Noetzie suite was special in its pristine views on the bay and the knysna heads. Lovely to see the sun rise and dusk from the room. Hosts Ross and Bianca are very warm and friendly. The breakfast is most elegant and exceptional. Recommend this as a stopover to do Tsitsikama too- 3 nights is a must here!

Never try to stay in any place other than Villa Afrikana when visiting South Africa. Ross and Bianca AND Staff made it a fantastic experience. In some places you get excellent service but at Villa Afrikana it is consistent! Every day the same magical and professional service that made us feel special. Grazie mille!! Ben & Zenda

Not only was our room amazing (Noetzie Suite) but so was the hospitality and service. Bianca, Ross and their staff take a great pleasure in helping out their guests and looking after their needs. We had a very nice stay at Villa Afrikana and would definitely recommend it.

Thanks to Bianca and staff for such a love stay at your beautiful hotel. We were only there for one night for a stopover on the Garden Route an you were so hospitable!! We hit a slight glitch with the hot water but you rectified this immediately and on our return from dinner we found a box of chocolates which... More

Beautiful stay at villa afrikana. We were treated like a royal family but always with a great kindness and simplicity. Bianca and Ross make you feel better than home. Great breakfasts with fresh local fruits and lovely cappucinos. Our children loved the warm welcomes of Lovemore, Beauty Steven and the other member of a always smiling staff. Thank to all... More

The Villa Afrikana starts with a very pleasant welcome and ensures a great stay......The owners and staff clearly understand that their business is to serve the customer and they do this exceptionally well. Highly recommended and I would not consider any other hotel stay in Knysna.

A beautifully kept and run guest house high on the hill with great views of Knysa. As the gate opens you are welcomed by the biggest smile you will find in South Africa. Ross and Bianca, well known in hospitality with a background in Silverseas cruise lines, have managed to create a home away from home. A beautifully appointed lounge... More

Stayed 2 nights at this fabulous guest house. What a good decision. Couldn't have been more impressed - greeted by owners with the offer of a glass of wine or beer, staff were super attentive and friendly, room was large and impeccably decorated. The attention to detail in all aspects of the house is beyond compare. Nothing was too much... More
