    Pleasant stay

    We only stopped over for one night, and Amber Guest House was perfect for our purposes. The rooms are big and the beds comfortable and we had good sleep. Excellent breakfast served next to the swimming pool was a big plus.

    Friendly staff, amazing room. And amazing food. Will definitely be returning to the Amber Guest House Lodge for our next stay in Knysna. Beautiful place, and our stay was very close to the waterfront where all the locals and visitors hangout
