Look hard there is a lot here for the money
This guest house is well located close to the waterfront and shops. It isn't the most chic place but it has everything a guest could need. Pool towels, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, bbq facilities, safe parking, thorough information on the area and advice on things to do. The breakfast is again not fancy or trendy in presentation but it is good food, well cooked and enough to choose from. All in all its a great value stay.

Good value B&B with pleasant views over lagoon
Stayed here for three nights while travelling the garden route. The hosts were friendly and offered tour advice and recommendations for places to visit. A tasty cooked breakfast was provided along with the usual cold cuts, cereal and pastries. The room itself was spacious with a lovely balcony, kettle and fridge. There are also pretty gardens with a swimming pool. Aestas offered very good value in the centre of Knysna.

superb guest house
Great place to stay, close to all amenities and a very clean and tastefully decorated apartment. Sliding doors access to pool area and the best bit has to be the owners who were so customer service focussed. We will book again if we return to Knysna.

Nice at Knysna
Guus and Lidy were attentive and helpful hosts and provided useful discount vouchers for local attractions. Excellent breakfast. We did the Featherbed boat trip and visited Birds of Eden at Plettenberg Bay - both excellent. Book a room with a balcony.
