St. James of Knysna

Lovely place. Everybody is so nice and helpful. Love the complementary boat tour! Some nice restaurants nearby (butterfly blue) Location is great, although you need a car or uber for sightseeing or going out to a restaurant.

Nice place, good service, tasty breakfast, lovely boat trip, perfect staying. We will definitely come back again!

The St. James Knysna is a wonderful hotel stay. It is situated on a beautiful waterway, the grounds were well manicured and blooming with flowers, and the pool area was very attractive and well maintained. I stayed for three nights and had three breakfasts, one dinner in the restaurant and I did room service the last two nights because I was tired from day trekking. All of the meals were very good and served by a very courteous and friendly staff. Depending on what your itinerary is, I feel this is very well located in knysna with a lot to do in the surrounding area. I visited the Garden Route’s many attractions for two days and accessed the city of Oudtshoorn for a day from this location. Had a great stay and highly recommend this to anyone staying in Knysna or an adjacent city. The hotel was a short walk from a nice waterfront area with shops and restaurants. Overall, a great stay. Our room had all the amenities we needed, Hair dryer, iron, ironing board, safe, coffee maker with coffee and supplies, robes, slippers, a beautiful balcony seating area, and plenty of plug ins for all devices. The lobby is a very nice place to just sit and read or gaze out at the water. There was also a bar in the lobby area just down the aisle from the front desk. Thank you, St. James for a great three night stay!

It's an awesome Hotel We celebrated our 25th Anniversary Best property in Knysna and their Hospitality is on top . Location, View , Rooms Staff and all other things are Top Notch. I Recommend to everyone how looks online don't miss it , you mut experience your stay there

Very friendly & attentive service. Beautiful views early morning into the lagoon before the wind comes. Very nice free lagoon boat trip. We had a nice suite (lagoon view is a must if you book) but the interior lacks a bit of „love“. Had to take pillows in myself to keep then dry & clean the the terrace table from bird excretion every day twice. Overall: Too expensive compared to other properties in South Africa.

We liked staying in the St. James which is directly located at the lagoon in Knysna. Service was excellent, our room had windows in two directions which allowed us to watch the beautiful landscape.The hotel is furnished in a more traditional style, but fits to the property. Unfortunately the N2 , which is a major road is located directly behind the hotel. It didn't impact the sleep qualify in the rooms as you would not hear anything in our room. But in the outside - the beautiful terrace and the swimming pool - you have during the day a constant certain noise level unless the wind works in your favor. Two minor items were the noise level of the coffee machine in the indoor breakfast room and the rather cold temperature in the bath room.
