Protea Guest House offers three self-catering wooden cottages, situated in a large tropical garden with lovely views of the Knysna Lagoon and the Knysna Heads.
One cottage (Loerie)features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lounge, and large sundeck with barbecue facilities. The other two cottages (Glasogie and Suikerbekkie) sleep two people each, also with private sundecks and barbecue facilities.
Off-street parking is available and our Guesthouse is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac away from the busy main road. It is located in a safe and quiet neighbourhood. There is abundant birdlife in the garden which is also visited by the Knysna Loerie and the Vervet monkeys.
Glasogie and Suikerbekkie both have Openview tv and Loerie has selected Dstv (business package). Free unlimited 100 Mbps fibre wifi is available in all the cottages. Parking in garage is also available, subject to availability at a small additional fee per night.
"The place was clean and staff friendly"
"We had such an enjoyable stay and everything we needed was available. Our hosts were great and we will be seeing them again"
"The trees blocked most of the view. It was nice to relax on the sundeck. The parking is bad"
"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in our charming little cottage. Beautiful view. Lovely breakfast."
"Was on business trip checked in around 19:00 and just looking for a place to stay for the night. The breakfast was severed at the night before the morning with slice of bread and jam. Was told That can warm up in the microwave! How Crazy! Not recommended for anyone to stay here!"
"Definitely a place to revisit. Adri was a very gracious & welcoming hostess. Well stocked self catering cottage, with breathtaking view from the deck. A home away from home. Pristine and beautifully maintained. Had the best nights sleep in a long time. Lovely decor, wonderful views from all windows. Loved it, planning another visit soon with a bunch of the ladies. Woo Hoo! We also requested breakfast as we had an early start, this was hot and delicious and generous!!"
"What a lovely place, I enjoyed my stay at the Protea Guest house. Adri and Quinton was a very good host and gave advice on what to do they made our honey moon extra special. We will definitely be back soon!"
"Beautiful view, nice place / set-up.<div>Nice breakfast delivered to your door step is a nice treat.</div><div>But, the noisy temporary downstairs tenants really spoilt it with their fighting...</div>"
"Thank you Adri for your hospitality.The accommodation was very clean and well maintained.The view from the balcony was great and tranquil green surroundings .I would highly recommend great value for money."
"There were a few minor niggles, but the view straight over the Heads was spectacular. The place is clean and comfortable, and tho we only stayed one night, the kitchen is as good as one usually gets at self catering places, with most, but not all of what would have at home. Our cottage had two bathrooms but they were both rather tiny, with only showers and no bath.... So if you're a bath junky like me, you might not like it for long term stay."
"The two bedroom cottage exceeded our expectations. The cottage was cosy any quaint.It has a lovely view from the deck and I felt rejuvenated just being there. It was a perfect end to our holiday. Would recommend it to friends and family and make a return visit."
"We enjoyed our stay at Protea Guest House. Excellent Facility."
"Nice and comfortable. Steep steps and very small shower."
"-Great View on the Lagoon-Very nice and helpful staff and owner-Big and clean rooms-Great Value for money"
"Was beautiful - friendly host."
"Me and my girlfriend went up for the weekend for the oyster festival. Mainly for the mountain biking event I took part in. The Suikerbekkie cottage is awesome for two people not looking for too much and just a relaxing stay. You have a beautiful view of the Knysna lagoon and it is only about 1.2kms from all the festival activities so you can actually walk there. You also get a very nice breakfast and the electric blanket was much appreciated, because make no mistake.. it gets DAMN cold there. Make sure to take enough warm clothes. I would definitely go again. I would just like to be able to take my DSTV decoder with as there is only a antenna and not a satellite dish. This being the only reason I did not score it a 5. Otherwise, awesome weekend and stay."
"Very comfortable and cozy! Awesome view."
"Lovely place, friendly people, excellent view... Close to everything, yet it feels like you're in a world of your own, surrounded by bush and beauty... We will definitely be back."
"We spent two lazy days in Protea Guest House and our cottage exceeded our expectations. There is no aircon and no wifi at cottages, but you can connect at the owners house. Breakfast was pretty nice, and all of the experience was first class"
"Had an incredible time - will definitely be going back! Thanks."
"I truly enjoyed my stay at this guest house, with friendly and efficient service. The breakfast served at my room was good, but so much better for eating it on the balcony, with a fantastic view of the lagoon."
"Airy and spacious, with a beautiful view, we were able to relax without going anywhere. A generous and tasty breakfast served on the deck and assistance in unpacking and packing our car added to the feeling of being well looked after."
"We really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. The breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast, jam, muesli, milk and juice, was served on our own deck. Adri was a very good host and gave advice on what to do. Thanks!"
