"Patrick and Helen are suburb hosts at this lovely Lodge. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Everything is perfectly maintained and the lush garden adds to the relaxing environment. We enjoyed the pool, French bowls and private bar. The self catering garden cottage we stayed in, was the best spot on the premises - private, but not far from the fun. We thought that the breakfast menu could include more warm foods like bacon and freshly grilled eggs. Anneen, Petrus, Emilie and SanŽ."

2 adults and 3 kids - we had two rooms with private connecting corridor .

The rooms are lovely, garden, pool and terrace invite one to rest and relax. We will certainly recommend it to all our friends and acquaintances and when back in Knysna we will definitely only settle for Stannards. "

"From the moment Patrick (the owner) met us at the gate to the unfortunate occasion of having to depart by the same gate, we thoroughly felt at home and spoilt by the lovely accommodation and friendly hosting.

The rooms are of a very high standard, modern and comfortable.
The other communal facility areas including bar/TV room, lounge and breakfast area are well decorated and fun to spend time in. One could feel the friendliness as it was evident in all guests as we all chatted as if we were old friends.

Well done to Patrick and the ladies at Stannards - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope that we shall return to this delightful B&B soon.

"The house is really really nice, and each room is well decorated.
We enjoyed very much the warmly welcome of our French hosts."

We received a very warm welcome by the host and had all the help we need to get know the area. Look at all the details, paintings on the wall, homemade soap, herb hand cream, candles by the bathtub... it's all about the art of taste! The room smell so nice and clean, we did have a very comfortable stay! "

"This guesthouse is lovely. The owners are very friendly and you can see from the rooms' style that they are french."

The surrounding was like away from home at home. The garden was very well maintained and a joy to walk through.
To our hosts Patrick and Helene-Marie, thank you very much we had a lovely and pleasant stay.
Hope to see you soon.

"Our hosts welcomed us warmly to their Guest House, which they had only been running since October 2006. They were very helpful and provided plentiful breakfasts. The garden, pool, veranda, lounge and bar areas were very pleasant and went some way towards making up for our rather gloomy bedroom. more

Would have liked an English breakfast with bacon and warm eggs. But other than that we really enjoyed our stay. Will definitely visit them again."

The ever present ibis add musical background.

The large two bedroom suite is ideal for family and the establishment is close to town for sightseeing and dinner."

Would definately recommend this to anyone looking for accomodation in Knysna!"
