An excellent stay at Amanzi where we were able to experiment two different rooms. Both were very comfy. The fisherman suite is awesome with its private pool and very large bathroom. The view from the room is stunning. We loved to be able to do kayaking in the morning (the hotel provides kayak for free). Miriam was very diligent to help us booking some nice restaurants always with a wonderful view seating.

TwoAngels

Knysna

Located in a cottage-style house directly on the edge the Knysna Lagoon, TwoAngels offers a variety of uniquely designed self-catering accommodation with panoramic views.

B
Brett
From
Netherlands
This is a unique find - a room furnished with taste and restraint, but also pragmatism. The stunning setting of Two Angels - a plunging view down through layers of architecture and greenery straight onto the lagoon - is reminiscent of Lake Como. But the dreamy ambiance is supported by a very comfortable and well-planned guest environment, full of little touches (great beds, spotlessly clean linen, an iron), that make it easy to do a day’s sightseeing. The kayaks were an extra touch, which we greatly appreciated. The glory of this place, however, remains its unique setting, as well as the ability to walk down straight into the lagoon and go swimming. Service was friendly and unobtrusive.

The host was very kind and as we came here on 2 special occasions (honeymoon and birthday), we even got upgraded to a beautiful big room. The room facilities were clean, comfortable and just top level. We were asked to fill in a short survey to make the breakfast fit us best, which we really loved! The room also had a balcony oveviewing the lagoon, and breakfast was superb. Would come back any time, great value for money!

    Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
