We loved everything in Chez Pierre, but if we could highlight the apex it would be the breakfast! It was amazing! We also loved the decoration of the house, all the details it has! The dogs are quite a charm and Pierre is a wonderful host. We would love to return!

I LOVED the croissants...they are Devine. Dinner was fine, but the menu is limited. For a small establishment I got to understand why the dinner menu was so limited in choice.

    We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
