Belvidere Manor Lagoonside Cottages

This is possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in!!! The staff and cottages were amazing!!! Let's start with the (only small) negatives... the cottages are a little remote from Knysna centre so you are reliant on using Uber. There is a wonderful on-site pub, but it stops serving food quite early. Plus it is hard to get cars back after 10pm at night. Therefore, some people may be better off staying more centrally. HOWEVER, nowhere else will match the beauty and tranquility of these cottages! The perfect place to relax! Stock up from a supermarket and build a new home!

Well this place is certainly a hidden gem. An assortment of cottages of 1 and 2 floors. All set around Belvidere House with large oak trees and flowers. Really is a pretty location. Part of the estate has the Bell pub which serves lovely food. Our home had 3 bedrooms over 2 floors, all big with well furnished rooms and a large kitchen with oven , fridge and a washing machine. Also had 2 bathrooms. Met on arrival in reception by Neilen and what a lovely helpful person he is. Breakfast was included with a good choice and the cooked breakfast was delicious. Lincoln was our very attentive server. So if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the area you will not go far wrong here. The setting itself is something special. The hospitality of South African 🇿🇦 people who are so genuine really stood out here. Belvidere management please recognise the very special employees you have in Nielsen and Lincoln who are a credit to you and brings people like me back again. See you next time. 🇿🇦🇬🇧

It is just a shame this property with the most delightful setting is spoiled by the poor supervision of management. The breakfast offering was extremely poor and the service was shabby. There was not attention to detail to make this stay exceptional and I unfortunately cannot recommend this property
