Premier Resort the Moorings, Knysna

Good family resort but in need of refurbishment. First family suite had a strong damp smell and had to change to another room. Hotel staff is amazing and extremely accommodating. Breakfast options are a bit limited and needs some variety. Fun activity programmes for the family.

We stayed at the Moorings for 2 nights. Unfortunately, the first night there was no water, which would have been useful information at check-in. On the positive side, the rooms are spacious & reasonably comfortable (although furniture showing fatigue) with lock-out suites available. The shower in the bathroom was ridiculously small and difficult to access. Large soaker tub but, with water issues, unuseable. Toilets are impossibly low, with no grab bars. The restaurant was buffet only, but the food was very good and lots of variety for breakfast and dinner. The grounds offered a swimming pool and comfortable looking furniture, but weather prevented us enjoying it. Cozy bar available off the dining room. The hotel is some distance from the town, so not easily walkable. It looks like it was designed as a timeshare that wasn’t able to sell sufficient units. If it wasn’t booked for us by our tour company, I wouldn’t choose it.

I had the best Matrix Farewell 2023 ever in Premier Resort. I cannot believe that this place is suuupppeeerrrr beautiful , currently gonna rate it 1000/10 and I love it.Also I do wanna work there until I realise that I am desperate to work there.

Dreadful. House keeping shocking. Beds uncomfortable and worst of all when loadshedding kicks in for two hours the noisiest generator kicks in right by the rooms. Last night from 8-10 and then 2-4 in the morning. Zero sleep. What about the families with young kids. Breakfast very poor. Service acceptable but warm beers are not.

Fantastic ..the roo.s and chalets are tremendous and well appointed and located. Superior by miles to the Premier hotel in Cape Town. .really great hotel and service here is great . Good breakfast and the pool is magic .

Staff very pleasant and welcoming. Room was very comfortable, clean and spacious. Plenty of wardrobe space, good shower and comfortable bed. We stayed 2 nights as part of an escorted tour holiday. Good choice at breakfast, cereals, bacon etc and omelettes and eggs cooked on request. Gluten free bread available but you have to ask for it. (I am coeliac, plenty of gluten free options for breakfast). Knyana waterfront is a 5 to 10 min drive. We got a taxi there, 120 rand there and 70 rand back?? Some of the other people on our tour paid 160 rand each way?? There is an Italian restaurant in the grounds, we didn't eat there but those who did, enjoyed their food. Definitely a good place to stay when visiting Knysna.
