Knysna Hollow Country Estate

Open app Your location Knysna Hollow Country Estate 5 Welbedacht Ln, Kanonkop, Knysna, 6570 Hotel Maqbool Jamdar 129 points   5 hours ago Spent 2 nights at this hotel ( not sure where the country estate comes from). Rooms not bad in size, plus is the big bathroom with walk in shower and l'Occitane bath accessories which is different from other hotels. Nice location but away from the Knysna waterfront. Quiet location and nice gardens with 2 medium sized pools and small play area. They have padel courts but this must be booked through another company for hire of court and equipment. Downs: Very limited breakfast, buffet style with small selection of scrambled , tomatoes, hash browns NO halal options which is a big negative. Most of the other hotels around here have this and a area where they provide omelettes At this hotel you have to pay extra for an omelette, Really?? If you are looking for a halaal friendly hotel then rather look elsewhere as what you pay is nice for hotel and room but not for food. We usually stay at Fancourt and this place is far from that in terms of experience. Agree that this gives you value for money but the kids wanted additional things for breakfast compared to what was offered. Reminded me of some of the business hotels I've used for work which offer the basics for the business traveller for breakfast. Was worth trying it out but maybe not for us.Lovely lady at reception who i chatted with regarding my concerns and it seems I'm not the only guest who has commented on the food offering.

Wonderful hotel, the attention to detail here is second to none, a small light brightens the bathroom when you enter at night- such a good idea! Small but thoughtful. Staff are friendly and chatty and made the stay even better. We stayed 5 nights and ate in the hotel three evenings and every meal was good- we wouldn’t normally eat in so often but it was worth it at this hotel. Great area too, surrounded by forests and the lagoon absolutely fabulous. Hiking excellent as was the Friday night market held a few minutes walk from the hotel. Felt safe and relaxed and comfortable. Thank you.
