    Garden Route Gem

    Simola gives the best of both 5-Star luxury and Garden Route countryside splendor. The views at sunrise were simply gorgeous, friendly staff and while it’s far enough out of town to give you all the feel of the being in the countryside, it’s close enough...More

    Lovely location

    The hotel has a fabulous location looking over the lagoon and heads of Knysna. It has good quality rooms and the bar and breakfast were excellent. The golf course at Simola is definately worth playing, again offering excellent views and some very interesting holes.

    Fantastic stay

    Clean, neat and extremely comfy. Food was amazing and they have a really good variaty of wine. Spa was also good. We are not golfers, but needed a place out of town with some activities for relaxation, and Simola is the perfect place for that.
