Stayed 1 night only in Abalone Lodges. Room was nice and clean, staff was helpful during check in, theres a pub down the street. We could even checked in early. I have nothing to complain! Would recommend this place in Knysna.

We enjoyed our stay at Abalone lodges so much. We were late arriving due to roads being closed as a result of flooding. We only arrived at 19h30. Steve welcomed us with a friendly smile, and was very understanding. He was the perfect host throughout our stay. Our little house was absolutely lovely with fantastic views. The cleaning staff was very friendly as well. We will definitely recommend Abalone Lodges as a holiday accommodation

Beautiful looking lodge.nice secluded parking with nice view from bedroom. The kitchen is a failure. The washbowl placement in the corner is the worst I have ever seen. Only two utensils of any type. So you wash all the time in that terribly placed wash bowl. AND there is no table. This is self catering...But without a table.. You have to sit on the bed and eat. The patio table was/is not an option in an area with regular howling wind, rain and cold spells.. Wish we could have had the adjoining unit, but I guess our money was not green enough

Will definitely visit again. Will prefer a chalet with less stairs due to my wife's medical condition. Discount for pensioners will be appreciated . I had to buy Brown sugar because your complimentary packages contain none.

We stayed at Ablone on our honeymoon road trip down the Garden Route. We were pleasantly surprised by the view from the balcony. The place was in great condition and well looked after. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This place became our home during our visit to Knysna, it was a warm, comfortable, and beautiful intimate space! The cleaners were friendly and on days when we were home during the time that they were cleaning, they did not make us feel uncomfortable or like we getting in their way. They cleaned our whole place (unexpectedly) every day and it was great because the last thing you want to worry about when traveling is having to clean. I would like the admin staff to be a little more responsive when booking and send confirmation or reminder emails to put bookers at ease because I had to call and email asking if I am booked in still since I booked way in advance. The views are amazing, and the staff at the place was all helpful and always available via WhatsApp or at the info desk. I highly recommend it!…

Response from Annelize Geldenhuys, Owner at Abalone Lodges
Responded 13 Apr 2023
Dear John The first available date we could get for an inspection was the 12th of April and we only received our inspection certificate yesterday. Sadly I am unable to post an attachment to your reivew. I will send this to you personally. I can confirm that no bedbugs were found in your room or any of the other rooms that were checked. Our lodge is and has always been under a 6 weekly program for insects and rodents. I believe you and your wife spent your evenings on your balcony till late at night with your door open. We have had a serious problem with mosquitoes due to the amount of rain and humidity Knysna has had recently had. Since your departure we treated our whole property for mosquitoes, and we will continue to do so on a 6 week cycle to deal with this issue. Best wishes and kindest regards Annelize
