Detailed Reviews
We had a 2 night stay here with family. The rooms facing the lagoon have an excellent view and rooms are overall very comfy. Staff is great and smiling. Breakfast was surprisingly good, though a small spread and very limited vegetarian options. We didn’t try but may be they can do something vegetarian if informed in advance. Try to book the honeymoon suites.
Swimming pool was a bit of a downer, but we didnt really go to Kynsna to swim in the pool so didnt matter.

very hospitable friendly reception and excellent service. The site is somewhat hidden away and needs some effort to locate but the views are magnificent from this location. A fridge-bar in the room could be an advantage for a thirsty traveller.

On the Overmeer website all the options with or without breakfast are clearly stated and you chose the more affordable option without breakfast. There is uber in Knysna. I suggest you make sure of your facts before you rate an establishment.

Lovely room and the most comfortable bed. The air-conditioning was a big plus with the hot weather we experienced in January. The view from the balcony is great and it is in a very central location. Was very pleased with everything as well as the friendly staff and parking space. Overall a great place to stay at an affordable price.

Very nice property, clean and neat with an awesome view. We also enjoyed the pool. Unit was great for 6 and we will definitely stay there again. Great value for money.
A friendly suggestion: To explicitly state that the unit is not equipped for self catering as one's first thought of such a unit is 'self catering'. A small 2 plate stove and 6 of each cutlery & crockery is all that is needed to 'upgrade' the property.
Would have liked to have the ability to have a braai - there is ample space to add a dedicated braai area next to this unit.

We stayed in the family unit and it was very comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly (shout out to Herbert!). No cooking utilities, but the staff kindly brought us a cutting knife and some big plates when we requested. Can definitely recommend this spot!
