Detailed Reviews
We stayed at Brenton on Sea Cottages and we were surprised at the beautiful location and the accommodation. We stayed in one of the newly built units and it lacked nothing. Service was perfect as they only serviced when necessary and continued to excersice social distancing at all time.
Location was perfect as it was a 2 min walk from the beach and 15 min drive into Knysna.
We would definitely return to Brenton on Sea Cottages. Simply loved it!!!

On arrival we where friendly welcomed by reception. The cottage we stayed in had the best view on the see and the swimming pool to keep an eye on the kids while they swim. The best cottage I loved it. The best stay ever will defiantly recommend to family and friends

Beautiful, clean and very well-equipped cottages with stunning views. The staff is very efficient and friendly. The cleaning service provided every day ensures that everyone can relax and unwind. It is like a home away from home. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

This place is truly a hidden gem. Our second visit to these well equipped, incredibly comfortable and well situated cottages, if you are wanting a quiet and restful holiday. Close to the awesome Brenton beach, a 4.5 km walk to Buffelbaai for a swim and snack on your doorstep. As retirees we have only been out of season, but I would imagine even in a busy holiday period it would be great, albeit a different family type experience. The hosts are helpful but not in your face. The beds were very comfortable and the sounds of the waves and birds being almost the only sounds added to a much needed rest. Thank you, we will be back.

First visit to Knysna in more than 20 years and it sure hit the spot. The location of Brenton on Sea Cottages worked perfectly for us. The kids had plenty of space to play outside whilst I could do a BBQ with a spectacular view of the ocean. Only a 3 minute walk to the beach! The accommodation was spotless, kitchen will stocked with cutlery and utensils. 3 well proportioned bedrooms, nicely decorated and 2 bathrooms - perfect for a family of 5. Staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Well defo stay again should we have the opportunity to visit in the near future!

I had the pleasure of staying at Brenton on Sea Cottages, and I can't say enough about this fantastic place. It's not just beautiful; it's impeccably clean and boasts truly awe-inspiring views. I was also pleasantly surprised when I requested an early check-in; they graciously accommodated us well before the official check-in time, ensuring our room was prepared and ready. This was my fourth visit to this remarkable establishment, and I can confidently say that whenever I find myself in Knysna, I won't consider staying anywhere else. I wholeheartedly recommend Brenton on Sea Cottages for an unforgettable stay.

The place is very clean, very well maintained. The lawn is beautiful, with the beach at our doorstep. The unit that we stayed came with a braai place which we used every night. I love that the kitchen is well equipped with high quality appliances & utensils as we mostly cooked our own food. The load sheddings were not major inconvenience for us. We enjoyed our stay & definitely will come back.

We took a break in the middle of the month just to recharge. At the Cottages we just did that. What I liked: very clean, neat and well stocked. Staff super friendly and helpful. Very quiet surrounds and they have free WiFi. What I did not like: the WiFi kept dropping and had to put the username and passport in too frequently and the internet is very slow. Some of the other patrons did keep me up till early morning during the weekend.

This is one of the best self-catering venues we have ever experienced: with excellent service, excellent facilities - everything you could possibly need is supplied. The views are breathtaking, the venue is crispy clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. We want to return as soon as possble.
