The new owners, Ines and Andreas, were friendly and welcoming. On arrival, we were offered freshly made Iced Tea and shown to our gorgeous room (book the Sea room, the views are stunning!!) The little touches... water in the rooms, Nespresso machine & pods, nougat cookies, complimentary WiFi, kind offers to call and make dinner reservations, dropping laundry into town... all made for a very pleasant stay. Breakfast in the morning was locally sourced (jams were delicious and from the Farmers Market).
I hope people do book here, it's a lovely place and I would highly recommend :)

This is my third visit to Candlewood lodge, and I never will go anywhere else should I stay in Knysna.
The lodge itself is stunning and immaculately kept, The owners Graham and Joyce, are always so welcoming and the reason why this is Knysnas top place to stay shows through from the moment you arrive.
Breakfast is fantastic, and ultimately between the views and the beauty of the lodge itself, it is the perfect place to go and relax and enjoy Knysna and the surrounding areas,

Room tip: All rooms we have stayed in are stunning, but an upper balcony lagoon facing room will take your breath away.

Stayed at Candlewood Lodge for the weekend, having not been back to Knysna in over 20years, I was not sure what to expect.
Simply delightful with breathtaking views over the lagoon towards the heads. The lodge is a home away from home.
Joyce and Graham go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, the second you walk through the door.
My room overlooked the swimming pool and the lagoon beyond.
Breakfast is a feast and the fresh pot of coffee is the best I've had in ages.
Staff are extremely friendly.
In terms of location, nestled on the side of the hill, yet extremely centrally located.
George airport is a comfortable 40 min drive. Word of warning there are more cameras along this road than I've ever seen anywhere in South Africa. So stick to the speed limit. Further up the coast is Plettenberg Bay and is also only 30 min drive away.

We stayed there in December and booked again for this December but have had to cancel due to unexpected health issues. We will hopefully be going back there in the near future. Our room, "Spray Room" was beautiful and very comfortable. Breakfast was great and Graham and Joyce were the perfect hosts.
