Fantastic plsce
Stayed here for 2 nights and wished we could have stayed longer . I have never stayed in a place like this , so clean , lovely big pool, the 2 ladies were fantastic hosts. They arranged a restaurant and taxi for us as they knew we were arriving late afternoon and that I had limited mobility due to a broken foot. If I am ever back in the region I would definitely stay at Double Dutch again. We stayed in one of the cottages that had fantastic views , massive bed , large bathroom . The breakfast was fantastic

Beautiful setting, amazing hosts!
We had the most amazing stay at Double Dutch. Kate & Nathalie are incredible hosts and have created a truly wonderful B&B. They gave us so much information about the area, things to do and restaurants to visit - and made reservations for us (and all the recommendations were great!) They so kindly upgraded us to a better room than we had booked, which was nestled in the beautiful gardens and had incredible views over the town. The location of the B&B is great - a short drive/10 min into town and easy to reach from the main roads. It was probably a little further out of town than we would have liked, given that we were planning on walking everywhere. It was fine during the day, but a bit of a trickier walk at night time. This didn’t cause too much of a problem though, and you could easily get a taxi instead of walking. Thank you so much Kate & Nathalie for welcoming us and making us feel so at home. We felt like old friend by the time we left and will definitely return if we visit Knysna again in future!

The. Best. Place. Ever.
Absolutely the highlight of our honeymoon. The two ladies running the guest house are the most amazing people ever. They are so knowledgable about the area and suggested so much for us to do that we simply must come back. The rooms were gorgeous. Our patio overlooked the Knysna heads . The rooms are very spacious and have tons of amenities too. Breakfast was fantastic - loved the waffles! We were very sad to be leaving.

Great Eggs!
Nathalie and Kate are amazing hosts! We had a really happy time here. A great laugh and the views from the room were spectacular! Breakfast was a delight with "speciality themed" breakfasts served to discerning guests. Boiled eggs will never be the same again! :)

Fantastic hotel with great hosts..
The hotel is located in Kynsna Heights and the rooms have a fantastic view of the logoon. The host were great and could not have done more to make our stay in Knysna enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel.

A very special experience
This bed and breakfast is well located, well designed and tastefully decorated. Our room had a magnificent, uninterrupted view of the Knysna Heads. Kate and Nathalie, the owners, were friendly, attentive and offered help with our every need, no matter how minor. When we left after a two- day stay, we felt were bidding farewell to two good friends. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast.

Wonderful place to stay
This is a really lovely place to stay in Knysna. It a quiet area, but only a few minutes walk to the shops, restaurants and marina. But the best thing has to be the wonderful owners who look after you from the second you arrive. Great breakfast, great views, beautiful big bedroom, lovely swimming pool and grounds.
