A great hotel! Rooms were spacious and clean. The pool area was gorgeous with the most spectacular view! A bit far from town but they do offer a shuttle. Because the hotel was so beautiful, we decided to eat in the restaurant there instead of the town and was so glad that we did! The service was amazing and the food delicious! A big thank you to Elrico who went above and beyond to make our stay most memorable!
Nice hotel, friendly staff. Rooms are comfortable. It’s in at the top of the hill overlooking Knysna and not walkable.
Not much in Knysa except the waterfront. It’s an overprice place for food and not much to see. The hotel was nice but I would stay in Plettenberg Bay instead.
Definitely a boutique hotel, lovely furnishings . big comfortable room. Excellent breakfast nice friendly staff. stunning location worth staying more than one night . We stayed 5 . Slight problem with the Wi-Fi, but was fixed very fast. Assistant manager Enrico & reservation manager Jennifer were very help full and attentive , as were the dining room staff

Quiet hotel with excellent views!
Lovely place with excellent view over Knysna - staff very efficient and courteous. Little bit disappointed with breakfast - convoluted; coffee or juice both not both and one coffee - pay extra to refill. No replenishing of water in the room - slight feeling of money pinching.
The view over Knysna was excellent. The room was up to standard and clean. Staff pleasant.
That’s where it ends.
The dining was poor. A number of items on the menu not available. Breakfast average at best.
Overpriced.
The host, Nan, and her team were extremely welcoming, helpful and informative and went out of their way to make our stay an enjoyable experience. It has only been open for less than a year and we think that Madison Manor is a fantastic B&B with outstanding views and service. We felt secure, there was plenty of parking and we used taxis to enjoy restaurants in the area rather than walk the hill!

Lage ist Top. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Leder hatten wir in unserem Zimmer ziemlich viele Ameisen und die Türen / Fenster waren überhaupt nicht dicht. Zudem höhrte man jeden Ton von aussen.
Wir hatten eine Übernachtung gebucht. Unglaublich netter und familiärer Service. Haben wie so bisher noch nirgendwo erlebt. Die Herrin des Hauses hat uns zum Schluss sogar noch eine Alternativroute für den Rückweg ausgearbeitet. Unglaublich freundlich. Wir kommen wieder. Zudem hat das Hotel eine super Lage mit direktem Blick auf die Lagune von Knysna und nur eine kleine Anzahl an Zimmern, was den Aufenthalt nochmals angenehmer macht. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll. Teilweise erinnert es an ein Museum. Wirklich klasse!
Thanks for a pleasant stay. The view was wonder full. The rooms were beautifull, especially the antiques. Just love everything, Koi fishes, breakfast, supper, the quietness and Nala the friendly Labby.
We had a fantastic week in Knysna as the central point for our daily activities nearby. Location is on a hill but with a fabulous view. Walking down no problem and taxi always available when returning in evenings.
This is a nice hotel which is full of antiques. The rooms are done out nicely. The hotel is currently under some maintenance work due to the recent fires but is lucky to still be standing as the house next door was completely destroyed. My only complaint would be the noise of the air conditioning. Having turned off ours and the fridge as the made too much noise, I was still awoken by some other ac despite being the only guests (as it was put of season) and I was wearing earplugs. Breakfast is very good and staff are friendly and helpful.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The service is superb and the staff is very helpful and friendly.
The room was nicely decorated and spacious. I would highly recommend this hotel for the location, staff, beautiful views from the pool area and spacious room.
