"Feedback Stannards"

21 December 2015

"Patrick and Helen are suburb hosts at this lovely Lodge. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Everything is perfectly maintained and the lush garden adds to the relaxing environment. We enjoyed the pool, French bowls and private bar. The self catering garden cottage we stayed in, was the best spot on the premises - private, but not far from the fun. We thought that the breakfast menu could include more warm foods like bacon and freshly grilled eggs. Anneen, Petrus, Emilie and San."

"Thoroughly recommend as a great base for the Knysna area"

"We, a group of 5 adults all over the age of 50, can thoroughly recommend Stannards Guest Lodge as a base for travelling around the Knysna area of South Africa. After a wonderul breakfast, we either went out for the day or spent some time by the pool (which was rather chilly). Michael made us feel very welcome and we would definately stay there again if we were in the area."

"Stannards Guest Lodge is absolutely wonderful. We had the pleasure to stay with Mike for a week. Mike is a marvellous host and the place is spotless. The rooms are lovely, garden, pool and terrace invite one to rest and relax. We will certainly recommend it to all our friends and acquaintances and when back in Knysna we will definitely only settle for Stannards. "
"Great stay!"

"We had a ball. Michael was an extremely friendly host. He introduced himself, showed us around and made us feel at home from the word go. Our room was perfectly arranged from having fresh clean linen to milk for our coffee. We loved the personal touches - having headaches ills, sanituary pads and earbuds - a first!!!Mosquitos were an issue...but we had Peaceful Sleep which was provided and you could get mats for the insect repellent - very smart!!!Breakfast was fresh and YUMMY! Loved the special attention yet again....guests were friendly too;-)Overall - we will be back! "
