“We just had an amazing week-end at the Beach Castle. Absolutely stunning setting, beautifully appointed Castle. The food was out of this world. The staff who attended to us 24/7 (Lovett and his team) were fabulous. The service was excellent. We also did the hike through the forest to the river and then did the canoe trip to the beach – stunning! A highly recommended excursion for anyone needing a special treat and pamper.”-Marie P

“The hotel is well signposted. The setting of the Conrad is simply beautiful and the views exceptional. The room was large and comfortable. The hotel food was first class and breakfast buffet immense. We were taken by the hotel to their private beach on a lovely day and we were the only people on that huge expanse of sand.”-Billy B

Their amenities are great and the views over the ocean and Knysna lagoon is something you can sit and look at all day long. The town itself is close by and they also have a shuttle service. We really and a wonderful and relaxing stay. Their staff really make a great effort to make you feel at home.”-handrej
