Knysna Hollow Country Estate, hotel in Knysna

Located in Knysna, 6.1 km from Simola Golf and Country Estate, Knysna Hollow Country Estate provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.

We liked everything. We first stayed here in 2018, just after it had reopened following the devestating wild fires of 2017. Everything was brand new then, and 6 years later, the same high standards and quality have been maintained. The only difference, the gardens have now matured and are beautiful.

    We enjoyed a wonderful weekend away. The cottage was beautifully decorated, with everything that we needed. It was located on a wonderful estate with lots of fun activities for kids including canoeing, mini golf, a heated swimming pool, cycling and a games room. The cottage was conveniently located in Knysna with easy access to shops and tourist attractions. It really was the perfect family getaway and we will definitely visit again!

    From the start, we loved the Simola Hotel! It's a beautiful Hotel, the staff was so friendly and we were greeted with so much professionalism! The suite we stayed in was also amazing, spacious, with beautiful decor! Wish we could've stayed another few nights but we had places to be the next day. This is really a gem of a Hotel. Next time we are definitely bringing the kids along too as the whole resort is very family friendly. Just have to say again, the staff is fantastic!

    The kids club and daily entertainment was fantastic. We had no reason to leave the hotel. Philani, who heads up the entertainment was an absolute legend with the kids and has the entire family addicted to Bingo! Would highly recommend, esp for a family with kids.

    Large territory, the pool, location. Kids club was amazing, even for children who speak only basic English. The room was spacious and had even more amenities than we expected.
