Convenient for an overnight stay, lovely choice of food at breakfast, including a home cooked choice.

We had two rooms, one was looking a bit tired & both were very cold.

The two resident dogs were very friendly.

This is not “Wonderful “ as advertised. It has not been looked after with dirty old chairs and sunbeds, and unkept pool area and ground
There are dogs on site, which came into the food eating area several times. The owner removed them but didn’t control their return. The photos of the room was very misleading in the size..

Great guesthouse in Knynsna!

The room was very large and clean, beds were comfortable and Rudi is a very knowledgeable host. The family room had a nice selection of teas and delicious ground coffee for the french press with fresh milk as well. Lovely balcony to sit on and enjoy the sea view while having a drink. The owners have 2 friendly pugs but you don't hear them while in the room.

The Aestas B&B is located close to town and the Waterfront. We enjoyed our spacious room, which included small kitchen area (sink, dishes, utensils, microwave, refrigerator/freezer); couch; chairs; large king bed and nice bathroom. The breakfast was absolutely delightful, especially the scrumptious omelette and large fresh cut fruit cup. The rooms had patios that overlooked the town as well as the yard with refreshing pool. Most of all, the host Rudy is delightful and very helpful with recommendations, maps and phamplets. Thumbs us to Aestas B&B and Rudy for a wonderful guesthouse at a reasonable price. Thank you!

Look hard there is a lot here for the money

This guest house is well located close to the waterfront and shops. It isn't the most chic place but it has everything a guest could need. Pool towels, fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, bbq facilities, safe parking, thorough information on the area and advice on things to do. The breakfast is again not fancy or trendy in presentation but it is good food, well cooked and enough to choose from. All in all its a great value stay.

Good value B&B with pleasant views over lagoon

Stayed here for three nights while travelling the garden route. The hosts were friendly and offered tour advice and recommendations for places to visit.

A tasty cooked breakfast was provided along with the usual cold cuts, cereal and pastries.

The room itself was spacious with a lovely balcony, kettle and fridge. There are also pretty gardens with a swimming pool.

Aestas offered very good value in the centre of Knysna.

Great place to stay, close to all amenities and a very clean and tastefully decorated apartment. Sliding doors access to pool area and the best bit has to be the owners who were so customer service focussed. We will book again if we return to Knysna.
