Orange Inn Knysna

We stayed here in mid November 2024 after searching Google Maps for cheap B&B accommodation. We came to Orange Inn with low expectations but were amazed to find a sparkling, almost-new, modern hotel with (I think) five or six rooms. Our room (Falcon) was fully outfitted, and even had a safe in the closet. In most places we stayed, we couldn't get the TV to work but here, the TV not only worked but included a good selection of global channels (so most overseas visitors can keep up to date with events back home). The staff (a manager and two girls) couldn't be faulted for their friendly approach and helpfulness, and I'd like to give Rose a mention in particular — her warm smile and gentle humour made us feel welcome immediately. Breakfast was excellent, and with a wide variety. I recommend the omelette, while my wife was delighted to be offered poached eggs. Well done, girls! You looked after us beautifully and we were sorry to have to move on.

Top Class! Booking, Check-in was extremely professional. Room and bathroom are better than most 5 star Hotels. Super comfortable, clean. Great hospitality and great place to stay. Highly recommended, will definitely be back.

I wouldn't recommend this place; there are better options available. I had a disappointing experience at this hotel. Despite booking through a reliable platform, they insisted on a second payment since the owner hadn't claimed the initial one. I called the platform and they insisted on NOT PAYING AGAIN. The furniture, especially the couches, was worn out, and the bathroom was full of mold. Photos attached. The high price did not match the outdated facilities. VERY IMPORTANT - Moreover, the broken front gate was a security concern, requiring manual opening, anyone could actually open the gate. When coming back from dinner at 11 pm, I found the gate left half-open!
