Spent 2 nights at this hotel ( not sure where the country estate comes from). Rooms not bad in size, plus is the big bathroom with walk in shower and l'Occitane bath accessories which is different from other hotels. Nice location but away from the Knysna waterfront. Quiet location and nice gardens with 2 medium sized pools and small play area. They have padel courts but this must be booked through another company for hire of court and equipment.

If you are looking for a halaal friendly hotel then rather look elsewhere as what you pay is nice for hotel and room but not for food We usually stay at Fancourt and this place is far from that in terms of experience.

It is tastefully redecorated with a total of 44 double rooms with some slightly bigger than others. Some rooms have sleeper couches so children can also sleep in the rooms.
