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.

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..

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!
