We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
