The property is amazing!! Couldn’t recommend it enough. Our room had an issue and they change the room straight away. The breakfast and restaurant is amazing. The food is fresh and tasty. You have to have a treatment at the spa, it is mind blowing. The pool area is clean and tidy too.

My husband and I were so looking forward to finally staying here. We come to South Africa yearly and stay for a couple months bc he is from here and we treated ourselves for my 40th birthday. However; we were super disappointed with this hotel. Our room needed maintenance and smelled of mildew, there was construction going on in the room next door and also right outside our patio the whole time, (I thought this would be a peaceful nature retreat) there was no ac, we weren’t allowed to use the bathtub or outdoor heated jacuzzi bc there was a drought (main reason I booked this hotel) the staff was always on their phones, we were told the restaurant was all booked up the day we arrived so we had to do room service which only starts at 6 pm and serves pizza or pasta?! The towels in the room all smelled of gasoline and manure, the list goes on! I’m not one to write a negative review but we paid over $300/night at this “luxury” hotel which is a lot in South Africa and this place was just not worth it at all.

Pezula Nature Hotel & Spa impressed us with the dual-room adjoining family suite. Plenty of room and upscale furnishings. The restaurant had a great breakfast each morning, a buffet as well as option to order. We had a car rental and went to several sanctuaries in the area. Spa was beautiful and relatively inexpensive. The grounds are kept exceptionally well. If you are in the George/Knysna area, this is a great choice for a hotel in a central location.

We stay regularly at Pezula Hotel and this was the worst ever We booked an interleading family room. In the kids bedroom there were 💩 on the wall next to toilet. Our bed was horrible and hard...kettle not working. We phoned reception to send the golfcart to collect our luggage at check out..non excisting...did not even pitch. We carried all luggage up to our car. Arrived at breakfast we ordered 2x cuppachinos. Staff where shouting an arguing in front of us....we did not get our cappuchinos...I went and asked again where it is and still after another 10min we left without coffee.. Personally It sounded like 1 staff member were not sober. We did not receive the R399 credit..I did asked them about it.. So sad that our favourite Hotel in Knysna was the worst experience ever
