The views are spectacular. The amenities are wonderful. The room and house was clean and the staff I communicated with friendly and helpful. There was enough info provided should I not have had an idea what to do. I noticed careful attention to such details provided to me You can take a walk and in less than five minutes reach a place where you can look at various angles of the lagoon and the spectacular view towards the sea. On a clear night you see the beautiful lights of Knysna. I loved the fact that there was even provision made for in case there is a blackout (electricity). My room included a jaccuzi and that was something I have not experienced before, at least never at any residence of my own, so this was an added bonus I really appreciated. The ourdoor pool was beautifully lit by times with a beautiful blue light. The garden looked well kept..The breakfast was good and tasty. There were security cameras all around that added some sense of safety The lovely fireplace and in-room heating was enough to drive out the winter chills. There was some coffee and tea available for that nice relaxing home away from home experience. Ps. I appreciated the "crunches" (day 1) and the attention to detail, like a towel (available) even for going to the beach. All the keys and locks worked (yes, sometimes little details like that can also annoy or please guests)

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at Headlands House Guest Lodge in Knysna, and it was absolutely perfect. The breathtaking views of the lagoon and ocean from our room were like something out of a dream. The staff (Debbie & the kitchen staff) went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and special, consistently impressing us with their friendliness and willingness to accommodate our needs. The property itself is beautifully maintained, offering a serene atmosphere ideal for a romantic getaway. The breakfasts were delicious and made with such care, setting the perfect tone for each day. The attention to detail and the team's genuine warmth made us feel truly valued. It’s no surprise that people often call this place a "hidden gem." We couldn’t agree more - it was the perfect choice for our honeymoon, and we can't wait to return someday.

A very nice guest house with fantastic views and a spacious decking and pool. We stayed in the starfish room, the room was nicely furnished and the balcony offering wonderful sea views. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was bonus to have Netflix on the TV. The room came with a small kitchenette with coffee/tea making facilities and a full size fridge, ideal for keeping your drinks cold. The shower room was small and adequate for our two night stay. Debbie was superb, she was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and served a lovely breakfast of fruit, yogurt, granola, toast and hot food accompanied by hot and cold drinks. We enjoyed our stay.

beautiful view from the Elephant room of the indian ocean and knysna heads. the pictures don't do it any justice. we were able to see the sunset behind the west head from both the balcony and from inside the room. beautiful views during breakfast if you manage to get the only window seat with the view. breakfast was good. Crystal was super helpful and they made great recommendations and booked us diner reservations for our anniversary. Debbie also made great recommendations of places to visit and the best times to go.

The Location of the Headlands Guesthouse and especially the view from the Coney Glen Room over the bay and sea as well into the laguna are breathtaking. But also the sundowner on the pool deck or the view from the breakfast room are outstanding. The service was super friendly and the breakfast was very delicious. For sure the fitout of the rooms could be a bit more modern but the style has its own individual charm. A small house bar provided everything you needed for drinks and small snacks.
