All went well, we were met on arrival and shown our accommodation. We were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the surrounding area at the front of the unit and we were pleased with the facilities for the price.
For the price I wasn't expecting heaters but it was so bitterly cold that a heater would have helped. The washing line at the entrance where we drive in didn't look so inviting...... perhaps the lines could be moved elsewhere so it's not the first thing you see when you drive in.

From check in, the Manager was friendly. Everything was explained and checked. The staff friendly. The chalet had an unforeseen leak, and it was handled professionally, communication was superb. Looking forward to our next stay at Salt Rover Lodge. PS. Had trouble with the oven , maybe show how to use to guests ;-) lol

We had our extended family all together in the 4 apartments. The location is as good as the pictures. Great place to cycle, walk, run or canoe from!
We would have welcomed coffee bodums - this is pretty standard in most accommodations these days. We had brought filter coffee that we couldn't use. Thankfully Seattle Coffee is just a short drive away.

Location, cleanliness, view, facilities, friendliness, information provided in regards what to do in and around Knysna.
Lack of WiFi, ease of access to the property from the roads and river for potential thieves.

Lovely, clean and spacious units. Stayed on 2 different occasions in 2 different units. 2 Bathrooms a bonus. Great view. Staff is fabulous, rinsed our car in the morning to make sure that the windows were clean. Garden is very well kept.
The road along side is very busy early morning and early evening.

The comfort and space. The view and tranquility was good for the soul. The friendliness and professionalism of staff was really heart warming. Thank you.
We had a few challenges with the wifi and maybe the beds needs a change. Body was sore.
