William (the manager) did pay for a meal at the local italian restaurant to make up for the inconvenience but sadly the dorm was never ready to have people stay there just yet...maybe next year he will have things ready!close

The family couldn't have been more helpful. It is off the beaten track, but lifts are readily available. A wonderful place to stay

– posted on Sep 2008 1The doors didn't have locks. The ambiance and location were cool, but safety and security were completely lacking. I've stayed at hostels all over the world, and this was by far the worst! There wasn't anyone on 'guard' throughout the night, and hostelworld.com didnt even let them know we were...

Island Vibe Knysna 66%
First of all, the pictures of this place are very misleading, as this hostel is nowhere near the beach, and the pool is miniscule. Then there are no lockers for your valuables. Very friendly staff though.

The Dry Dock100%
Fabulous restaurant down at the waterfront in Knysna. It was great value for money. We had starter, main course and couple bottles of fab wine for 20 euro. Try the ostrich fillet - its worth it. Also the starter mussels were yum. We had a bottle of South African Chardonnay Pinot Noir (cabbriere) and it was so good. The staff were very professional and very...

Hiking100%
Knysna is famous for its hiking trails which bring you right up into the mountains overlooking the bays. We did some of the trails that are based around the old gold mines and it was really interesting, they have a little museum which you can call into which has a little tea room attached. This came in very handy for us as it poured rain half way up the track...

Maybe on Mondays they take the night off. Anyway we ran back to the hostel to get to the bar before it closed - we...
