    I would stay here every time if I have the chance to visit Knysna again. Nico (the owner) is very welcoming and has a good humour. The view is spectacular and you have a 180 degree view of the ocean. I only booked this place to hear the waves crash when I sleep and I was pleasantly surprised with more than I had expected of this place!

    Lovely accommodation very clean and spacious, stunning views of the sea from the patio. Lovely gesture of a bottle of wine lots of tea and coffee and home made rusks. BBQ coals were provided and has a large weber on the patio which was clean and very welcome. Hoists were very welcoming and helpful. There were no negatives, other than wishing we could have stayed longer. Would highly recommend.The beach was very close which is a blue flag beach.

    I liked everything about the property, the ocean views from our bedroom and patio were beautiful, there was everything we needed, the villa was functional it felt like home. It's a perfect location and real value for money as we spotted some dolphins and whales everyday. The big TV and lounge area are perfect, wifi worked well, rooms are spacious and I liked the dishwasher machine. The detailed instructions all over the house, the communication before arrival and during our stay was amazing. We didn't want to leave 🥺😭we will be back with our families soon❤

    From the get-go I had issues.

    From the get-go I had issues. First, I had to "upgrade at R800 for the 2 nights" for a sea view, then the door did not lock from the outside and the lady at reception handed me a spare key informing me that I NEED TO HAND IT BACK so that the cleaners can use it. Then I could not leave for dinner because the lock up garage remote did not work. Booked for breakfast at 08h00. No one informed me where I will have my breakfast. At 08h00 I waited at reception for 15min plus then decided to leave and attend to urgent business. The gentleman who assisted with the remote was a champ though.

    Our host Cheryl is really wonderful and attentive, and has gone to great lengths to make the accommodation very comfortable. We visited Brenton during late April which is very quiet and thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the accommodation, the tranquility and quietness and the wildlife offerings. Brenton on Sea is just up and over the road from Brenton on Lake, which is also really lovely to visit and take a long walk on the beach.

    If you are looking for somewhere to relax and take beach...

    If you are looking for somewhere to relax and take beach walks away from the hustle and bustle then Brenton on Sea is the place. I have never been over the December holidays (I imagine it might get busier over this period) but during February when I've been to Brenton, its not too busy and the weather is pleasant. Knysna is a 10-15 min drive away

    What a nice surprise was awaiting us when we arrived at Brenton-on-Sea chalets: the chalets are located right at the end of the village, so only dunes to see next to the accommodation and the sea is immediately accessible walking through them. What an incredible view of a pristine beach, all the way to Buffel’s Bay! The chalet has a great balcony to enjoy this beautiful setting while having a nice sundowner. Inside, everything is perfectly clean and quality material is used throughout. We will be back! Absolutely recommended.

    The location on to of the cliffs with a panoramic view of the sea was absolutely stunning! Right after our arrival we saw a path going down to the beach beneath the accommodation. We climbed down and had our private beach for the afternoon. The location is absolutely gorgeous! We booked two rooms for a total of six people. One of them had four sleeps with a balcony and full ocean view. The other one had two sleeps and a small balcony with partial but still really nice ocean view.

    Fantastic stay! The cottage was beautiful with everything you need. It was spotless, the cleanest place we have ever stayed at. The managers of Brenton-on-Sea was very nice and helpful. We were a big family that gathered for the weekend, and Chris was always trying to make things as "lekker" and comfortable as possible. We would definitely be going back and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks, Brenton-on-Sea, for a weekend where we could form memories for a lifetime!

    The staff were very professional and welcoming. The unit was up-market, luxurious and spotlessly clean, the kitchen well equipped for self catering. The bed was very comfortable and the linen was of high quality. The hotel’s position above the stunning beach is perfect and we enjoyed wonderful beach walks. The impressive restaurant has the best view ever and we ate a delicious dinner there. We had our own lock-up garage. Everything was beautifully maintained.

    We stayed at a lovely apartment with a nice patio and garden. From the pics on Booking we have thought it was an ocean front apartment but unfortunately it has a partial view of the ocean. Still nice though. We had great sunsets from our balcony. The kitchen was very well equipped. But to have some basic stuff like salt, cooking oil would be great. The pool area is nice and was very quite. The beach is walking distance and the parking place is a plus.

    Villa Castollini is situated on top of a hill with the most spectacular view over the Knysna river and quant town. The views, serene surroundings, service, facilities and exceptional breakfast, makes you feel like royalty. The staff are warm and friendly and nothing is too much of an effort. A must for every traveler.

    The wild life visits are an exceptional touch! The cozy size of the chalet was perfect for us! Proximity to all that one could want to do in Knysna was excellent! The courtesy tennis rackets and balls were very thoughtful. Our stay was overall really memorable! Would love to visit again, God-Willing!

    The Hotel is great and we had a large warm and comfortable room. The Brenton Haven Beach Resort has a spectacular location right on the beach and one can walk all the way to Buffalo Bay. Great for exercise! Hotel staff were charming and efficient.
