Description

Hide-Away Guest House - your home away from home - is a 15-minute walk to Knysna town or to the bustling Knysna Waterfront. Your South African hosts, Cecil and Colleen Harding, own and manage Hide-Away and will ensure that you have a memorable stay.

With their wealth of travel industry knowledge, they will be happy to make recommendations both locally and further afield within South Africa. They have also established relationships with bed & breakfast properties from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and will assist you with planning your itinerary as you travel along the Garden Route.

Hide-Away Guest House is the ideal place to simply relax or from which to explore the many sights of Knysna and the scenic Garden Route. Knysna is surrounded by a paradise of indigenous forests, mountains, lakes and spectacular beaches and nestles on the banks of a tranquil estuary. Day trips can be taken to spectacular Tsitsikama National Park, Plettenberg Bay, Wilderness, George, Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn.
