Simola Hotel, Country Club & Spa

Breakfast was really great, view was amazing. Billy Joel Tribute was exceptional well done. Loved the gym and sauna also

He hotel had an excellent breakfast with amazing views of Knysna. Facilities, kids play area and gym were great. Staff was helpful. We loved the suite (including the underfloor heating in the kitchen which was a nice touch).

The first evening went well. everything seemed to work well, except the airconditioning and the gas heater.

The first morning there was no power in the plugs in the lounge/kitchen area. The aircon. in the bedroom was not working, the fridges, stove and plug for the kettle were not working. We reported it at reception and was told that there was a power outage in Knysna. They did not contact us when the power went off to warn us what was happening. We later found there was no hot water for a shower and no wifi. When reporting this we were told that this is what happens with a power outage. No apologies. The first night they turned the bed but not the second night.

Clean and friendly

Walking in the cold to breakfast

Location and views are spectacular

Breakfast needs to have more variety especially being a 5 star hotel. Many of the 4 star places i stayed at had more variety for Breakfast then simola

I liked everything, breakfast was very nice, the place it's beautiful and very clean. Stuff very friendly, definitely going back with friends .

Good sized bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom. Parking in front of the units so easy to access vehicle. Restaurant breakfast and dinner was great. Unit has kitchen which we never used but good to know. Indoor swimming pool is great for days when it’s cold and cloudy outside.

Everything met our expectations.

The room was great. We had a well equipped kitchen and a gas bbq on a balcony with awesome views of knysna.There was a good variety for breakfast.Loved the sauna and gym. The padel courts were a hit.

The restaurant service was very poor. It just seems so different from the rest of the experience and service we received at Simola.

We were delighted as returning guests that Simola was as good if not better than previous visits!! We loved our six night stay. The restaurant was fabulous, great food with superb service. Had a golf lesson with Anthony which was so much fun! The staff at Simola are without doubt the greatest and most lovely bunch we have ever encountered and very much part of the reason we visit. Well done Simola, you are champions!!

Everything was honestly perfect!

Beautiful well appointed suite with everything that we needed. Fabulous views over the lagoon and towards The Heads. Breakfast was excellent and the staff super friendly and efficient. Would recommend to anybody to stay there

We always choose Simola if travelling around knysna , it’s incredibly beautiful and comfortable, especially with the adjoining rooms / apartments when travelling with a family

View fantastic. Breakfast excellent!! Friendly staff.

The friendly and efficient staff.The location.The breakfast.The well equipped and comfortable suite.

The one bedroom suite was exceptional, spacious , well equipped, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The views from the balcony were amazing. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and good quality products. Eggs were cooked to order. Both pools were lovely and made the most of the spectacular views. The golf course was beautiful and in excellent condition.

Evening meal in the restaurant was disappointing.

we had a great stay at Simola, the staff are all very helpful and attentive. I am allergy to dust mite and insects. They make sure that our apartment is very well cleaned and well ventilated and insects free inside the living area. The Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices of fresh fruits and good coffee, all the service staff always have a big smile and greeted us warmly every morning. Golf course onsite was a plus!! beautiful course with interesting holes and awesome view. Highly recommend this place for all who loves golf and visiting Knysna.

some minor issues: some black mold inside the shower cubicle. they could clean it better. shower door was not able to close very well, water leaking out after showeringThe shower door open position should be inward, so that water from door will not drip out on the floor mat which was already wet from leaking door opening.

Good rooms. Good food. Good location

We went to stay to play golf on the hotel golf course but in the event we’re repeatedly told we couldn’t have a start time on any of the days of our stay. A golf hotel should make a guess that its customers might be there for the golf and reserve some tee times for them OR tell them when they book that golf will probably be unavailable.

Great staff, amazing room, great food, great golf.

A beautiful hotel, in a fabulous location.The staff were always smiling and helpful, they really couldn’t have done more!We were luckyenough to have 2 rounds of golf, and the course was in excellent condition. A 5* stay overall

Not the best food we ate on holiday, but overall the food in SA was outstanding.

Spacious accommodation with the hotel amenities very close by. Views from the bar and dining are to die for !

What’s not to like?

The suite was very large.Food was good in the spike bar.

Barman couldn't pull a full pint.The room was very tired.Grouting in the shower was really filthy.The outdoor pool was a long way from the clubhouse and the indoor pool dirty.
