"The view from Coney Glen lived up to all the reviews we read. The location of the house on the Headlands looking down into the beach is ipanoramic. Neil and Lydia were charming hosts and made us feel very welcome. The room is spacious and the view from the king sized bath is special. Highly recommended."

"We have stayed in many places before, but nothing comes close to the spectacular views we had at the Headlands House. The views from Coney Glen bedroom and bathroom surpassed all our expectations. The views at the breakfast table absolutely amazing. Nothing sounds so good like a sound of waves splashing against the rocks early in the morning. We got to see from a distant purpose, I had no idea that there is something like that.Jean was absolutely fantastic, she made reservations for dinner for me and my wife at a very lovely restaurant. She's knows what her clients want and always willing to go an extra mile. I will absolutely recommend Headlands House Guest Lodge to my friends when visiting Knysna."

"While it was a little hard to find the lodge (No. 50 seemed to be at the wrong end of the street), it is a lovely house with spectacular views in all directions. The team is friendly and responsive. The location is great for quick walks to secluded, beautiful beaches and lookouts across the bay and channel."
