Review by hotel critic
If you're searching for a slice of tranquility wrapped in elegant charm, look no further than Parkes Manor in Knysna. As an art lover, I was immediately taken by the manor's enchanting aesthetic, offering a seamless blend of historic character and modern comfort. The lush gardens surrounding the pool provided the perfect backdrop for lazy afternoons, and I particularly enjoyed my morning coffee on the balcony, soaking in the serene views of the Knysna lagoon. The staff here truly shine, going above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable-especially with their delightful breakfasts that deserve a Michelin star, if you ask me! This hidden gem in Paradise is not just a stay;
