Every single thing about Brenton Haven was beyond our expectations. They gave us a major upgrade when we asked for a suite with a better view. The service was absolutely exceptional on a daily from the front desk to the restaurant (amazing food might I add), to housekeeping. I could not possibly give them enough stars!! Thank you immensely Everyone was really friendly & the views were incredible.

There was nothing not to like.

The place is so beautiful, peaceful and a breath of a sea breeze

The cleaning staff were cleaning late in the afternoon and some times we wanted to relax in our villa but would come and need time to clean and we are forced to stay outside. The bathtub is needed for some relaxation during bath time and the room is not spacious

Overall it was a very pleasant and satisfying stay. The restaurant and deli were superb, with good food, well presented by friendly staff. The unit was cleaned daily, and the view, beach and location were beautiful, and we will definitely reccommend it as a favourite destination! Thank you to each and every person for making it so special to spend time there!

Very beautiful, clean and functionnal appartment overlooking the sea. There's a fully stocked kitchen and a seperate bedroom. Very clean and well maintained. There's a stunning view of the ocean from the resort's restaurant. Dinners in the restaurant are excellent. There are beautiful viewpoints for admiring the ocean when walking on the grounds. Also there is an access to the beach. Staff was polite, helpful and friendly. They reserved a cruise in Knysna for us. Very much appreciated. We had a great stay.

The hotel is located on the beachfront, which makes it great for picnics,strolls at the beach and the hiking trails. The breakfast was delicious and had splendid views. The staff was friendly and always ready to help.

I would recommend getting a car and not rely on e hailing services because everything is far. If your intention is to rest this place is perfect

The resort is nice and peaceful, spacious clean rooms, friendly staff it’s a nice beach break

The Blu restaurant has great views, the staff are very friendly with a great attitude however there is some basic restaurant training or alternative required to get the restaurant to standard levels. All 4 times I ate there not once did they get our order correct and other basic standard restaurant norms 🥹

Location, apartment with sea views and being central to lots of places. Breakfast was awesome, great views and poached eggs!

Areas of the property and apartment were tired, worn and in need of maintenance work. The apartment was really spacious and lovely but the walls were damaged by suit cases and general ware and tear,

The proximity to the beach. The restaurant is great and breakfeast was good. The staff was friendly and professional.

On the day we checked in at the resort, the restaurant owner was shouting at his workers in front of the guests in the restaurant. He carried on for almost 10 minutes and threw a tantrum. He was unprofessional and rude to his staff members.
