6 on Protea

A really lovely 2 night stay at this centrally located, yet peaceful guest house. Our room led out onto well kept gardens. Tea and coffee facilities were provided, and Anita was exceptionally helpful with many of our requests. Breakfast was fabulous and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

We had the most wonderful stay. Anita made us feel so welcome. From our room with annamazingly beautiful view, to the most delicious breakfast on the patio. We were truly spoilt. Thank you Anita and your team. We will definitely be back. Roland and Santie, Kimberley

A most enjoyable stay. Thank you. Beautiful view. Anita made as feel welcome. She even brought us the most delicious, freshly baked banana bread. We will definitely again choose 6 on Protea when we visit Knysna.

We arrived at 6 On Protea Guesthouse, in bright blue skies after having a superb walk on a nearby beach. Check in was efficient and quick and there, waiting for my loved one was a chilled bottle of sparkling Rose… Sadly my loved one never showed, so the wife had it instead. Well it was her birthday and the least I could have done for a lady that has put up with me for 35 years… A fantastic view over the bay, a room which was clean, tidy and had all that was needed including snack cooking facilities. Opening the patio doors revealed a spacious raised balcony. Even the building work in a newly erected house a few metres away didn’t detract from the experience or the scene. Breakfast next morning was prepared with care and attention. Orders had had to be placed the night before, which is not something I personally like. But I get it as it does help onsite preparation. And in fairness this minor irritation was far outweighed by the fantastic fruit and yoghurt, mega croissants with cheese and avocado, plus a full English (sorry South African) that was cooked to perfection. But best of all was the view on the terrace. Quite simply as good as anything I’ve ever experienced. Simply stunning and a real contrast to the view later in the day which was grey and miserable with visibility in the driving rain down to a few metres… As we left, two days later the sun was shining again. Time for us to move on. But time for some other lucky couple to have our room with a view.

Waking up to a beautiful view of the lagoon whilst enjoying the tranquility of mother nature. Anita is an absolute gem she made our stay extra special. We had everything we needed and so much more. Breakfast was amazing with a spectacular view of the waterfront. I recommend 6 On Protea 10 times over. Thanks Anita we hope to stay longer next time.
