Celebrated my mom’s birthday. We enjoyed our stay, loved the pool and our room was spacious and clean. The buffet breakfast is great, wish it had pancakes or waffles for vegetarians. The hotel is located at the heart of Knysna- short stroll to the waterfront, plenty of restaurants& activities. Parking is available on site for ZAR30 p/ night and tourism levy is ZAR30 p/ night. Our check in was 30 minutes late, (14:30) bit disappointed, but we understand it was peak period. Otherwise highly recommend and will definitely return!

We celebrated my 50’th birthday at the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven recently. And what a celebration it was! The venue was spectacular, and the catering was out of this world. From day one, Johlanda and her team was extremely organized, and the pre-event arrangements was timeous and from an excellent quality and standard. Johlanda (and my wife) arranged everything in detail, quite a task if an event is held in Brenton and you are resident in Polokwane. On the day of the event, everything went smoothly, with no hitches whatsoever. The venue and catering were 100% spot-on. The bar staff, kitchen staff and waiters (Teenage and his team) were friendly, fast, and efficient. It takes quite a lot for any venue to deliver 50+ perfectly prepared steaks all at one time. Not one of our guests complained in any way or manner about any food, drinks, or service. Our guests were catered for in detail, from persons with allergies to persons with other food preferences (vegetarians and vegans). As most of our guests were from other provinces, most guests also made use of the Brenton Haven hotel, and once again not a single guest was disappointed in any of the hotel or facilities. The group discount offered for event guests, also made the accommodation very reasonably priced and our guests were indeed impressed by both the Butterfly Blu restaurant and the Brenton Haven hotel. It was an absolute pleasure to host my celebration at the Butterfly Blu and I will recommend the use of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven for any occasion or event. If I had to score my whole experience, I will score it 10 out of 10. I wish to heartfully thank the whole of the Butterfly Blu and Brenton Haven team, with what can only be described as a once in a lifetime, extremely successful birthday celebration. Eugene le Roux

Really a perfect hotel. It is called a turbine hotel, because the original site of the hotel is a power certer. But now it is converted into a hotel, the turbines and other equipment in the original factory are all preserved, and the decoration is improved. It is very small and fresh. Our room is located on the third floor (the second floor of South Africa). The room has a balcony facing the lagoon, and the scenery outside is super invincible. On the other side of the bathroom you can see the lake shore and the mountains on the other side. This hotel has almost become one of our attractions in knysna. The front desk is welcoming and you can also make a free wine tasting at the spa, reception location. We fell in love with the sherry in it, and the 200R bottle is about 100 RMB, which is very good. It is also very close to the lake, and it is less than five minutes by car. The price is too high.

We stayed here on our garden route trip for 4 nights. The location of our room was the Mirkwood suite with our own balcony and sun beds. The breakfasts were lovely with a full range of foods on offer to suit all tastes and appetites. We used the hotel restaurant for our evening meals which were well priced and very good. All the staff were lovely, very helpful and caring.

Unique accommodation with great views. A very tasty furnished house, almost an artwork. Unfortunately, the pool was a little green and too cold. I would stay here again.

Lovely room and the most comfortable bed. The air-conditioning was a big plus with the hot weather we experienced in January. The view from the balcony is great and it is in a very central location. Was very pleased with everything as well as the friendly staff and parking space. Overall a great place to stay at an affordable price.
