We come here whenever we can for the Cook and Look. If you are going to be in Knysna for a Wednesday evening I would not only highly recommend this but say that it is essential. It is consistently the best food and entertainment you are going to experience on the Garden Route if not in the whole of SA . Despite problems with suppliers due to riots and strikes in Plettenberg and despite electricity problems Albin and Jenny pulled off a masterpiece yet again last night Fab-U-lous review thank you very much noel herrity.we look forward to many more meals being served your way and want to mention that this couple do an annual trip or two all the way from St Francis Bay to Knysna to have dinner at our establishment -fab-U-lous effort thank you both for your annual pilgramage to Kilzers Kitchen !!

Stayed in a delightful 1 bed unit which was large & very spacious & well appointed. Stunning views over the lovely golf course which was a delight to play. The breakfast was super but the dinner menu was a little restrictive. Stayed 5 nights but drove into town for 3 of the evenings. It was a good 10 minute drive down an unlit road into Knysna which we found a little tiresome at night. We also had the pleasure of the baboon's company on the golf course which was very entertaining. Yet again, the level of service was incredible with nothing being too much trouble. Perhaps for us, a couple, staying on Leisure Island or Thesen would have been preferable.

A lovely street cafe to enjoy the Knysna Vibe and watch the locals do their thingd. Loved their coffee though the cups are rather small. But I guess if they were bigger you would not want a second cup. Well worth a visit. Thank you Knusna !

We came here for breakfast and was not very impressed with the food and service. Although two of us had the breakfast special for R55 which included a cappuccino, the sausages on the two plates were different. One thin and one thick. And the thick sausage was not cooked through properly. The service wasn't very good as well and our dirty plates piled up without being removed from our table. The moer koffie with condensmilk was very nice and strong. Sincere apologies that you were underwhelmed! Many thanks for bringing your criticisms to our attention. This issues will be dealt with and I am happy to revert to you via email if you would care to get in touch. We strive to offer good value and inconsistency is not part of our offering. Apologies again.
