Aha The Rex Hotel

There are a million reasons to visit Knysna and timing or taking part in a race in one of South Africa’s most scenic locales is just one of them. You could be there to experience the majestic lakes and forests, the cuisine at the region’s outstanding restaurants or the amazing array of adventurous activities that the Garden Route has to offer. Whatever your incentive for being on the Garden Route is, one thing is clear: one of the best choices you can make would be to stay at Aha The Rex Hotel.

The two factors that our team loved the most about this hotel were the comfortable rooms and the on-site Saltwater Bistro restaurant. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with all the amenities you’d expect. From air conditioning and a coffee station (which is very important given how early race timers have to get out of bed) to WiFi and DSTV The Rex had it all.

The Saltwater Bistro boasts contemporary décor and the variety of hot and continental breakfast options appealed to every taste bud on our team. On Saturdays and Sundays, breakfast is served until 11am, which is ideal for guests wanting to enjoy a lie-in.

In short, The Rex Hotel is a perfect base from which to explore Knysna and its surrounding beauty.
