Dolphin View Heroldsbay is so peaceful and beautiful, within walking distance of the Heroldsbay beach, with a restaurant across the road and a valley just out the window. Perfect place to recharge the batteries before going on to Knysna.

All the tables were decorated in movie themes, with tremendous creativity and attention to detail.

Our wonderful hosts in Knysna Annie and Doug Davies, their boys Frederick and Greg and guests. “Ladies in Lavender” even had an antique violin as the centerpiece, but it had to be removed to make way for the mountains of food!

Yes, waking up to a symphony of birds and a Knysna Loerie just feet away from us having its breakfast at the same time that we were.
