Doane Choir, Crete, Nebraska
The Knysna Log-Inn Hotel is proud to be the home of the Doane Choir (all the way from Crete, Nebraska) for the duration of their stay in Knysna. We all look forward to the concert at the Knysna Vineyard church this evening at 19H00. Absolutely free.
The Doane Choir is the college’s premier choral ensemble. Continuing students audition in the spring and new students audition in the fall. Membership is based on these auditions and takes into consideration both musical talent and ensemble needs.
Members rehearse four times a week for a total of four-and-one-half hours.
Travelling singers on our “Stoep”
What a way to start Easter weekend with a choir at your front door.
The Knysna Log-Inn Hotel had the privilege of the Choverband Otto Elben Travelsingers spending the night at the Hotel. After breakfast this morning, they entertained us, our guests and the public with a few songs. We all loved it!
With that, we wish all of our friends and family, happy “high notes” this Easter. Travel safely.
Are you ready… for Xmas. Have you done all your shopping and is the Xmas tree up and the lights shining bright?
Maybe this year you feel like me, all I want for Xmas is the big Xmas dinner and skip the rest. Come, Relax and enjoy your Xmas break with us. We only have a few rooms left.
How quickly can you clear your mind? Check out…Get in…Buckle up. Your right foot hovers expectantly above the pedal. With the V8 biturbo engine, the Mercedes-AMG C63 starts to growl.
This is what is sounded like when a group of guests left the hotel this morning. They have the privilege to test drive these magnificent vehicles through-out our beautiful country.
With its brawny corners and well-defined muscles it sends an unmistakable signal:
“You don’t have time to procrastinate”
0-100km/h in 4.1 seconds
4.0-Liter V8 Engine

Clivia Miniata …make me sound very clever, but it actually is only the scientific name for what we all know as the “Clivia”. Called the “South African Lilly” by a lot of the locals.
This time of year, as soon as spring has arrived, you see these amazing flowers all over town and in our beautiful hotel’s garden.
Clivias do not form bulbs, but they do produce berries as fruits. Like most South African plants, we – South Africans – will find some kind of herbal remedy in almost everything. Well, the Clivia plant, is effective in treating pain, muscle stimulation and fever.
One of the reasons why I will always be Proudly South African!
Spring…makes everything young again! …and so we are starting another season. We are on the way to summer, yippee!, but also busy recovering from the Great Knysna Fires in June, a merely 3 months ago.
With Spring in the air, it is like a new dawn has broken and we are ready for what lies ahead. Getting ready for guests. Yes, we, Knysna is very happy to have all the visitors and showing them that we are still “alive”.
Spring is more than a season for our locals, it is a state of mind. A start of a new beginning. And without a new beginning, there would be no Butterflies!
Happy Spring to everyone.
Following the devastating Knysna Fires, a decision has been made that the Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival will go ahead. Knysna needs your support. Come to Knysna and support the festival events and our local businesses so that we can start to rebuild our town.
Knysna is open for business and the beauty of the region remains. The festival promises to be abuzz with fun, food, and drink for the full 10 days.
