This house is incredible. Much bigger than it looks in the pictures and the views are amazing. It was perfect for me and my 4 colleagues on our business trip to Knysna!

Thesen Island Holiday House

JoanneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We really enjoyed our stay here. lovely home, fully equipped with everything we needed. Everything is in good condition unlike other places we've rented. The best part was the location, a few steps to the nearest bridge to get into Thesen Town. We didn't drive at all when we stayed there. Also lovely to walk within the Thesen Estate in the evenings. Faith was incredibly friendly and thorough upon check in. We were very pleased with our stay.

Breathtaking views in Belvidere Estate, Knysna

WendyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We loved our stay at the house in Belvidere. It was very private with fantastic views from the balcony. We enjoyed chilling out and eating our breakfast looking out at the stunning scenery, lagoon and birdlife. We even saw The Knysna Lourie, as it flew up to the balcony. The Belvidere Estate is very well kept and we loved our time there. The Bell Pub and The Oak Leaf Cafe were very welcoming with lovely food. Gail was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We would definitely love to come back and we would recommend to friends this beautiful area and house.

'Golf + Sea' Villa, 4 bedroom, pool

NeoRating, 5 stars9 months ago
we had such a lovely stay at Samantha’s place. pictures truly don’t do justice to what the house actually looks like. it’s incredibly stunning, the area is so tranquil & private and her space feels like a home away from home. additionally, Sam was such an amazing host, communicated well throughout, answered any questions we had with urgency & ensured our check-in was as seamless as possible. thank you so much, Sam! :)

Artist's mountain retreat with hot tub & fireplace

VildeRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an amazing stay at Samantha’s place. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, the beds & couch are very comfortable, it was clean and very well maintained. The wood fired hot tub was amazing in the evening and the Braai pit was perfect. We loved it and will for sure come back when we get the chance.

Entire house with flatlet

SusanRating, 5 stars5 months ago
This was a safe area where we could walk through the neighborhood. It is close to everything in Knysna. It was very clean and having a washer was really helpful. Wifi seemed slow. The property has a lot of steps, but that was fine for our family. It was nice to have multiple seating areas so we could sit together or spread out when we wanted to. Host offered information on local attractions and had coffee, milk, and sugar for when we arrived.

Waterfront Thesen Villa - Mooring, Pool & Inverter

JonnoRating, 5 stars6 months ago
From booking to checkout Doug and Carla were great hosts. Doug accommodated a late check-in, helped us register with security to access Thesen Island, and took us to the property for a walk-through. The home was spotless, incredibly spacious, and had every utility and modcon you need. A pleasant surprise was the addition of a pool between booking and arrival. The outside space and boat deck make for the ultimate Knysna vacation spent on the water. The restaurants and bars of Thesen Harbour Town are a 5 min walk. We will be back. Thank You!

Knysna spacious family home.

MickelaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
We had an incredible few days at the house in Knysna! It was so comfortable and inviting that we never wanted to leave. We enjoyed swimming, braaiing and relaxing while watching movies together. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, plus some lovely extras. The rooms were clean and the bed really comfortable .The owners Kate and Grant, were incredibly kind and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. I would absolutely love to return whenever possible. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it!

Waterfront- C25 Knysna Quays with pool

Penny and CharlesRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved our stay at C25 The Island, Knysna Quays. It is a gorgeous home and so comfortable and homely. It is so beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything you could need for a home away from home. We wished we could stay longer! Heather is a warm and engaging host - quick to respond and so happy to help with anything you need. Heather loves Knysna and is eager to share it with her guests. Our check-in was handled by her lovely daughter Jenna - which was quick and easy. We will definitely be back - it was everything we had hoped for and more.

Villa Leisure - perfect position on Leisure Isle

SusiRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Excellent location in a quiet “side corner”, not 150m walk from the main frontage of the lagoon with its view through The Knysna Heads, and close to Bollard Beach. If it’s privacy you are after it’s hard to beat this location. Not to mention privacy within the home - we loved the unique design of this house where the “master bedroom” is elevated and has two “interleading” doors (with stairs in between) to the rest of the house, making for absolute peace even when other guests are enjoying the kitchen and lounge spaces. The turret room is also exceptionally private, even when other guests are downstairs in the lovely TV lounge. There are several outside lounging spaces, a beautiful garden, two braai options and more than enough space for everyone. The very clean pool with a stunning blue night light was a treat. The kitchen has everything, including gas stove, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, and a very impressive stock of glassware! We loved our stay here! Thank you.

Luna on the Knysna lagoon

TaylaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
An incredible home with a host who truly cares about the guest experience. The space is warm, earthy, and inviting, with stunning views that made our stay even more memorable. We loved every part of this thoughtfully designed and well-equipped accommodation. One of our favourite parts was lighting the indoor fire each day; it added such a cosy and peaceful atmosphere.

Brenton Ferien am Meer beach house

ErwinRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a great time in Brenton on Sea. The house had all the required amenities for a self catering stay and it had lots of space and private bedrooms for a family with 2 teenagers. The Fisherman's walk was beautiful and we could walk safely stroll to the beach. Will definitely recommend!

French Corner

MarkusRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Everything went smoothly and the description of the accommodation was spot on. Location is great and the little welcome touches like some milk in the fridge, wine, and a snack basket are a really nice touch. Gia, the co-host came to introduce herself and enquired if we needed anything which also shows a rare customer centric approach. We would certainly go again and would happily recommend it to our friends. Lovely weekend!

Thank you once again.
