Waterfront vacation rentals in Knysna

This space is perfect for 2 people for a getaway, the 2 patios were a bonus, space to simply be. This is a prime spot in These Island, in our opinion, the view over the estuary, the bird life, is magnificent and peaceful Short walk to the restuarants as the Quay in town. Access to the canoe, SUP Bikes and golf sticks was a bonus, we used them all and had great fun, without having to have packed all our own gear. Diane and her family and the housekeeper, Patience were fabulous, helping us with our luggage, cleaning and checking in on us regularly. We will return for the simplicity of being away without stress.

A beautiful home that was perfect for my family. Accessible for my parents who were elderly, and my son spent hours canoeing the waterfront and swimming in the canal. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to visit Knysna. Walking distance to Waterfront with so much to offer!

Colette was truly a gracious hostess, going the extra mile to accommodate our every need/wish/want. The boat trip was such a nice addition to our weekend experience. And that view, ah man, what a view ... Thanks to Colette and Wayne for opening up their home to us xx

My partner, Michelle, and I had a fantastic stay at Heidi’s place. The apartment is perfectly located within walking distance of the waterfront, making it easy to explore the area. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee at Trinity Coffee, conveniently located just downstairs. Heidi was a pleasure to communicate with—responsive and helpful throughout. We highly recommend her apartment for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Beautifully located within the Thesen Island precinct with access to its facilities this unit is a penthouse with convenient access from your parking directly to the unit. Well maintained and kept well by Douglas who communicates clearly and is always close by if you need additional support.

Beautiful setting with clean, well-presented accommodation. All was as our expectations. Mornè gave very good pointers and available to assist if needed at the same time our privacy was respected at all times. Thank you for the extra treats, much appreciated

Blown away by how beautiful and spacious the place was. The interiors were tastefully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances.The living area was incredibly spacious, allowing for both relaxation and socializing. Each room was comfortable and beautifully furnished, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring Knysna. What really made this experience stand out was our host. Nadia was incredibly friendly and responsive. If you're looking for a perfect getaway, look no further! This place is 150% perfect, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I can’t wait to come back.

Das Apartment (the Gull) ist ein absoluter Geheim Tipp. Ruth kümmert sich herzlichst um Ihre Gäste und gibt alles um den Aufenthalt perfekt zu machen. Für Selbstversorger ist die Küche ein Juwel. Besonders erwähnenswert ist die makellose Sauberkeit in der gesamten Unterkunft. Ergänzt wird die Unterkunft von einer großzügigen Terrasse, einen wunderschönen Garten und direktem Zugang zum Meer. Der Strand vor dem Apartment lädt zu langen Spaziergängen ein. Ruth, wir möchten uns herzlichst bei dir bedanken und sind jetzt schon traurig, dass wir nicht länger bleiben konnten. liebe Grüße Margret und Nina

Lovely place to stay at & the location was great to explore Knysna.

it was great will come agiain. small things has been discussed and i am sure Margo will sort them

We really enjoyed our stay in Daniel’s house where you have your own jetty and walking distance to cafes and restaurants. Audrey was very helpful during check in and later on when we had a power shortage. Daniel is also very kind and helpful and an extra plus is that we could use the double kayak which really enhanced our stay. We would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay here, it was peaceful and quiet with gorgeous views. Tendai was very responsive to all queries and always available. It was clean, spacious, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and braaing. The lagoon is literally across the road, the kids loved exploring and finding items like rays, crabs, expired jellyfish etc. It was definitely a memory making holiday and would highly recommend this option.

We had a great time at Kim's place, the view from the deck alone was worth every cent. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and extremely spacious, coming and going was a breeze. thanks to the anti-bug mesh on the bedroom windows we could keep them open and have a constant supply of fresh and cool air which made the hot summer nights quite bearable (it's the little things that count). overall a lovely stay with zero issues. Big thanks to Vincent for giving us the tour :)

We stayed the 3th time at the Cliff house. The house has an amazing view on the oceaan and the Heads. Its a wonderfull place to enjoy your family time

We stayed two nights and felt so rested and relaxed on the first day ! Amazingly peaceful and relaxing home. The pool was clean and a definite bonus. 10 out of 10 home to stay in. Morne is exceptional in managing this home and very friendly.

What a wonderful tranquil place to stay! We enjoyed the breakfast and meals in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful surroundings. Accomodation was clean and very roomy. We had we all had a wonderful stay there and were so sad to be leaving it. Thank you and we felt very safe throughout our stay

Joys accommodation was exactly as described and like the photos. The flatlets were clean and had stunning views of the Knysna lagoon. Joy was responsive, accommodating and very friendly. Highly recommend staying at this accommodation amd great value for money.

A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the stunning view from the balcony — both in the morning and at sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking. The place is spotless, fully equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!

Thank You for having us over. It felt Like Home and we really appreciated and followed the tips your husband gave us.

We Stayed at Andrei’s place, the location and the apartment itself were amazing, perhaps even better than the pictures. The only downside I would say is the bedroom on top of the coffeeshop as it gets quite noisy from 6-7 in the morning. Other than that, definitely recommend it and will visit back again.

Loved staying at her incredible place. The sunset was stunning, everything very clean and Anja gave us some wonderful recommendations. She is a super friendly host - Definitely recommend her place.

What a great stay!! Friendly and helpfull hosts

We had a wonderful stay. Via the app we received all information for entering the property. Communication with Melanie was super efficient and fast!

Great stay! Two favourite spots were definitely the stoep with beautiful view and nice patio furniture, main bedroom with big sliding windows with another great view.
