Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Leisure Island

Beautiful home with great ammenities. We loved staying there. It was so peaceful with lots to do around us. If we didn't want to go out we could braai and swim and ride bikes which was lovely. Would definitely reccommend staying there.

Maria made us feel right at home. The place is incredible, and the furniture is equally impressive. We mostly followed the recommendations they gave us. The house is situated in a very safe area, just a 5-minute walk from a restaurant and a coffee shop. The beach is just a 10-minute walk away. It’s the perfect place to stay with a baby. We used the barbecue and beach chairs. Knysna is an ideal break on the Garden Route. We would have stayed longer if we could have!

Great location, comfortable place!!

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.

We loved our stay at Sheila and Roy’s. The view was amazing and we felt so well cared for. Sheila was very responsive and had great suggestions for local restaurants and oattractions. Very comfortable stay!

We have spent many holidays on Thesen Islands over the years, renting multiple homes on multiple islands. We have now found the perfect home for us. What you arrive to is so much better than any description or picture and exceeded all of our expectations without exception. It's a stunning North facing location with a wonderful view up the main canal. The home is very well appointed and most notably, for us and for my wife, spotlessley clean. Also very notably we were supplied with the small things that make a big difference and give you a sense of generosity by the hosts; toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, sponges, washing powder, hand soaps etc (you'll be shocked how many home stays don't supply the small things). We are so appreciative to Ilsebe for sharing her lovely home with us. 2026 is already booked. Can't wait! The Farrells

We had such a fantastic stay at Richards place. The house exceeded our expectations. Its a short walk to the lagoon, we could launch our boat on the lagoon and spend the morning on the water. The house is a 20 min drive from knysna where we could enjoy other amenities like quadbiking etc. We also got to enjoy the local farmers market in sedgefield. Richard was responsive and checked in to make sure we checked in easily and enjoying our stay. We were a group or 9 and the house felt very spacious. The hosts made sure every need was met. I'd definitely recommend staying at this accommodation.

Mark assisted us in a great way to reach the place, the entire community was so good located on the river bed. It was a short stay for us, wish to stay there for a longer period in the future. All of us especially kids loved the surroundings. Overall a great place to stay 😄

We had a wonderful stay and felt very comfortable. The surroundings are fantastically beautiful and the lagoon is great for swimming for small children. We barbecued on the terrace and made ourselves comfortable. We would come back anytime!

We had a lovely 2 night stay in the apartment. Easy and safe to walk to the lovely bars and restaurants on the quay. The apartment had everything we needed and was in a quiet area and very clean. Was able to park the car in secure garage and would be very happy to stay here again.

Beautiful stay. Felt so spoilt with treats of fresh bread, milk and veggies from garden upon arrival. The apartment is spotless, had everything I needed, and nature on the doorstep. Incredibly well priced, amazing value. Highly recommend.

Check in and Carla as host was exceptional. The apartment was well equipped, very clean and modern. All and all a wonderful stay experience.

Our stay with Douglas at Knysna was absolutely delightful. The location is superb, within easy walking distance of the Knysna waterfront and all its attractions. The room itself was immaculate, spotlessly clean, and beautifully presented. It was clear that a great deal of care had been taken to ensure guest comfort. The accommodation also boasted a full array of self-catering features, including a washing machine, dishwasher, and tumble dryer, making our stay even more convenient and enjoyable. Overall: We highly recommend Douglas at Knysna to anyone seeking a comfortable, stylish, and well-located place to stay in this beautiful town. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Nicola's apartment was perfect for our overnight stay. Close to the waterfront, with lots of restaurants within walking distance to choose from. Elmo was a super star and so accommodating. Thank you

beautiful place to stay. the top apartment is very spacious, much bigger than on the pictures. The beds sleep really nice. the garden with swimming pool and braai are a little paradise. when we are back in Knysna we will book here again.

Lovely house in a beautiful location. Great communication from the hosts.

We were a large group of 9 adults and 5 children and felt so welcome and at home at 6onProtea. The rooms are all very well equipped, the kitchen and dining area well serviced and the views/location was beautiful. The manager and his housekeepers were AMAZING! We felt so cared for with their excellent recommendations for local restaurants/attractions. Nothing was too much trouble and they were attentive but not intrusive. The manager provided us with a great selection of new board games when we arrived as he thought “we looked like we were a group that would play games”. He was so right! We have many special memories of playing board games and laughing next to the roaring fire on the chilly winter nights in a special location in Knysna. We will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Thesen Island is a magical place, quiet, safe, yet close to the walkable restaurants and bars around the harbour. The villa was huge, light and airy, and has a prominent position with great views. It also has a pool, and it looked like a lot of the others didn't, so that is a bonus. Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely stunning views over the beach and sea. The views can be enjoyed from everywhere in the house. Extremely large beautiful property with lots of open space inside and out. A large balcony with loads of space to relax on. The main bedroom and bathroom are a great size and very comfortable again both with amazing views. Large dressing room too. All far bigger than the photos show. A few minutes drive to the beach which is lovely and not too busy. There is only a very small village shop with very limited supplies. We ate at Butterfly Blu on the beach a couple of time and the food was very good. Our only feedback would be some comfortable relaxing chairs to be used on the lawn. There are however 2 loungers on the balcony. We would definitely recommend this property especially if you are looking for privacy and scenic views.

Oliver’s place is beautiful. The views are stunning. The villa is in a private estate with views of the ocean and the golf course. We woke up every morning to some amazing views from almost all parts of the villa. Oliver and Amelia were very friendly and quick to communicate. We would happily come back!!

Bahari has the most spectacular view. You feel as if you’re floating on the ocean. This is our second stay here and we did find that perhaps the house needed some maintenance but other than that we loved it and will happily return. Karen is extremely helpful and quick to assist if there are any issues that require action.

Our stay at this property was outstanding! The hosts were amazing—warm, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable. The home was beautifully maintained, and having an amazing housekeeper, Elise, made everything even more convenient. The cozy, warm atmosphere, combined with breathtaking views, created a truly special experience. It was well-equipped, comfortable, and made our trip even more enjoyable. We loved everything about it and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Knysna!
