LizelleRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Hi Mark and Liz, Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home. We had the most wonderful break away. The house is amazing, and exceeded all of our expectations! From the beautiful decor to the extremely well equipped kitchen and the post card views, we couldn't have asked for any better. Your care, hospitality and kindness goes wat beyond and was so appreciated. This is "so long" and definitely not "good bye" as we will be back. Kind regards The Fouché Family

Cozy Island Living at The Grove cottage

ArnoldRating, 5 stars4 months ago

We had a fantastic stay on Leisure Isle. The house is well equipped and ideally located! The host, Elma, is great. She went out of her way to provide us with a wonderful stay! She continuously checked in to make sure we had everything we needed! The property comes with loads of sporting equipment for visitors to use. This makes it extra fun for kids! I can strongly recommend this property for anyone looking to visit Leisure Isle and Knysna. Thanks Elma for making our stay so memorable!

Second time back and this is 100% a little home away from home for me. Cottage has everything you need for a short term stay, clean, private, the area is quite and the hosts are amazing - let's not forget that Indie, the hosts fur baby, is the star of the show, always respectfully checking in on you 🥰. Thanks Michelle and Owen!

Loerie's Call (with Solar backup power)

LukeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Wow, our stay at this property in Knysna was amazing! I’m so happy we booked this one as it really lived up to the photos and description. Linda was at the house when we checked in and showed us around the property and how everything worked. The house was spotless when we arrived and Linda came each day and made it perfect again. The instructions in the manual were clear and when I did make a mistake by not following the instructions and accidentally locking my passport in the safe, Michelle and Lindsay were quick to respond and pop over to sort it out. We found loads of restaurants and a big supermarket a very short drive down the hill. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It really was the perfect holiday house with the most incredible views. Thanks again to Michelle and team for a fantastic experience.

KimRating, 5 stars1 month ago

What an amazing little place! We loved everything about our stay, apart from our visit being too short. "Room With a View" definitely lived up to its name, absolutely beautiful views. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable with absolutely EVERYTHING you could possibly need. John, was so warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We loved our stay and getting to see how beautiful Knysna is. Thank you so much to you all, we will most definitely be back and hopefully for much longer! x

Entire house with flatlet

SusanRating, 5 stars3 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.

An aerial view of the house showcases its distinctive architecture and multiple roofs. The layout reveals a central pool surrounded by sun loungers, complemented by lush greenery and mature landscaping. The property is situated in a tranquil environment, emphasizing its spacious outdoor areas.

Holiday home in Belvidere Estate

ReneeRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Belvidere is an idyllic place and the house suited our family perfectly. The coffee machine was an added bonus! Great location for exploring this beautiful area. Enjoyed having the lagoon, Bell restaurant and Oak Leaf restaurant all within walking distance. We could also walk to the little church for the wedding. Lynn was very clear and responsive with instructions and where to stop for groceries. We also felt very safe and when we set off the alarm accidentally, the security company arrived in seconds. Impressive!
