Central studio w/Wi-Fi & parking
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!

Nature Retreat for 2 @ Phantom Cottage
We had a lovely stay at this home. The place is really beautifully decorated and a very good size for 2 people. The only downfall was the aircon not working but that will apparently be fixed soon and the weather is fortunately cooling down. We would definitely love to be back in future - perfect place for us.

Beautiful, safe, many activities. Douglas and Carla made us feel right at home. It was such a lovely experience. The specials Douglas shared helped a lot to know where to go. The beach he recommended was well worth the visit. In general out stay was awesome ans the house was within walkinh distance of everything. The khayak access was also a lovely touch. The house was well organized and we are deffiea going to incorporate the organized touches in our personal home. Thank you for the friendly vibes.
Holiday House Rentals with beach access

Peace in Africa
Beautiful house with more than enough space, stunning views, great location. House was as described, very well equipped, we were 6 people and felt comfortable and relaxed

Separate Private Room, Own Entrance, Leisure Isle
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Knysna, perfectly located right by the beach. Our private room was quiet, comfortable, and thoughtfully separated from the main house, offering plenty of privacy. The surrounding area was peaceful, safe, and ideal for a relaxing getaway. While there aren’t many shops or restaurants within walking distance, it’s a short 10 minute drive to Thesen Island, where we enjoyed some lovely dinner and drinks. Leisure Island itself offers stunning views of Knysna and is a perfect place to unwind. Highly recommended for a peaceful coastal escape!

Wild Plum

Brenton Rest Main House (with backup power)
Had a great stay here, though it is just for a day. Beautiful location, great view of sea from Balcony. Huge Thanks to Maiette & Nadine - proactive with communication & with clear instructions. Able to locate the home easily and check-in was smooth, though it was bit late at night. Would love to come back here for a longer stay.

Cozy Island Living at The Grove cottage
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!

We had a wonderful stay at the Sunbird! It felt like a home away from home with everything we needed to make it comfortable.

Ray and Faye were very welcoming and friendly, meeting us to let us in and coming back to say goodbye at check out. Would love to return for another stay.
