Everything was absolutely love. Lauren is a lovely host and communicates so well. I felt very safe in this location, it is so quiet, you dont hear anything at night. THe room was spacious, kitchen utencils and kitchen outlet was fantastic. Love the hairdryer that is in the room. The bathroom is beautiful. So modern. Full DSTV that you can chose off. THe bed is so comfortable and the room has block out curtains - this is a big plus for me as I do like my room to be very dark when I sleep. There is even a space for you to sit and work, Wifi is free and good speed. This beautiful space is a real home away from home. Thank you for everything. I will be back!

Beautiful guesthouse with wonderful views across the bay. Walk around the island (Leisure Island) as the locals do is an absolute must. Mike's the best host. Do you play golf? Knysna Golf Club is totally recommended!

The chalets are situated beautifully, they feel secluded with a private beach, but are not remote at all. Every chalet has its own balcony/porch, but still with privacy. The kitchen is very well equipped. The staff is very friendly, and the chalets are cleaned every day.

The breakfast was amazing. Michelle was attentive and made us feel relaxed and at home! The house itself is beautiful, comfortable, perfectly located, bright and spacious. The garden is perfectly manicured and tranquil. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. The area is safe and the lagoon is right on the doorstep. I've never felt more relaxed.

I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

The hotel is located on the beachfront, which makes it great for picnics,strolls at the beach and the hiking trails. The breakfast was delicious and had splendid views. The staff was friendly and always ready to help.

Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

My wife and I loved the beach viewing points. The private beach is really cool and awesome as you can walk further in without going deep in. We loved the cabins, access to town is easy and close by.
