We arrived at dusk in a tired and wet state after a sorry experience at a wildlife park on a very rainy day.Dear Leafy gave us such a welcome it helped revive our spirits, just what we needed. Lana showed us around the stunning hotel and our amazing room with spectacular view. We were really looked after. We were able to order a pizza and purchase a bottle of wine. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent. The staff were friendly and the service exceptional.

We loved absolutely everything about this place!! Leisure Isle is the best location to stay in Knysna, beautiful and safe. The house itself and guest rooms are decorated with such a great taste that they look like a piece of art! Room is large and very clean, bed is comfortable with the highest quality linen. We stayed in the room Bonny and enjoyed a nice little garden with the private entrance. Diane and Rob are the great hosts, they are very passionate about their place and do everything to make guests feel at home. Breakfast is fresh, rich, unique, diverse and unbelievably tasty! We travel a lot and stayed in many different guest houses in South Africa and other countries, and concluded that One on Bollard is THE best! We highly recommend it to all travelers and no doubt we will come back again!

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
