Vacation rentals in De Rust

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!

I would love to say our stay was terrible and keep this amazing spot a secret, but it was stunning! Diane and guest support team were amazing! Our short stay was fill of discovery really thoughtful little touches: Easter eggs on bed, calming music playing as arrived, bag of wood complimentary, marshmallows and skewers in cupboard, cold water in fridge etc.

I enjoyed my Solocation at the beautiful Cabin. Robyn is very responsive and kind. The greatest host ever! The cabin is clean with great aesthetics. I can’t wait to visit again in the near future ☺️

Amazing stay. Spacious house, centrally situated with beautiful see and mountain views. Will gladly visit again.

Daniel was an amazing host! Knysna is beautiful but Daniel's home is not only beautiful but so welcoming. He was always available, attentive and shared so many activities and things to do. his whole family was so kind, you don't even feel out of place. I was so sad when we left. Definitely coming back!

Petro was a gracious host and so lovely. She has the cutest 7 month old puppies, unfortunately they stayed behind the gate so we couldn't play with them :) The rural area has incredible WiFi and while the home was originally built in 1888, it's amenities are perfectly usable. The indoor fireplace was so cozy, the beds were very comfortable and there was solar when we had unexpected loadshedding! Definitely recommend to walk the 5km hike route, take some dry socks as we walked through a overflowing stream (so beautiful!). Highly recommend Die Tuinhuis in Calitzdorp for a delicious brekkie, too!

Our stay was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived in Ballots Bay we were completely captivated by the beauty and tranquillity of the surroundings. Nestled in a nature reserve, the home feels like a secluded haven, with breathtaking views at every turn. The accommodation itself is elegant and thoughtfully curated – a perfect blend of comfort and style. Both bedrooms offer stunning views, allowing us to wake up each morning to the sight and sound of the ocean. The bathroom was a particular highlight, with its sweeping sea views from both the bath and the shower – an experience we won’t soon forget. Sally has created a truly special space that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the serenity of Ballots Bay. We loved every minute and left feeling completely rejuvenated. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty.

We really felt at home at Piece of Heaven. It was relaxing and peaceful, as the Garden Route always is. Whatever you need on holiday, is available at Felicia's place and we felt very safe and accommodated. Will definitely recommend a stay!

We had a lovely stay at Lucy's cottage. The location was right on the beach and there was a lovely garden for our children to play in. The bedrooms were spacious and well appointed. Lucy was a kind host and always happy to help. Overall a great stay for a family with small children.
