Central studio w/Wi-Fi & parking

ChrisRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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!

9 Summerplace

JussiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Brilliant value for money! Beautiful apartment with a central location and everything you need for a short or a longer stay. Carla's communication was excellent, and self-checkin was easy with clear instructions. We only stayed one night which was a shame becauce Carla's place would be the perfect base from which to explore Knysna and surroundings. Will definitely stay here again on my next visit

The Sea Cliff Condo. Spectacular!

MadeleineRating, 5 stars1 week ago
From the moment we booked, Helene was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all my questions promptly. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by her in person, which immediately made us feel at home. The accommodation exceeded our expectations - spotless, beautifully maintained and impressively well equipped. We truly felt like special guests. Helene thoughtfully prepared a welcome with wine, coffee, rusks, muffins; which was such a lovely touch. She also shared great local tips, including restaurant specials, which we really appreciated. The location is fantastic!! Peaceful, safe, and with absolutely breathtaking views. This place is a real gem, and so is the host. We thorougly enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Leisure Isle Retreat, Knysna, South Africa

Joan OctaviRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Maria made us feel right at home. The place is incredible, and the furniture is equally impressive. We mostly followed the recommendations they gave us. The house is situated in a very safe area, just a 5-minute walk from a restaurant and a coffee shop. The beach is just a 10-minute walk away. It’s the perfect place to stay with a baby. We used the barbecue and beach chairs. Knysna is an ideal break on the Garden Route. We would have stayed longer if we could have!

Separate Private Room, Own Entrance, Leisure Isle

KajoriRating, 5 stars2 days ago
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!

Knysna Holiday Home

JacquesRating, 5 stars40 months ago
A beyond five star stay! The stay was the most comfortable I have ever had with my elderly mom who has special needs for her mobility. Owen and his support are incredible and helpful. We literally never needed for a single thing. It is comfortable, clean, well located, all the possible utilities you might need. If you are going to Knysna, you have found your dream accommodation right here!

Lagoon View Apartment

SaeidRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the stunning view from the balcony — both in the morning and at sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking. The place is spotless, fully equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!
