4 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsKnysna - Last minute Steal , Beachfront Pezula!
I don't understand the bad reviews at all The large villa is perfect for a stay in Knysna. First, it should be mentioned that the place can't be safer. The rooms are spacious and there was enough space for our group of five. The villa has a nice pool, BBQ as well as large dining areas. We would come back in a heartbeat.

This comfortable beach home was perfect for our family with lots of cozy beds for everyone. The view from the upper deck is fantastic; the perfect place to enjoy your dinner as a family or read a book as the sun is setting.

This was the most fabulous stay. We live coming to Buffalo Bay and this house was perfect for the group we brought this time. We were so sad to leave, but we would love to come back the LekkerBreek!

4.71 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsBuffels Bay Home with sea view
This is a gem of a place! Set above the town with awesome views of the sea and the town, and a 5 minute walk down the hill to the beach. This is a very old house, but it has seen some updates. The kitchen is old, and some sticky drawers, but appliances were new. The beds were very comfy and the linen an good quality, with lots of pillows! The town itself is charming and a real get away from it all destination! There are no shops at all, so you need to bring all your food with you. The closest Deli shop is about 8 km from the house, just off the N2. There is a restaurant next to the Deli shop, and two in the town. The beaches are lovely! We'll be back!

Great house and location!

Villa in Brenton-on-Sea
4.59 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsGarden Route spectacular view over Indian Ocean
We had a great stay at Myke’s place. The house is huge, was very clean and had everything we needed. The views were amazing and we loved our stay there. The master bedroom is enormous and so is the ensuite bathroom and changing room. Downstairs is also very spacious and the views are gorgeous from both levels. There was a problem with the toilet in the powder room and Myke tried really hard to get this fixed while we were there. It didn’t affect our stay at all as there were two other bathrooms to use. If I’m ever in the area again I would definitely look at this house first.
