The Nest on Leisure
The most beautiful Airbnb with the option to go on a free SUP or bike ride in the area. Knysna was lovely and this place felt like home and had everything you could wish for - a cozy fireplace, comfy bed and spacious bathroom.

Relaxed holiday home - Knysna Heads
The view from the house is absolutely stunning, and the location is brilliant. Morné responded very quickly whenever needed and was super friendly. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

Tides End Manor House
We had an amazing stay! The place was spotless, well decorated, and had everything we needed. The hosts were warm and welcoming, and the location was perfect - peaceful yet close enough to everything. We’ll definitely be back!

A home. Comfort, serenity, birds, trees and sea.
What an incredible stay! So comfortable, and such amazing surroundings. Spent a lot of time on the top deck bird-watching, and felt like we had made some friends when some of them appeared to see us off when we left! The most peaceful and tranquil of locations. It feels like a privilege to be able to stay in the centre of a place like Nature's Valley, and in such a lovely family home. We'll be back.

Love and Peace in Natures Valley
Such a great location, space, area, and value. Easy to check in and close to food and market. thank you

Weavers Rest: Lakefront Bliss & Water Sports
What a wonderful tranquil place to stay! We enjoyed the breakfast and meals in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful surroundings. Accomodation was clean and very roomy. We had we all had a wonderful stay there and were so sad to be leaving it. Thank you and we felt very safe throughout our stay

TH40 - Thesen Islands
Carla was lovely and the house was stunning. A great location with lovely views and easy access to a host of great shops and restaurants. We would love to come again. Highly recommended

Riverside home.
Always love staying here. Beautiful part of Knysna, close to the cdb but incredibly peaceful. There was a power-outage in the town but fortunately the house now has solar. The home is lovely and has everything we could possibly need. We will be back

Thesen View - exquisite views with canoe & bikes
This space is perfect for 2 people for a getaway, the 2 patios were a bonus, space to simply be. This is a prime spot in These Island, in our opinion, the view over the estuary, the bird life, is magnificent and peaceful Short walk to the restuarants as the Quay in town. Access to the canoe, SUP Bikes and golf sticks was a bonus, we used them all and had great fun, without having to have packed all our own gear. Diane and her family and the housekeeper, Patience were fabulous, helping us with our luggage, cleaning and checking in on us regularly. We will return for the simplicity of being away without stress.

The Knysna Garden Apartment - No Loadshedding!
We had a wonderful stay for our honeymoon! The place was exactly as described—peaceful, relaxing, and just what we needed. The host was welcoming and responsive, making the experience even smoother. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would absolutely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Sea Why - self-catering apartment
We had 3 great days at Sea Why in the beautiful forest town of Natures Valley . The cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Thanks Marita and Arbrie for your friendliness and your lovely cottage

Forest Cove Cottage
We stayed in one of Tine’s luxury glamping caravans as the room on AirBnB got double booked. Tine solved the matter very professionally and upon arrival she was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for our short but beautiful stay!

Westford Birds Nest
Thank you for being a wonderful host. We enjoyed our stay. Will definitely recommend friends and family.

Central studio w/Wi-Fi & parking
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!

Goose Valley Golf Estate - J6
We very much enjoyed four nights in this flat. It is in a very safe area and very straight forward to access and live in. The highlights are a beautiful view to the golf course, a very nice pool (also with a stunning view) and everything you need for a short stay.

Stunning apartment with King bed & view
Pen's place is prestine. It's in the middle of the Goose Valley golf estate. The kitchen is well equipped, it had all we needed to make breakfast and supper daily. We were a family of 4. Our son has cerebral palsy so it takes some time for him to adjust. He also felt right at home. There are many amenities to pass the time in the estate! Thank you for being a fantastic host, Pen! We will definately be back in the future!

Nico went out of his way to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We had a wonderful time and will surely go back there whenever we're in Knysna :)

Best Little Beach Bungalow in Nature's Valley
This bungalow transported us to our childhood holidays. As a family with 2 kids, we were so comfy and just loved this spot. Comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. Outdoor taps to wash off all the sand. Cute kitchen with everything you need, and a cozy lounge for card games. Lovely deck with bright red chairs that we assume resemble the colour of the Loerie's wings, that fly past everyday. Quick and easy to walk to the beach and the kids loved riding their bikes safely to the shop for ice creams. Endless activities, walking, biking, fishing, hiking, swimming, paddling. Honestly PARADISE on earth. The lagoon is beautiful but we loved the walk over to the sea against that huge mountain where the otter trail ends. The turquoise blue ocean was incredible. We cannot wait to come back to our new favourite place!

Lekkerkry Cottage
Great spot. Kids loved the surroundings and the Ratex gym was a bonus for them too.

Garden Road Cottage in Belvidere Knysna
We love staying at Paula's place, it is a divine cottage complete with everything one needs. Set in a beautiful garden, which our border collies just love. We thoroughly enjoy our holidays at Paula's place and will definitely be back again.

Wilhut
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wilhut. An awesome cabin all around with plenty amenities, privacy, and a super proactive and responsive host; Dale. It is a great spot with a lekke indoor and an outdoor fireplace to keep warm during the colder days. Not too far from town either.

Stunning 3BR home in the heart of Belvidere
Lindsay was friendly and communicative from the moment we booked. His lovely house was as described, clean, spacious and comfortable. It is located in a beautiful, peaceful location with stunning views over the Belvidere Manor gardens to the lagoon. We thoroughly enjoyed our month there and are already looking forward to returning in the future.
