Leisure Isle Retreat, Knysna, South Africa
5 Stars – A Slice of Paradise in Knysna! We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home in Knysna. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — the hosts greeted us warmly and had thoughtfully left snacks, a bottle of wine, and even a delicious cake for us to enjoy. Such a special touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The house itself is stunning — spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful location made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved spending time on the patio, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying relaxed evenings by the fire. The location is ideal too — just a short drive from town, yet far enough to feel like a private retreat. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Ingeheim - Beach House Overlooking Sea & Lagoon
Ingheim is a charming family home & it felt like home! Thank you for sharing your house with us.

Thesen Island Holiday House
We really enjoyed our stay here. lovely home, fully equipped with everything we needed. Everything is in good condition unlike other places we've rented. The best part was the location, a few steps to the nearest bridge to get into Thesen Town. We didn't drive at all when we stayed there. Also lovely to walk within the Thesen Estate in the evenings. Faith was incredibly friendly and thorough upon check in. We were very pleased with our stay.

Seacrest Villa
My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was lovely and situated in a beautiful area. The house was clean and spacious to accommodate everyone comfortably. The host were both very helpful. I would recommend this place.

Battery Inverter, well-equipped home,24hr security
If you're looking for a place in Plett for a family holiday with young kids (ours are 9 & 6) then this is a superb house. Nice safe and peaceful complex, communal areas are clean, the pools are great, and the house has everything you need. BUT please note the 3rd outside bedroom is actually tiny. It's a double bed, right up against the wall. My parents (Granny and Granddad) also joined us and no way they could use that as a bedroom. They can't climb over each other to get out of bed! So they moved into the 2nd bedroom and our kids slept on mattresses on the floor for 10 nights. The outside room is perfect for 1 teenager/adult. The house is well equipped, and lots to do on rainy days. It definitely needs some TLC and in need of a modernization but overall a good family holiday house in Plett.

Beautiful, safe, many activities. Douglas and Carla made us feel right at home. It was such a lovely experience. The specials Douglas shared helped a lot to know where to go. The beach he recommended was well worth the visit. In general out stay was awesome ans the house was within walkinh distance of everything. The khayak access was also a lovely touch. The house was well organized and we are deffiea going to incorporate the organized touches in our personal home. Thank you for the friendly vibes.

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.
