Leisure Isle Retreat, Knysna, South Africa
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!

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.

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

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.
Mark assisted us in a great way to reach the place, the entire community was so good located on the river bed. It was a short stay for us, wish to stay there for a longer period in the future. All of us especially kids loved the surroundings. Overall a great place to stay 😄

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 double booking as mom's booked with each other for the Knysna Western Cape Netball Festival, however Lynn and Clyde were very understanding and give us time to figure things out. We checked and out easily and Lynn and Clyde even go as far as selecting some hand selected beverages and eats that can was a pleasant surprise and showed us a warm welcome to Knysna. I will definitely book with Lynn and Clyde again next time in Knysna. The B&B was value for money in a safe location just 2-3 minutes outside of Knysna town. Away from the hussle and bussle. Thank you Lynn and Clyde.

Sea Why - self-catering apartment
We really enjoyed our stay in Nature’s Valley. The apartment was very well organized, they thought of writing everything necessary for a good stay. The beach, the hiking trails were great. The only restaurant had great food. We highly recommend Robberg Nature Reserve and a cruise to see the dolphins, both in Plettenberg. We did the cruise with Ocean Blue Adventures.

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
Colette was truly a gracious hostess, going the extra mile to accommodate our every need/wish/want. The boat trip was such a nice addition to our weekend experience. And that view, ah man, what a view ... Thanks to Colette and Wayne for opening up their home to us xx

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 is such an amazing host, very friendly and just overall a lovable soul . The place is beautiful, exceeds expectation. Close to amenities, walkable distance to the beautiful lagoon. Highly recommend this place.

Sedgefield Lagoon Hideout - Kingfisher Drive
A lovely little cottage, beautifully equipped and decorated, comfortable and in a stunning location. We're sorry we couldn’t stay longer.

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!

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.

Sedgefield Kingfisher Cottage - Kingfisher Drive
Amazing place and perfect host! The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. The veranda was the perfect spot to sit back and relax. Would recommend Belinda's place as a perfect get away.
