Thesen View - exquisite views with canoe & bikes

NeilRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This was our second time staying here, we love it! The apartment is well appointed with everything you need, we enjoyed a braai whilst watching the sunset, and enjoyed cycling around Thesen, as well as using the canoe - both are provided free of charge and just make it easy to use what’s around you. We’ll see you again! Thank you

Westford Birds Nest

TarynRating, 5 stars3 days ago
The unit was incredibly spacious, with attention to detail in the finishing touches throughout the rooms, bathroom, and overall space, making it feel like a true home away from home. The pool and the surrounding scenery were absolutely exquisite, adding to the relaxing atmosphere. The property offered a perfect balance of comfort, quiet, and a connection to nature. It was a peaceful and refreshing retreat.

Central studio w/Wi-Fi & parking

ChrisRating, 5 stars1 month 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!

The Sea Cliff Condo. Spectacular!

GertRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had an absolute blast during our two-week stay at the Sea Cliff Condo in Brenton! The oceanfront unit offered breathtaking, unobstructed views - we even spotted whales and dolphins swimming by! Surrounded by pristine nature, we were treated to daily visits from an incredible variety of birds. Truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Helene, our fantastic host, welcomed us to the stunning, fully-equipped modern condo. She kept us informed about local events, restaurant specials, and even shared amazing wildlife videos showcasing Brenton's charm. Thank you, Helene, for making our stay truly unforgettable! We wholeheartedly recommend this incredible seaside unit and exceptional host.

Stunning location! Pool. Nature. Back up power.

JeffRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an amazing experience in Terry and Kirsten’s house. Everything is perfect! Especially the location is unbelievable well private and spectacular view of the coast! The house itself is well maintained and we enjoyed the heated pool and also the large balcony. You may see dolphins often. Although you need to drive to the house in a private path around 10 Ming’s from the front gate you can easily access the supermarket around 15 mins drive. You should not missed the restaurant in Wilderness which Warren(house manager) recommend

River Front Home | Fast Wifi | No Loadshedding

RyanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our stay at Dina Matilda’s house in the Wilderness was perfect. The location is incredible, surrounded by stunning scenery right on the river, that took our breath away. The facilities were truly five-star, with every detail thoughtfully catered to. We particularly enjoyed the huge family sized stand up paddle board for a river adventure with the kids. From clear and practive communication to the smooth meet-and-greet, everything was seamless. We couldn’t have asked for more—it was an exceptional stay, and we can’t wait to return!

Luxury in nature. Solar Powered. Endless sea views

LuukRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Oblivion exudes luxury in every sense of the word: the windows, the linen, the electronic blinds, kitchen equipment, you name it. The view over the ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see, is simply breathtaking. At night, the starry sky and the soothing sound of the waves create a tranquil atmosphere exceeds all expectations. The house itself has everything you could possibly need, and more. You’ll find yourself not wanting to leave—it truly feels like a home away from home. Everything was impeccably clean, and you can tell that great care is taken in maintaining the property. Communication with Warren was fantastic; he is incredibly friendly and it’s clear that this house is very dear to him. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Bayview House - Safe Area, Spacious & Views!

MichelleRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
There was nothing that they hadn’t thought of to make this a soft landing, we packed in a rush and didn’t remember most of the things we usually need, but found everything we needed, if you wanted to bake a cake or have a beach day everything was there, towels, beach mat, umbrellas, cake tins, even vanilla essence, the toilet paper never ran out which sounds trivial but no one wants to be wasting beach time buying this 😀 the view is spectacular, it feels like home, everything makes sense, nothing lacking it will be more than you expect, there is even a mouse house 😁loved our family holiday, hope to visit again soon xxx

We had the most incredible stay at Joy’s Airbnb! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we could have hoped for. The breathtaking views of the lagoon made our stay even more special, and Joy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The location was perfect. It’s clear that Joy puts so much care into making their guests feel welcome. We would absolutely recommend this Airbnb to anyone and will definitely be back ourselves. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Romeo

Kerroshin Rating, 5 stars1 month ago
Magnificent! The Romeo apartment is an incredible apartment in Kynsna - it is impeccably furnished in a chic modern style with all the creature comforts that a person or family could need. The open plan design of the apartment is modern and spacious and still provides privacy and allows for quiet moments while you take in the stunning views of the lagoon. The attention to detail across the apartment, including the rooftop terrace makes your holistic experience phenomenal. The apartment is easily accessed and is situated in the heart of the vibrant Thesen island, close to great restaurants, shopping and a host of outdoor experiences! Andre is a responsive host who understands hospitality and what it takes to make an unforgettable experience!

THESEN HARBOUR TOWN - studio apartment

JohnnyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
All in all we had a great stay. Lovely location and central to everything around Knysna. Walking distance to a few restaurants and coffee shops if you don’t feel like driving/to Uber somewhere. Area feels very safe and is not as loud as some of the comments point out. Becomes peaceful after 5pm daily and is only somewhat noisy around 8am-9am as the day starts. Nothing to complain about but probably not great if you’re looking for absolute silence and solitude. We actually enjoyed having a daily breakfast/lunch on the spacious balcony watching passers-by. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly come again. Knysna is a wonderful place and feels like home away from home. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
