Vista Laguna
We stayed at Vista Laguna over the holidays! It was fantastic and we will definitely be back!

Westford Birds Nest
Colette's Airbnb was divine! The place is truly breathtaking, the pictures are accurate and the space is thoughtfully put together with everything you could possibly need. She is highly responsive checking in with you to see if there is anything you need to elevate your experience. The Airbnb is nestled in a peaceful nature reserve overlooking the Knysna estuary. It is located out of the hustle and bustle of town, with Knysna's hotspots just a stone throw away for your convenience. Colette went above and beyond host duties, offering trips to town when she was heading out, showing me lovely places to visit and sending exclusive restaurant offers of the day! She is a joy, and I would recommend her place to anyone looking to relax, unplug and reset. Colette's Lovely Airbnb is the only choice to make. I look forward to booking it in the summer and any other time I happen to be in Knysna.

Exotic, North Facing - Mooring, Jacuzzi & Inverter
Beautifully located within the Thesen Island precinct with access to its facilities this unit is a penthouse with convenient access from your parking directly to the unit. Well maintained and kept well by Douglas who communicates clearly and is always close by if you need additional support.

Deluxe Seaview Self-catering Unit
Thank you for a lovely stay! We really enjoyed it and you will see us again!

Stunning 3 bedroom apartment with sea views
We had a wonderful view, the apartment was spacious and had everything we needed to feel at home. I really appreciate it when you find some much needed supplies in kitchen and bathrooms that you don't expect and storage space and neatly packed cubhoards.

41 Laguna Grove Waterfront Apartment, Knysna
lo positivo: vista a la laguna, la zona, cercanía al centro, tranquilidad. lo negativo: entra luz de día a través de las cortinas. El espacio de cochera es incómodo. Knysna, hermoso!

Thesen Island, Knysna Lagoon View Apt
We had a lovely stay, the place is very clean and neat, beautiful views around, and nice that there are restaurants within walking distance. The place is perfect for family of four and I will definitely stay there if in area again.

The Gatehouse @ The River House Estate
Lovely place in a beautiful and serene setting. We had some issues with hot water (geyser failure which does not happen often!) and power (normal in SA) and through it Andrew was very involved sorting it out quickly and keeping us informed right the way through. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely be back if staying in Knysna again.

I am a returning guest to Michelle's place and absolute satisfaction. Well done.

Designer home with breath-taking views
We loved our stay in Pansy Shell. It’s a fabulous, open plan house with a lovely garden and pool and the most extraordinary view, must be the best in Plett. All communication was very easy, Cynthia looked after us very well, as did the security company (a faulty key meant we saw night watchmen a few times). We would definitely recommend this house and would love to return.

Bay View, 3 Bedroom Apartment with Ocean View
Everything was perfect and super confortable. Awesome view of the Bay! New and clean furniture and linens. I’d love to return and stay more time! Thanks!

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.

Peace in Africa
منزل جميل ودانييل شخص لطيف من الصدف الجميلة انه انقطع الكهرباء لمدة قليلة جداً وجاء مسرعاً لإصلاحة وكانت لحظة جميلة لمقابلته وتبادل اطراف الحديث بعد ان اصلح الكهرباء وتناولنا القهوة معاً ،، حصل لي ظرف وطلبت منه ان اقطع اجازتي واعود لكيب تاون وبالفعل تعامل معي بشكل لطيف وودي اشكره جزيل الشكر

Wilderness deckhouse. views!/sun/sea/river/kayaks
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the atmosphere was so peaceful , it was the perfect getaway for our family. We visited in winter and, although we were initially concerned about the cold, we were pleasantly surprised to find heated blankets on the beds, a gas heater, and a cozy indoor fireplace that made our stay extra comfortable. The host was lovely, welcoming us warmly and always available when we needed assistance. The location was central, easy to find, and close to everything we needed. We were genuinely sad to leave and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

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.

Basic seaside cottage in Sedgefield
Watching the tide come in….watching it go out….so relaxing. Super weekend with baby, kids, grandparents and dog. Playing in the lagoon all day and enjoying the quiet splashes of the fish in the evenings. Thanks again Charles and Ryk

Paradise View
Joys accommodation was exactly as described and like the photos. The flatlets were clean and had stunning views of the Knysna lagoon. Joy was responsive, accommodating and very friendly. Highly recommend staying at this accommodation amd great value for money.

We Stayed at Andrei’s place, the location and the apartment itself were amazing, perhaps even better than the pictures. The only downside I would say is the bedroom on top of the coffeeshop as it gets quite noisy from 6-7 in the morning. Other than that, definitely recommend it and will visit back again.

Blu Belle Lagoon Cottage

NEW LISTING - PARADISE ON THE WATER AT COMMODORE
This place is amazing and exceptionally beautiful. Everything is within walking distance, the restaurants are great. Heather thank you by the time we got there we had all the information and more for activities places to eat and all. We enjoyed and loved our stay.

Secure & Central Villa: Seaviews and Walk to Beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as the location is perfect. The spot is really so quiet and the garden perfect for the kids. Very comfortable and felt like a home away from home.
