Suite on the Knysna Lagoon in Old Belvidere

JeanneRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We stayed here for two nights, and wow—what a beautiful place! From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed with fresh croissants, preserves, grapes, and even freshly ground coffee with a plunger. Every detail was thoughtful, from the top-quality bed and linens to the organic hand wash and body wash—pure luxury! This was, without a doubt, our favorite place to stay on our entire honeymoon. Highly recommend!

Cabin in Knysna

Sunbird Cabin

AlisonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Thank you so much Katherine and our wonderful host, your mother, Sheila. We so enjoyed staying at Sunbird Cabin for a long weekend. The cabin was light, had a fresh, upgraded feel about it. So much thought had gone into the tastefully decorated, super-comfortable living spaces with beautiful pine touches and appropriate accessories. We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck in the afternoon sun. The trees surrounding the cabin gave privacy and welcomed the birds. A special treat was the coffee shop on the property, where we enjoyed a light lunch. This was beyond our expectation and an extremely restful weekend. Thank you so much.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Annelize for her hospitality. Her home was cozy and so beautiful. We had everything we needed. Annelize is a very thoughtful host and would recommend anyone to stay at her beautiful chalet. We were warm with the electric blankets and fire place and not to mention the hot tub. Views from her home was just incredible. Thank you so much for the beautiful stay.

Separate Private Room, Own Entrance, Leisure Isle

KajoriRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Knysna, perfectly located right by the beach. Our private room was quiet, comfortable, and thoughtfully separated from the main house, offering plenty of privacy. The surrounding area was peaceful, safe, and ideal for a relaxing getaway. While there aren’t many shops or restaurants within walking distance, it’s a short 10 minute drive to Thesen Island, where we enjoyed some lovely dinner and drinks. Leisure Island itself offers stunning views of Knysna and is a perfect place to unwind. Highly recommended for a peaceful coastal escape!

Garden Route spectacular view over Indian Ocean

PaulineRating, 5 stars3 months ago

Absolutely stunning views over the beach and sea. The views can be enjoyed from everywhere in the house. Extremely large beautiful property with lots of open space inside and out. A large balcony with loads of space to relax on. The main bedroom and bathroom are a great size and very comfortable again both with amazing views. Large dressing room too. All far bigger than the photos show. A few minutes drive to the beach which is lovely and not too busy. There is only a very small village shop with very limited supplies. We ate at Butterfly Blu on the beach a couple of time and the food was very good. Our only feedback would be some comfortable relaxing chairs to be used on the lawn. There are however 2 loungers on the balcony. We would definitely recommend this property especially if you are looking for privacy and scenic views.
