Island holiday house
Beautiful family home with everything you need for a holiday. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. We loved our stay

Catch The Breeze - Knysna Lagoon Panoramic Views
Absolutely recommended. Accommodation with great views and great location to explore the area. Rainer is super friendly and accommodating. Everything was sparkling clean and well appointed. We enjoyed it.

Artist's mountain retreat with hot tub & fireplace
We had an amazing stay at Samantha’s place. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, the beds & couch are very comfortable, it was clean and very well maintained. The wood fired hot tub was amazing in the evening and the Braai pit was perfect. We loved it and will for sure come back when we get the chance.

Waterfront Thesen Villa - Mooring, Pool & Inverter
From booking to checkout Doug and Carla were great hosts. Doug accommodated a late check-in, helped us register with security to access Thesen Island, and took us to the property for a walk-through. The home was spotless, incredibly spacious, and had every utility and modcon you need. A pleasant surprise was the addition of a pool between booking and arrival. The outside space and boat deck make for the ultimate Knysna vacation spent on the water. The restaurants and bars of Thesen Harbour Town are a 5 min walk. We will be back. Thank You!

Waterfront- C25 Knysna Quays with pool
We loved our stay at C25 The Island, Knysna Quays. It is a gorgeous home and so comfortable and homely. It is so beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and has everything you could need for a home away from home. We wished we could stay longer! Heather is a warm and engaging host - quick to respond and so happy to help with anything you need. Heather loves Knysna and is eager to share it with her guests. Our check-in was handled by her lovely daughter Jenna - which was quick and easy. We will definitely be back - it was everything we had hoped for and more.

Old belvidere, 4 bedroom house with lagoon view
Morne is a super host. The house is way more beautiful and spacious in real life. It was a really magical getaway for my family. The street lights reflecting on the water of the lake at night was one of the picturesque highlights for me. We would definitely like to stay there again in the very near future. Thank you Morné.

There will be time
We had a wonderfully stay wish we could stay longer. This is one of the top places I have ever stayed in. Location ten out of ten, interior ten out of ten, kitchen, rooms, living area the whole house ten out of ten. Sunset view from the house is priceless. Will definitely recommend this and would love to go there again.

Large holiday home overlooking the Knysna Lagoon
This house is incredible. Much bigger than it looks in the pictures and the views are amazing. It was perfect for me and my 4 colleagues on our business trip to Knysna!

Friznite
Great place. Awesome views

Brenton Ferien am Meer beach house
We had a great time in Brenton on Sea. The house had all the required amenities for a self catering stay and it had lots of space and private bedrooms for a family with 2 teenagers. The Fisherman's walk was beautiful and we could walk safely stroll to the beach. Will definitely recommend!

Wild Plum
It was an excellent stay 👌felt like home💐

Bietjie Brenton Holiday Home (with backup power)
We loved our stay at Brenton Rest

Luxury home with KolKol hot tub & backup power
The accommodation is very clean and it was a great stay.

Cozy Island Living at The Grove cottage
We had a fantastic stay on Leisure Isle. The house is well equipped and ideally located! The host, Elma, is great. She went out of her way to provide us with a wonderful stay! She continuously checked in to make sure we had everything we needed! The property comes with loads of sporting equipment for visitors to use. This makes it extra fun for kids! I can strongly recommend this property for anyone looking to visit Leisure Isle and Knysna. Thanks Elma for making our stay so memorable!

Misty Cliffs
We had a great 3 night stay. We didn’t have the best weather so realised why the house is called misty cliffs! The kitchen was extremely well stocked and fantastic for stopping in and cooking. We also enjoyed the Gin distillery and the waterfront in Knysna which is in easy reach. On the last morning the weather was beautiful and we could appreciate the fantastic fisherman’s walk and beach. Thanks to Josse who met us at our delayed check-in. Would love to come back and explore more of this area.

Spacious home on Knysna Lagoon
What a fab location and house!

34@Paquita by Top Destinations Rentals
We had an amazing time and hosts were very friendly. beautiful home with breath-taking views.

Luna on the Knysna lagoon
An incredible home with a host who truly cares about the guest experience. The space is warm, earthy, and inviting, with stunning views that made our stay even more memorable. We loved every part of this thoughtfully designed and well-equipped accommodation. One of our favourite parts was lighting the indoor fire each day; it added such a cosy and peaceful atmosphere.

Riverview House Sedgefield
Our stay at Riverview House is something we’ll talk about for years to come - no wonder it has a 5-star rating! The house has everything you need and more, and it feels like home the moment you walk in. Dean, Jon, and the team have truly thought of every detail. The peace and tranquility of the surroundings were exactly what we’d hoped for, and while the photos are accurate, the actual experience is even more wholesome. Expect friendly visits from the owners dogs and long, relaxing moments on the deck, soaking in the mountain views. We highly recommend this property and hope to visit again soon.

Knysna Lagoon Views in Style (+Solar Backup)
Emile’s place was amazing! The view is fantastic, everything is modern, super clean, and very quiet, perfect for a peaceful stay. Emile was always available, very supportive, and made sure everything went smoothly.

Sugarbird - Knysna Estuary
Very nice (especially at the price). Set amongs tall trees, it's cool, quiet & peacefull. No aircon, but enough fans and heaters. Being winter, the mozi net and -spray were not needed. Kitchen has the basic amenities, including useful condiments (salt, pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar), but we barbecued (choice of a large and small weber, with complimentary charcoal and firelighters). Nespresso machine came with pods and a tray of delicious rusks and biscotti!

Pezula Ocean Breeze FL7
Great place to stay for a relaxing couple of days, stunning views. House is neat and exactly as the pictures. Tessa was lovely and attentive

French Corner
Everything went smoothly and the description of the accommodation was spot on. Location is great and the little welcome touches like some milk in the fridge, wine, and a snack basket are a really nice touch. Gia, the co-host came to introduce herself and enquired if we needed anything which also shows a rare customer centric approach. We would certainly go again and would happily recommend it to our friends. Lovely weekend!
