Waterfront holiday rentals in Knysna

Excellent stay! Everything was absolutely perfect with everything required for both a work/holiday visit. Quality throughout. Location is great with stunning views. Highly recommended. Look forward to visiting again.

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

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.

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!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in a very pleasant apartment in a beautiful location. We would highly recommend staying at No 41 Laguna Grove.

Blown away by how beautiful and spacious the place was. The interiors were tastefully decorated, with every detail thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances.The living area was incredibly spacious, allowing for both relaxation and socializing. Each room was comfortable and beautifully furnished, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring Knysna. What really made this experience stand out was our host. Nadia was incredibly friendly and responsive. If you're looking for a perfect getaway, look no further! This place is 150% perfect, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I can’t wait to come back.

We had a wonderful stay with Mary and Clive! It was a delight having them go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. From a spacious and well-equipped place to the convenient location with nearby restaurants and bars, it was the perfect spot to relax and explore. We would most definitely recommend staying here and we look forward to many more fantastic visits in the future!

Lovely place to stay at & the location was great to explore Knysna.

We had a lovey stay at La Vie Belle. The amenities were exquisite. It felt like the perfect home away from home since the moment we arrived. We were two ladies alone and felt very safe and comfortable in Thesen Island and the house. It was exactly the place we needed to relax, from the sunny patio to the comfortable lounge where we watched many movies and series on the smart TV. It was lovely having good coffee and tea ready in the kitchen, as well as hand wash, lotion, shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms. We loved the spacious kitchen where we were able to cook some meals. We will definitely be back again!

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.

A great spot by the Knysna lagoon. What impresses most is the stylish and elegant house with Japanese design. It's not too large and not too small - feels elegant and cozy at the same time. We enjoyed the wood stove, the really nice braai area and most of all the location. As a bonus, it's five minutes walk by the lagoon to the newly refurbished Food Lovers Market, too. Our host was professional, friendly and really sharp. Would book again.

Beautiful house with more than enough space, stunning views, great location. House was as described, very well equipped, we were 6 people and felt comfortable and relaxed

What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

We had a fabulous stay at The Cliff House. Dirk was easy to communicate with, met us on arrival and showed us how everything worked. The house itself has incredible views and very well equipped with everything you need to make yourself at home. The jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, the fireplace and being able to spot whales from the balcony were all special moments for our family. The house is in a very safe area with the supermarket and centre of town an easy 10min drive away and it was a great place to base ourselves from whilst doing day trips to other parts of the garden route. The daily cleaning service meant we could fully relax and enjoy our surroundings. Thank you Dirk, it was a pleasure to stay at this wonderful property.

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.

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.

Thank You for having us over. It felt Like Home and we really appreciated and followed the tips your husband gave us.

Loved staying at her incredible place. The sunset was stunning, everything very clean and Anja gave us some wonderful recommendations. She is a super friendly host - Definitely recommend her place.

We had a wonderful stay. Via the app we received all information for entering the property. Communication with Melanie was super efficient and fast!

Spacious, well equipped, great linen, beautifully located with outstanding views and easy beach access. Little piece of paradise - we will certainly book again =)

We had a great stay. It is centrally located, in a safe area, and had a clean, modern feel. Everything we needed was close by, and the apartment was comfortable. Highly recommended.

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.
