Everything was perfect! The house is located in the very calm and beautiful Leisure island, with a great view on the lagoon. The rooms are tastefully furnished and Mike is a great host. He was so kind to upgrade our rooms at no cost, as we were the only guests in the house, and provided plenty of helpful tips to visit the area. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is simple but delicious.

The location of the house and the views over the island and the sea are simply superb. The house is very clean, nothing to complain about. It has a fully functional kitchen, modern amenities, and comfortable beds, among others. It's so nice to be inside the house after a long day out. The host, with its management team, is the best I've dealt with so far. The host even arranged for a catamaran tour at a reasonable price. Great suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. I initially booked for one night and ended up with 2 nights. I'll definitely stay again at this apartment. Strongly recommended. My rating is 10/10.

We booked a short holiday getaway for my mother and her husband, and they loved their stay at the Knysna Belle. They enjoyed all the activities offered, and we loved receiving photo updates of their kayak and cycling adventures or restful lounges by the pool. Thank you so much for making this holiday so special for them!

Calm, friendly atmosphere in a stunningly beautiful location. It’s a pleasure to communicate with the hostess, who is a very interesting and multifaceted personality. Marisa pays attention to details to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is an opportunity to be as autonomous as possible and at the same time use a common space. We had the opportunity to have breakfast and dinner overlooking the bay on a beautiful terrace. The room even included beach towels in a bag. At our request, Marisa gave us a beach umbrella and chairs for our trip to the beach. Very quiet. There were no power outages like in many places in South Africa.

    I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

    Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

    My wife and I loved the beach viewing points. The private beach is really cool and awesome as you can walk further in without going deep in. We loved the cabins, access to town is easy and close by.
