“Lovely stay in Knysna would recommend this property”
The location was excellent close to facilities and restaurants. Being in a gated community it felt very safe and secure, my wife felt safe on her own in the property whilst we played golf. There was plenty of space to relax and the 2 main bedrooms were equal so very good for two couples. Kitchen was well equipped Sven was very good on arrival instructions and meeting at the gate.

“Excellent, highly recommend”
We had a wonderful week at Spinnaker. The location is 10/10, we rented a boat which was a big plus to explore the area and having the jetty right outside was a big plus. Sven was an amazing host, very responsive to messages. I can highly recommend staying here and we will definitely return. Thank you

Quiet location with beautiful water views. I loved the proximity to restaurants both at Knysna Quays Waterfront and Thesen Harbour Town- spoilt for choice. We enjoyed kayaking on the lagoon- kayak provided by the property. Thank you Sven
