Great location on the water with stunning views and sunsets. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. Very well appointed and clean. Very comfortable. Also good security. Look no further for superb accommodation in Knysna!

“Epic - truly amazing hosts - highly recommended”

Our stay in Knysna was truly unforgettable, thanks to the exceptional property and the warm hospitality of Pete and Gail. They were fantastic hosts who made every effort to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. The property itself was beautifully maintained, offering stunning views and a tranquil atmosphere that perfectly complemented the natural beauty of Knysna. From the moment we arrived, we felt at home, and every minute of our stay was filled with joy and relaxation. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Knysna.

“Amazing location and view from the deck - the sunsets are amazing!”

Wonderful location and on the water on Thesen Island, walking distance from shops and restaurants. The owner (Gail) was super helpful and friendly, and responded quickly to any queries. Definitely good value for money and we'll be back soon!

“The weather was good and the property is of a high standard. We walked everywhere and loved the location.”

A perfect location above the water, it was quiet, well equipped, comfortable and lovely. We will definitely return.

“A beautiful house in a great location with stunning views.”

The location of this house is wonderful. It is in a very safe area with secure parking and a two minute walk to the nearest restaurant and cafes. The views from the house are stunning, looking over the bay and the yachts berthed there - gorgeous to waken up to and to watch the sun set. The house itself is very modern with everything you need for a few days. I had the impression that not many people had used the kitchen, preferring to eat out, but we made the most of it as it was a nice change during our 4 week holiday in S. Africa to have a couple of days preparing a light meal! The bed is extremely comfortable and it was very nice to have a large en-suite bath/ shower area and dressing area. The lovely owner met us on arrival with the keys and explained everything. She was also on hand if we had any questions.

“Style over substance.”

The back up electricity worked and the water tasted alright.

Amazing location, within walking distance to restaurants and shops. The house was clean and extremely well maintained. The owner was very welcoming and friendly.

“Fantastic property with wonderful sunset views from the terrace”

A fantastic small house located within a gated community just a few steps from the centre of Thesen Harbour Island, with it's boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants. The property itself was immaculately clean and beautifully furnished with a spacious terrace for evening drinks and sunset views. Beds were very comfortable and the two bathrooms great for our family of four. Highly recommended. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer!

“Glorious accommodation which we hope to visit again!”

Perfect location - walking distance to everything on Thesen Island and wonderful sunset views across the water.

“we love Knysna, and we’re taking friends who had not Ben before. Loved the house and particularly the location. Gail was”

location, location, location…. oh and the wonderful host and the house exceeded our expectations

Beautiful views. Walking distance to fab breakfast spot. Luxury accommodation whilst being pet friendly!! Very kind and accommodating host. Excellent communication from host.
