Idyllic, calm island in Knysna. The hosts Rob and Diane made us feel welcome and well taken care of. We had a bit of bad luck and caught a cold, Rob and Diane even helped us out with basic supplies to get fit as quick as possible. The B&B has several suites with private bathrooms, balconies and a shared pool area. The island is great for walks and relaxing days on the water. Rob and Diane will help you with ideas and destinations in the morning to make most of the daily weather conditions and your individual fitness. Every morning there is a great buffet and there is a morning specialty such as eggs benedict, omelettes, pancakes or quiche. We were very happy with our time at One on Bollard, thank you Diane & Rob for the lovely chats, kindness and warm welcome!!!

The hosts were incredibly friendly! We were dealing with a typhoon at the time, and they not only allowed us to check in early but also helped us check if the roads were clear for driving. The breakfast was hearty and delicious, especially the homemade muffins and desserts. The room was spotless, and the living room was super cozy

Absolute Perfect Vacation

the hosts were absolutely fantastic and caring and ensured that the experience was exceptional. The location on leisure island was very quiet and relaxing. The hosts were attentive to all minor details and catering to our special needs and we were treated like family and felt welcome. We got our laundry cleaned by the staff. Our hosts reserved our dinner and booked for our massage at Petuza and recommended places to visit. Our kids loved the host and their lovely dog quickly became their friend. We even had a personalised departure note which was heartwarming. Would recommend absolutely to anyone visiting Knysna.

To quote Rob on this “a home away from home”

The property is absolutely stunning. Leisure island is tranquil and relaxing. The food was great, particularly the breakfast fruit compote. They are very adventurous ensuring that each breakfast option is unique and tasty. Dianne and Rob are the most caring hosts who go out of their way to ensure your comfort. On the first night we didn’t have a car. Rob opted to drive us to the restaurant for dinner and picked us up. The following morning, Dianne drove us to Plett to pick up our rental. Simply put, it was amazing.
