Waterfront holiday rentals in Knysna

This space is perfect for 2 people for a getaway, the 2 patios were a bonus, space to simply be. This is a prime spot in These Island, in our opinion, the view over the estuary, the bird life, is magnificent and peaceful Short walk to the restuarants as the Quay in town. Access to the canoe, SUP Bikes and golf sticks was a bonus, we used them all and had great fun, without having to have packed all our own gear. Diane and her family and the housekeeper, Patience were fabulous, helping us with our luggage, cleaning and checking in on us regularly. We will return for the simplicity of being away without stress.

A beautiful home that was perfect for my family. Accessible for my parents who were elderly, and my son spent hours canoeing the waterfront and swimming in the canal. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Highly recommended to anyone who wants to visit Knysna. Walking distance to Waterfront with so much to offer!

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

Colette was truly a gracious hostess, going the extra mile to accommodate our every need/wish/want. The boat trip was such a nice addition to our weekend experience. And that view, ah man, what a view ... Thanks to Colette and Wayne for opening up their home to us xx

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!

Beautiful setting with clean, well-presented accommodation. All was as our expectations. Mornè gave very good pointers and available to assist if needed at the same time our privacy was respected at all times. Thank you for the extra treats, much appreciated

Our stay with Douglas at Knysna was absolutely delightful. The location is superb, within easy walking distance of the Knysna waterfront and all its attractions. The room itself was immaculate, spotlessly clean, and beautifully presented. It was clear that a great deal of care had been taken to ensure guest comfort. The accommodation also boasted a full array of self-catering features, including a washing machine, dishwasher, and tumble dryer, making our stay even more convenient and enjoyable. Overall: We highly recommend Douglas at Knysna to anyone seeking a comfortable, stylish, and well-located place to stay in this beautiful town. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Nadia is an amazing host, her response time is impeccable. The unit is beautiful and has a modern feel. I love the attention to detail, especially in the kitchen. The pictures do not do it justice! Thank you Nadia, we will definitely come again and again.

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

it was great will come agiain. small things has been discussed and i am sure Margo will sort them

We really enjoyed our stay in Daniel’s house where you have your own jetty and walking distance to cafes and restaurants. Audrey was very helpful during check in and later on when we had a power shortage. Daniel is also very kind and helpful and an extra plus is that we could use the double kayak which really enhanced our stay. We would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay here, it was peaceful and quiet with gorgeous views. Tendai was very responsive to all queries and always available. It was clean, spacious, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and braaing. The lagoon is literally across the road, the kids loved exploring and finding items like rays, crabs, expired jellyfish etc. It was definitely a memory making holiday and would highly recommend this option.

We stayed the 3th time at the Cliff house. The house has an amazing view on the oceaan and the Heads. Its a wonderfull place to enjoy your family time

We stayed two nights and felt so rested and relaxed on the first day ! Amazingly peaceful and relaxing home. The pool was clean and a definite bonus. 10 out of 10 home to stay in. Morne is exceptional in managing this home and very friendly.

What a wonderful tranquil place to stay! We enjoyed the breakfast and meals in the conservatory overlooking the beautiful surroundings. Accomodation was clean and very roomy. We had we all had a wonderful stay there and were so sad to be leaving it. Thank you and we felt very safe throughout our stay

What an absolutely amazing stay! The house itself is beautifully positioned, large and airy, with all the amenities you could need for a family stay. The convenience of an air fryer, dishwasher and washing machine is a must when travelling with kids. The walk along Fisherman’s Walk, accessed from the garden gate is breathtaking and the beaches are spotless and unspoilt. Activities along the Garden Route are easily accessible so this is ideal if you want to be positioned in close proximity to Knysna, Plett and Storms River 😁 Jossie, who meets you on arrival, is so friendly and helpful! Jacques also made loads of suggestions and recommendations before we arrived! An absolute pleasure and 5* experience. We will definitely be back.

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.

A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the stunning view from the balcony — both in the morning and at sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking. The place is spotless, fully equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!

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

We Stayed at Andrei’s place, the location and the apartment itself were amazing, perhaps even better than the pictures. The only downside I would say is the bedroom on top of the coffeeshop as it gets quite noisy from 6-7 in the morning. Other than that, definitely recommend it and will visit back again.

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.

What a great stay!! Friendly and helpfull hosts

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

Great stay! Two favourite spots were definitely the stoep with beautiful view and nice patio furniture, main bedroom with big sliding windows with another great view.
