We had a fantastic stay at Andre's place in Knysna. Thesen Island is such a great, central place to stay in Knysna. The house was perfect for our family, and catered for our every need. We will definitely be returning.

Waterfront Thesen Villa - Mooring, Pool & Inverter
From booking to checkout Doug and Carla were great hosts. Doug accommodated a late check-in, helped us register with security to access Thesen Island, and took us to the property for a walk-through. The home was spotless, incredibly spacious, and had every utility and modcon you need. A pleasant surprise was the addition of a pool between booking and arrival. The outside space and boat deck make for the ultimate Knysna vacation spent on the water. The restaurants and bars of Thesen Harbour Town are a 5 min walk. We will be back. Thank You!

Waterfront- C25 Knysna Quays with pool
A stunning home in an ideal location. right on the water and walking distance to the fantastic local restaurants. The home is elegant and well equipped with space for a full family to enjoy the lagoon as well as pool area. The hosts were super friendly and went the extra mile. I highly recommend this home for your family vacation.

Weavers Rest: Lakefront Bliss & Water Sports
Beautiful, spacious house in stunning and peaceful surroundings. The deck area was superb and our favourite bit of the house. The grounds around the property were fantastic, with access to the lagoon for kitesurfing and swimming, as well as tennis and a gym. The neighbours were super friendly, with a real community and safe feel to the complex. This was the perfect spot for us as a group for a relaxed and sporting week and we would love to come back! Ingrid was a great host, with lots of helpful suggestions and recommendations. We were welcomed and checked out by the cleaners who were incredibly nice and helpful.

Ocean Villa in Brenton-on-Sea with pool
Our family loved everything about Anabella’s beautiful home.The house truly felt like an home away from home.Everything we could want was supplied and the house was spotless. Anabella went to extra lengths to make it possible for a disabled friend to visit us on one occasion. Our Grandchildren visiting from the UK particularly loved the sparkling swimming pool. We will definitely visit Anabella’s home on future visits to Knysna.

Two bedroom house with a pool.
Beautiful house with beautiful views of the valley. Very spacious. Great decor.

Entire house with flatlet
This was a safe area where we could walk through the neighborhood. It is close to everything in Knysna. It was very clean and having a washer was really helpful. Wifi seemed slow. The property has a lot of steps, but that was fine for our family. It was nice to have multiple seating areas so we could sit together or spread out when we wanted to. Host offered information on local attractions and had coffee, milk, and sugar for when we arrived.

Separate Private Room, Own Entrance, Leisure Isle
Very comfortable and neat. Lovely host and such a beautiful location!

Waterside home on Thesen Marina
What an amazing place you have Cally! Thank you for allowing us into your lovely home in Knysna. Situated on Thesen Island, the home is ideally located- close to all amenities. One thing to note is that if you plan to visit in winter, the house is rather cold. Cally was very helpful in switching on the under floor heating, which- after a little while warmed up the place nicely!

Waterfront bungalow private beach and boat mooring
We had a wonderful time and the kids loved it. Such a beautiful placed! We felt like we were in heaven staying there. We will definitely be back again and will recommend this place to others as well.

The White House Apartment
Catherine’s home exceeded my expectations, and already from the description, I expected something special. As hosts, Catherine and her husband give you a professional 5+* experience without any hint of interference. I initiated a personal introduction myself and they responded happily. The home is incredible: the location, the views and everything you may need inside for a comfortable, 5* quality stay ; quiet and private; elegantly decorated. The big thing for me was good WiFi and no power disruption for work, and I couldn’t have been better set up than Catherine’s home. All in all, highly recommended and certainly now in my list to return.
