Victoria Bay Holiday Cottage
An absolute gem of a spot, over looking the sea on a quiet private road. Absolutely perfect for our family of 4. Everything provided including beach toys for the kids and board and card games. There is also so much to do in the area even when the weather was not perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our evenings in the hot tub stargazing. Thanks so much!

Edge of Eden - Cheesewood
Lovely house, great location and views. Lots of space and windows - and the hot tub was excellent. Aubrey was incredibly helpful and very friendly. Thanks for a great stay.

Teachers Cottage on Old School Farm
Teachers cottage way exceeded my expectations! Private, peaceful and beautifully surrounded by nature. Well decorated and has everything you need. Candy and Ritchie were both wonderful hosts, friendly, very responsive and always willing to help. Loved my stay at Old School Farm!

3 Bedroom Holiday home with sea views & hot tub

Romantic cottage with wildlife views and hot tub
Amazing experience! Fantastically appointed cabin in a peaceful spot overlooking a waterhole. Delighted to watch the buffalo and eland taking a dip and drinking on our first morning. Lustine was an amazing host who patiently and enthusiastically answered my many questions! Highly recommended.

Elephant Rest Cottage- 200m from the forest
Great cottage in a great location. We visited in winter and the wood burning oven warms up the entire house. Great bedrooms, comfy and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to be self sufficient. The deck looks out over a fantastic magic garden. The garden has all sorts of hidden corners that must be explored. We picked our dinner veggies, grape fruits, oranges and lemons - there is loads more. If we could give this place 6 out of 5 we would have. Loved it

Sedge Cottage
We enjoyed our stay so much! It was so peaceful and so manageable with two little kids. We woke up to the orioles singing and enjoyed looking for the tortoises every day in the garden. We look forward to staying again!

Zen Paradise - Farm Cottage
Beautifully constructed house and great stmosphere.

Milkwood Cottage - Seaview Serenity
Six of us spent two nights at Milkwood Cottage and felt right at home. The place looked the same as in the photos and was decorated with love for detail. One of the rooms is a walk-through room. A big plus is the immediate location on the beach. Shopping facilities are about 10 minutes away by car. In addition, the communication with Erick and Alicia was very straightforward, messages were answered quickly. An absolute recommendation!

TwoAngels - Lovers Nest (Honeymoon Cottage)
we loved every moment at The Love Nest. so peaceful and beautiful panoramic views over the lagoon! perfect place for a romantic getaway with your loved one!

Peace of Nature
Picca is an attentive and considerate host who sent us local updates about weather, closed/open beaches etc. throughout our stay. we ended up not bringing our dogs, but Picca had paid extra attention to ensuring they would also have a great stay. Lake Brenton is magical and perfect if you're keen on a quieter holiday with all the perks of having Knysna super close by.

Comfortable, peaceful family home that is perfect for relaxing on Leisure Isle. The house is generous in its amenities and little luxuries that provide a homely feel. Quiet street and a short walk to both shops and the seafront. David was very helpful and thoughtful.

Cedar Manor
A little piece of paradise! Absolutely beautiful place and so peaceful and intimate. Hermien was the ultimate host from the start with efficient communication and clear check in instructions. We received a warm welcome with little treats waiting. The place is equipped with all the basic necessities. My husband, 8 year old daughter and 74 year old mother thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will most certainly be back 🫶

Martin's Cottage
An impeccable place to stay! The accommodation is crisp and clean, with a breathtaking sea view. Bedding smells fresh, and the towels are pristine white. A thoughtful touch with welcoming Lindt chocolate and fresh fruit. Extra beach towels were available, making the stay even more convenient. The place looks brand new, with a stunning electronic head fan adding to the comfort. Definitely a 5-star experience! Thank you...

Cottage on a small farm in the Harkerville Forest
Lovely cabin. Very peaceful with lots of trees and birds. Unlimited firewood which is great with the fireplace on cold days. Lots of playful dogs on the property that are friendly but protective too. Ideal for animal lovers. Also 2 beautiful horses grazing and some ducks on the pond. Nadja and Martin are very kind host and a great area right next to a nature reserve.
