Beautiful guesthouse with wonderful views across the bay. Walk around the island (Leisure Island) as the locals do is an absolute must. Mike's the best host. Do you play golf? Knysna Golf Club is totally recommended!

We booked a short holiday getaway for my mother and her husband, and they loved their stay at the Knysna Belle. They enjoyed all the activities offered, and we loved receiving photo updates of their kayak and cycling adventures or restful lounges by the pool. Thank you so much for making this holiday so special for them!

This is a mistake have stay over once in Knysna. A host is amazing - you can spend a night in a very safe environment, the apartment is very well equipped and super clean. Walking distance to sunset crusises from Thesen Island. We felt very well taken care of and had a wonderful relaxing evening and night in an amazing surroundings. Definitely worth recommending.

    I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

    The hotel is located on the beachfront, which makes it great for picnics,strolls at the beach and the hiking trails. The breakfast was delicious and had splendid views. The staff was friendly and always ready to help.

    Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

    My wife and I loved the beach viewing points. The private beach is really cool and awesome as you can walk further in without going deep in. We loved the cabins, access to town is easy and close by.
