Everything. Amazing host and staff. Room was perfect, clean, comfortable and equipped with all the essential things you need. Lots of free facilities to use including bikes and pool, but we especially loved trying out SUP when the tide was in. Leisure Island is a lovely, peaceful location, a short drive from Kynsna central/waterfront. Highly recommend the Nest, mostly because Tendai and the staff are so accommodating and helpful.

had a fantastic experience at Beacon House in Knysna. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and beautifully furnished—everything you could possibly need was thoughtfully provided. The sea view from the room was simply breathtaking and added so much to the relaxing atmosphere. A special thank you to Amarille, the manager, for her warm hospitality and professionalism—she truly went the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for luxury, cleanliness, and tranquility in Knysna. I would definitely stay here again!

The house was well stocked with all you would need for a short or long visit. The style and decor was fun and tastefully done. Loved the spacious bathrooms and walk in showers. Security was top notch and simple enough to manage. BBQ area was super. Hope to visit again in summer when we can take advantage of the massive terrace.

The cabin is in lovely farm like surroundings. When we arrived it was freezing cold outside but the inside fireplace quickly warmed the entire cabin. We loved the hot tub, barbeque area, decorations and appliances. Attention to detail, we had everything we needed, we loved our one night stay and will definitely be back. Lize, our hostess went out of her way to supply us with important personals that we forgot to bring.

Lovely cottage for a couple. Unbelievably well equipped with loads of storage space. Modern bathroom and cozy lounge area with TV. The small outside garden is lovely, lots of trees and birdsong. Quality cast aluminium table and chairs and two big gas plates embedded in a stainless steel table for cooking. There also is a portable braai.Lovely hosts
