We were very impressed with Mike the owner who was a fountain of knowledge, suggesting the best local hotspots to visit. He immediately made us feel very welcome, relaxed and at home. He was on hand and present throughout breakfast, which was absolutely delicious with plenty of choice and plenty of it. The breakfast chef and our room cleaner were both friendly and full of smiles at all times. We loved our comfortable room, very spacious, spotlessly clean with everything we needed and could want. We had two wonderful nights sleep on a super comfortable bed. Great idea having an honestly bar filled with a great variety of drinks. The views from our room were spectacular!

Calm, friendly atmosphere in a stunningly beautiful location. It’s a pleasure to communicate with the hostess, who is a very interesting and multifaceted personality. Marisa pays attention to details to make your stay as comfortable as possible. There is an opportunity to be as autonomous as possible and at the same time use a common space. We had the opportunity to have breakfast and dinner overlooking the bay on a beautiful terrace. The room even included beach towels in a bag. At our request, Marisa gave us a beach umbrella and chairs for our trip to the beach. Very quiet. There were no power outages like in many places in South Africa.

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.

    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.
