Amazing place! Our room was large, beautiful with a breathtaking view. The staff was very kind and helpful. It’s a tricky road upp to the castle, but once you’re there it’s worth everything. It’s not far from Knysna center, and it’s easy to go anywhere you want in the area.

Very nice and comfortable apartment. All, what you need, is present there! The kitchen is very well equipped. The owner explained very well how to get in (the entrance to the territory, the keys etc) but we have not seen her. Good beds, spacious rooms and bathrooms, very nice terrace! The place is close to Thesen Island. The place gives you a very safe feeling. Free tee/coffee. There was also oil, salt/pepper, sugar. Also "special" lamps in case there is no electricity - very useful! Good WiFi

Impeccable service by our host. Our unit is clean and well equipped for the stay. We had access to free bikes to explore the island, which was a nice touch. Highly recommended, and we would most certainly stay there again in future.

We loved absolutely everything about this place!! Leisure Isle is the best location to stay in Knysna, beautiful and safe. The house itself and guest rooms are decorated with such a great taste that they look like a piece of art! Room is large and very clean, bed is comfortable with the highest quality linen. We stayed in the room Bonny and enjoyed a nice little garden with the private entrance. Diane and Rob are the great hosts, they are very passionate about their place and do everything to make guests feel at home. Breakfast is fresh, rich, unique, diverse and unbelievably tasty! We travel a lot and stayed in many different guest houses in South Africa and other countries, and concluded that One on Bollard is THE best! We highly recommend it to all travelers and no doubt we will come back again!

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.
