On the second level the house has 5 full bathrooms, 5 bedrooms and a family bar that boasts the best views in the house.

An array of activities can be enjoyed in the surrounding area, including golf at either the Jack Nicklaus course at Simola or the Championship course at Pezula. The Knysna Waterfront is 2 km away.

An oasis in the City. Clean, huge, open spaces. The jacuzzi was a nice extra. Only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer! Quiet, incredible views, yet just a very short drive to the City & waterfront. Excellent WiFi. My husband loved the pool table. It’s a place that we will definitely return to once we’ve moved to South Africa one day. It has a feeling of Zen from the minute you walk in the front door.

This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the holiday home's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax.

The property was fabulous! The property managers were easy to contact and any requests were actioned quickly. The property is very well kept and beautifully decorated which creates a very homey and relaxing space. The pool was clean and a great addition. The beds were comfortable and there was enough ventilation including windows and ceiling fans. the outdoor wood bath was also a lovely touch. The property had some relaxing music playing when we arrived at the property, which was another great touch :) There was plenty of utensils and 2 fridges, so we had enough space for food and drinks. Great selection of teas as well. The area felt and appeared safe and clean. This was evident in the fact that not many of the houses had excess security (as one usually sees in other parts of South Africa).

Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.
