Location & Setting

The guesthouse rests on leafy Leisure Isle, a peaceful enclave within Knysna Lagoon that’s ideal for slow seaside strolls, sunrise runs, and relaxed cycling. Bollard Bay’s protected beach is minutes away, while the dramatic Knysna Heads and viewpoint lie just across the channel. Native gardens and quiet lanes create a calm, village feel, yet you’re a short drive from Knysna’s waterfront, markets, and eateries. The setting pairs coastal charm with easy access to Garden Route highlights, including forest walks, ocean lookouts, and scenic drives that link Knysna with Plettenberg Bay and Wilderness.

Rooms

Accommodation comprises six thoughtfully appointed double rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Rooms feature quality linens, smart TVs with satellite channels, ceiling fans, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and reliable Wi-Fi. Select configurations suit families, including a kid-friendly annex connected to one of the suites. Décor leans nautical and contemporary, with warm textures and calming tones. Several rooms open toward the garden or pool terrace for airy indoor-outdoor living. Practical touches—like convenient storage, comfy seating, and well-lit bathrooms—enhance comfort for short breaks and longer Garden Route stays alike.

Facilities

Days here are pleasantly unhurried: linger over an included breakfast, then unwind beside the sparkling pool or wander to the lagoon’s edge. A casual honesty bar keeps refreshments handy, and complimentary Wi-Fi supports planning and light work. Secure parking is available, and the leafy garden and terrace offer inviting spaces to read or socialize. Beyond the gate, guests enjoy kayaking, beach time, birding, and cycling; seasonal whale watching (July–November) and boat trips are easily arranged in town. Championship golf, forest hikes, and ocean viewpoints complete a well-rounded Knysna escape.
