Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
A super (and well-priced) option on Leisure Isle, with comfy beds, a small kitchenette, a refreshing small pool and friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent, and cooked fresh to order, and the rooms were made up punctually every day. As with many places in SA, wifi was spotty and not super-fast, but this is no fault of the guesthouse as Leisure Isle is not on the information super-highway! Overall, an excellent choice and certainly excellent value for money in an expensive town.

I enjoyed staying at the place. The area is isolated, safe, clean and appealing. The only downside is in winter it's very cold at the areas, would be nice to have an electric heater. Breakfast was very nice and the staff so friendly and helpful. Thanks.

Sehr schönes Guesthouse im landestypischen Style

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bietet reichlich Platz, auch im Garten und am Pool. Das Guesthouse liegt in einer ruhigen gehobenen Wohngegend auf einer Insel, die über einen Damm direkt mit dem Auto zu erreichen ist. Von hier aus lässt sich die Gegend von Knysna gut erkunden.

Nette guesthouse, geen aandacht van de eigenaar

Goede plek als je alleen een kamer zoekt met een zwembadje waar je aan kunt liggen voor redelijke prijs. Echter zeker geen 5*. De eigenaar is nauwelijks aanwezig en s' avonds is alles uitgestorven. Zelf de kaatsen bij t zwembad maar aangestoken voor wat sfeer. Ontbijt oke, maar trek er de tijd voor uit. Koffie duurt 10 min. en eitjes een half uur....

Ruhige Lage, ohne Meerblick. Grundsätzlich o.k., aber Preis-Leistung stimmt für südafrikanische Angebote nicht.
