We are so happy to have this memory with our daughters in such a beautiful house with loving people in a family environment. Regarding the house, the place, and the service, everything was perfect: cleanliness, wonderful location. They make you feel at home and not have to worry about anything other than enjoying your vacation. A special mention goes to the breakfast, delicious and all homemade with lots of love and care. Thank you very much, Diane and Rob, we will certainly be back.

Relax in Leisure Island in a perfect Bed&Breakfast

One on bollard is a perfect vacation getaway. The hosts are most welcoming, the rooms are big and comfortable and the breakfast is beyond delicious. Everything is home made starting from the butter and bread. They also serve a special of the day which is a creative sweet or savory dish. Leisure Island as a destination is a must in South Africa due its beautiful scenery and relaxed atmosphere. I can highly recommend!
