Beachfront vacation rentals in Knysna

Beautiful place, perfect for a family. Marlisa was a great host. Highly recommend 👌

I don't understand the bad reviews at all The large villa is perfect for a stay in Knysna. First, it should be mentioned that the place can't be safer. The rooms are spacious and there was enough space for our group of five. The villa has a nice pool, BBQ as well as large dining areas. We would come back in a heartbeat.

This comfortable beach home was perfect for our family with lots of cozy beds for everyone. The view from the upper deck is fantastic; the perfect place to enjoy your dinner as a family or read a book as the sun is setting.

This house is beyond expectations. Fabulous for a multigenerational family vacation. Virtually independent lower floor suite. 2 families, 1 couple, 1 single, all had their own bathrooms. Enough bedrooms for 3 kids each to have own. Excellent outdoor spaces - rooftop, balcony, brai area - all set up for outside meals. Well-equipped kitchen. Well set up for handling beach days with warm shower outside front door and clothes line right there. Spacious entry way gives room for all the paraphanalia of a big group. Very safe roads and easy walks to gorgeous beaches. Very quiet in the off-season. Two local restaurants & a beach shop for essentials in easy walking distance. Many different day trip options for all ages. Overall, our family described the place as "epic".

The unit was stunning and very secure. I loved everything about it

We had a wonderful stay at Thesen Island. Hester, Georgie and Lorraine were all so accommodating and helpful.

Unbeatable views within easy walking distance from one of the best beaches in South Africa.

Our stay with Sonet was fantastic, our 5 border collies were accommodated due to the fenced garden in front. This was one of our main criteria. Thank you. The space was modern, well equipped and functional. Was great that the property had solar power backup should lead shedding have come our way. Well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and air fryer, microwave oven. Close to the beach although during our time there the walk way was under repair due to flood damage (municipal responsibility). Loved our stay and especially the peace and quiet and closeness to beach. Felt right at home. Great hosts will return

I had an unforgettable stay at Sparrow’s Nest in Sedgefield’s Cola Beach Conservancy. The home is beautifully maintained, with breathtaking ocean views, an infinity pool, and spacious balconies. The four air-conditioned bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen, and entertainment options like a bar and pool table made for a perfect getaway. Surrounded by nature, with the Goukamma Nature Reserve nearby, it’s an ideal retreat for relaxation and adventure. The host Gabriela was incredibly welcoming, ensuring a seamless stay and an amazing person. If you’re looking for luxury and tranquility along the Garden Route, Sparrow’s Nest is the perfect choice!

First thing, the pictures on AirBnB site don't do the place justice. when i got there my god i was very impressed. the place is beyond fabulous, the hospitality top notch and the food, ambience and the VIEW spectacular. Many thanks to Mr Owen

Wonderful location on the edge of the lagoon with views of the Knysna Heads. Beautiful property with all the required amenities.

We loved staying at this house! It has stunning views overlooking the Knysna lagoon, great security being on Thesen Island, good privacy from the neighbours, it's spacious, has a lovely pool deck for sunset drinks, it has comfortable furnishings and a friendly and responsive host. (Thank you Candy for sorting out the DSTV sound immediately when we reported it). We would be keen to stay here again. Thank you!

Diane and Rob are one of the loveliest people we‘ve met on our travel in SA. They cared about us like we are one family! Great location, amazing breakfast and everything you need is here! Diane and Rob pay attention to the small things you need like sunchairs, umbrella for the beach, insect repellent, etc.) Don‘t go anywhere else - stay here and relax to the fullest. Thank you Diane & Rob! We‘ll come back soon! :-)

Great place to stay at Garden Route and great value for money. The rooms are clean and spacious. Amazing views from the balcony over the ocean. Nico was a friendly host and provided us with great recommendations.

We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Honeymoon castle. The view we woke up to every morning was the perfect way to start the day. It definitely felt like we rested with the sights of seals, lots of birds and we even saw otters the one day. Will absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to have a peaceful honeymoon or even just a vacation. We will definitely be back one day.

Amazing house in a great location, it was better than we imagined it would be. Thanks Anthony, we will be back.

We had such a Nice stay! Everything was perfect. Thank you very much!

Beautiful home with the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks. Excellent outdoor entertainment and braai facilities. Incredible spaces indoors and outdoors to “chill”. Highly recommend.

It's a fantastic spot and beautiful home, and Dulcie is a great host. Everything was perfect!

We had an amazing time at Sanet's place in Buffelsbaai. We booked the trip for a friend's 30th birthday and everything from the accomodation, to Sanet's hospitality has made it a trip we will remember forever! I highly recommend staying at her place. I will definitely be back. Thank you, Sanet!

Linda and Klaus are fantastic hosts. They are very commited to helping you in any way they can. We had an amazing time! The place is charming, very clean, comfortable and you will find anything you need. We highly recommend it.

Morné is a great host, responds immediately to messages, welcomed us in person, had prepared freshly baked bread and a huge bowl of fruit for a us the location is stunning, views of the ocean, steep, but walkable short road leads down to the beach and coastline and up to the viewpoints on Knysa heads, perfect place, away from the buzz, but still close to everything

A little patch of heaven. Very well equipped kitchen for indoor & outdoor cooking. Lovely beds - good mattresses and beautiful linen. Gorgeous cabin for the 6 of us - just great having a little private beach and use of a canoe. The Loerie and Hoopoe visited us. Alison was very helpful in every way. We would love to come back one day.

From the moment we booked, Helene was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all my questions promptly. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by her in person, which immediately made us feel at home. The accommodation exceeded our expectations - spotless, beautifully maintained and impressively well equipped. We truly felt like special guests. Helene thoughtfully prepared a welcome with wine, coffee, rusks, muffins; which was such a lovely touch. She also shared great local tips, including restaurant specials, which we really appreciated. The location is fantastic!! Peaceful, safe, and with absolutely breathtaking views. This place is a real gem, and so is the host. We thorougly enjoyed our stay and would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.
