Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Knysna

5 Stars – A Slice of Paradise in Knysna! We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home in Knysna. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — the hosts greeted us warmly and had thoughtfully left snacks, a bottle of wine, and even a delicious cake for us to enjoy. Such a special touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The house itself is stunning — spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful location made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved spending time on the patio, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying relaxed evenings by the fire. The location is ideal too — just a short drive from town, yet far enough to feel like a private retreat. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

We really enjoyed our stay here. lovely home, fully equipped with everything we needed. Everything is in good condition unlike other places we've rented. The best part was the location, a few steps to the nearest bridge to get into Thesen Town. We didn't drive at all when we stayed there. Also lovely to walk within the Thesen Estate in the evenings. Faith was incredibly friendly and thorough upon check in. We were very pleased with our stay.

We loved our stay at the house in Belvidere. It was very private with fantastic views from the balcony. We enjoyed chilling out and eating our breakfast looking out at the stunning scenery, lagoon and birdlife. We even saw The Knysna Lourie, as it flew up to the balcony. The Belvidere Estate is very well kept and we loved our time there. The Bell Pub and The Oak Leaf Cafe were very welcoming with lovely food. Gail was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We would definitely love to come back and we would recommend to friends this beautiful area and house.

A great spot by the Knysna lagoon. What impresses most is the stylish and elegant house with Japanese design. It's not too large and not too small - feels elegant and cozy at the same time. We enjoyed the wood stove, the really nice braai area and most of all the location. As a bonus, it's five minutes walk by the lagoon to the newly refurbished Food Lovers Market, too. Our host was professional, friendly and really sharp. Would book again.

Wonderful Stay with a Stunning View! We had an amazing stay at Silvia’s Cottage! The view is absolutely breathtaking, the neighborhood is peaceful, and the apartment was spotless, lovingly decorated and very clean. Silvia welcomed us warmly and gave us a lovely farewell. She was also very quick and helpful in communication. The area is simply beautiful, and we can easily imagine coming back here again. Highly recommended!

We had a fabulous stay!!! Lauren was extremely responsive and welcoming. The space was absolutely beautiful, neat, private and overall lovely. Anyone looking for some time away & love being surrounded by nature, this is perfect!

We had a fabulous stay at The Cliff House. Dirk was easy to communicate with, met us on arrival and showed us how everything worked. The house itself has incredible views and very well equipped with everything you need to make yourself at home. The jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, the fireplace and being able to spot whales from the balcony were all special moments for our family. The house is in a very safe area with the supermarket and centre of town an easy 10min drive away and it was a great place to base ourselves from whilst doing day trips to other parts of the garden route. The daily cleaning service meant we could fully relax and enjoy our surroundings. Thank you Dirk, it was a pleasure to stay at this wonderful property.

We felt at home as soon as we entered the house. Thesen island is an artificial paradise perfect to relax when travelling along the garden route. We particulary enjoyed having a swim in front of the house when the tide was high.

lovely little cottage that is so beautifully decorated. The outside areas are so beautiful and there is a lovely water feature just outside the door which makes the whole area just feel so soothing and definitely not like in the middle of a big city! I was traveling through Knysna with a vehicle full of things as I am relocating and Lesley even made space in her garage so that I could safely park my car in it as the vehicle couldn't lock. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone! lovely accommodation and a super lovely host!

We stayed at Vista Laguna over the holidays! It was fantastic and we will definitely be back!

We stayed in one of Tine’s luxury glamping caravans as the room on AirBnB got double booked. Tine solved the matter very professionally and upon arrival she was very friendly and helpful. Thanks for our short but beautiful stay!

Colette's Airbnb was divine! The place is truly breathtaking, the pictures are accurate and the space is thoughtfully put together with everything you could possibly need. She is highly responsive checking in with you to see if there is anything you need to elevate your experience. The Airbnb is nestled in a peaceful nature reserve overlooking the Knysna estuary. It is located out of the hustle and bustle of town, with Knysna's hotspots just a stone throw away for your convenience. Colette went above and beyond host duties, offering trips to town when she was heading out, showing me lovely places to visit and sending exclusive restaurant offers of the day! She is a joy, and I would recommend her place to anyone looking to relax, unplug and reset. Colette's Lovely Airbnb is the only choice to make. I look forward to booking it in the summer and any other time I happen to be in Knysna.

Great host, he gave me local recommendations and places to try even on drive over, and welcomed me in person which was much appreciated after a long journey. The apartment was very comfortable, private with secure parking. Good WiFi. My only negative is that I wish I’d stayed longer ! Highly recommended

Beautifully located within the Thesen Island precinct with access to its facilities this unit is a penthouse with convenient access from your parking directly to the unit. Well maintained and kept well by Douglas who communicates clearly and is always close by if you need additional support.

We had a lovely weekend at Gael’s place. It is in the most beautiful and peaceful area. The cottage was spotless with all the amenities one could possibly need. We were made to feel right at home and our hosts were lovely and accommodating. We will definitely be back in the future!

My parents recently stayed at Vera N’s Airbnb and they absolutely LOVED it! 🥰 From the moment they arrived, they felt right at home. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had such a peaceful atmosphere — exactly what they needed for a relaxing getaway. Vera was incredibly thoughtful and welcoming, making sure they had everything they needed. They haven’t stopped talking about how comfortable the bed was and how much they enjoyed the little touches that made the stay special. Highly recommend this lovely spot — thank you, Vera, for taking such great care of them! 💕🌟 ⸻

Joys accommodation was exactly as described and like the photos. The flatlets were clean and had stunning views of the Knysna lagoon. Joy was responsive, accommodating and very friendly. Highly recommend staying at this accommodation amd great value for money.

Pincushion Cottage was wonderful, and Greg and Lucille were great hosts. One of the beat Airbnb places that we have stayed!

We had a lovely stay. The apartment is very spacious and well-equipped with everything you need. The view of the Knysna heads from the bedroom and balcony is stunning!

What a great stay!! Friendly and helpfull hosts

The accommodation was perfect for our needs.

This place is amazing and exceptionally beautiful. Everything is within walking distance, the restaurants are great. Heather thank you by the time we got there we had all the information and more for activities places to eat and all. We enjoyed and loved our stay.

Our family had a wonderful stay in Brenton. We didn’t want to leave this beautiful place. We loved our amazing view and peaceful surroundings. The home was clean and more than adequately kitted out. Probably the best Air BnB we have stayed in. Thank you for being an amazing host and thinking of the small touches, like the risks and milk in the fridge upon arrival. We will definitely be back.
