Garden Flat - Floods from Heaven

DraymondRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had such an amazing stay. I needed a place at a moment's notice. Desiree went out of her way and allowed me to check in early. Even though she wasn't there to receive me she had made all the arrangements to have the unit ready for me. She asked her son-in-law to bring me coffee and rusks. I enjoyed the most beautiful sun sets. It was so quiet and extremely safe. Desiree is such an amazing host and a lovely person. Thank you, Desiree. I will be visiting again hopefully soon.

My partner, Michelle, and I had a fantastic stay at Heidi’s place. The apartment is perfectly located within walking distance of the waterfront, making it easy to explore the area. We especially loved starting our mornings with coffee at Trinity Coffee, conveniently located just downstairs. Heidi was a pleasure to communicate with—responsive and helpful throughout. We highly recommend her apartment for a comfortable and convenient stay!

Leisure Isle Retreat, Knysna, South Africa

RichieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!
