Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Victoria Bay Holiday Cottage
An absolute gem of a spot, over looking the sea on a quiet private road. Absolutely perfect for our family of 4. Everything provided including beach toys for the kids and board and card games. There is also so much to do in the area even when the weather was not perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our evenings in the hot tub stargazing. Thanks so much!

Edge of Eden - Cheesewood
Lovely house, great location and views. Lots of space and windows - and the hot tub was excellent. Aubrey was incredibly helpful and very friendly. Thanks for a great stay.

The Dairy
I can't wait to return. The serene farm stay was perfect for a family break from the city's hustle and bustle. There was a sprawling lawn for the kids to enjoy themselves, and the crate of bats/balls, etc., was put to good use. It is eye-opening to see what the city kids are missing. The hike to the river was amazing, and not once did the kids have a chance to even think of saying they were tired, as nature kept them guessing around every corner. Linda was amazing from the initial communication post-booking until after checkout. Genuine farm hospitality!

Elephant Rest Cottage- 200m from the forest
Great cottage in a great location. We visited in winter and the wood burning oven warms up the entire house. Great bedrooms, comfy and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to be self sufficient. The deck looks out over a fantastic magic garden. The garden has all sorts of hidden corners that must be explored. We picked our dinner veggies, grape fruits, oranges and lemons - there is loads more. If we could give this place 6 out of 5 we would have. Loved it

Jersey Cottage
What a magical place! Linda is the most accommodating and tentative host we’ve ever had!! It is the perfect place for a family and truly an amazing spot for complete R&R. From the walks around the farm, swimming in the rockpools, the jungle gym, feeding the calves and the recommendation to see the 800+year old tree! What an amazing experience! Wish we had stayed much longer than 2 nights! We will definitely be back for a longer visit!

Knysna Lagoon - Seagulls nest
Linda was amazing- going out of her way to help us with additional nights after we ran into some issues. the units were lovely and the staff so helpful and friendly - moving our luggage to different units due to the additional nights. thank you!!

Fairhill Cottage
We had a great stay and will definitely be back!

Sedgefield Kingfisher Cottage - Kingfisher Drive
Our purpose for the weekend was us attending my son’s wedding.The accommodation was neat. I saw too late that all bedrooms were upstairs, so my mom of 80 years had to find a different accommodation when we got there. That was my mistake for not reading all the details. We expected a lake view from the house. However, we had a beautiful view of the mountains from the 2 bedrooms and the garden area from the bathroom. The fire place on the stoop could not be used due to rainy weather. Belinda is very responsive, we had a small problem with having no hot water the one evening and Belinda made sure that this was fixed first thing in the morning. All in all, we had a very comfortable & cosy stay. Thank you Belinda.🙌🏻

Favour farm cottage 2
wonderful farm setting to get away from the clutter - wish we had more time to explore the farms and surroundings. Amenities were excellent and as described. will always recommend to those interested.

Tranquility
Loved staying at Alma's place and will definitely go back! It's not within walking distance of the beach but less than a 2min drive and I had the most amazing time swimming in the lagoon with my dog! Everything in the lovely old house was spotlessly clean and the kitchen has everything you need - from high-quality pots and pans to a stick blender and digital coffee machine! Alma left some finishing touches which made us feel so welcome: fresh cut flowers, biscuits, and chocolates.

Family Unit - 6 Sleeper: House of Grace
Quite tranquil place, perfect for a quiet holiday away from the city. Exactly as advertised and very clean. The host went out of her way to make the stay even more pleasant with amazing local recommendations. Has a few activities to keep young kids occupied. Would definitely recommend!

Sedge Cottage
We enjoyed our stay so much! It was so peaceful and so manageable with two little kids. We woke up to the orioles singing and enjoyed looking for the tortoises every day in the garden. We look forward to staying again!

Milkwood Cottage - Seaview Serenity
Beautiful spot - we had a great stay.

TwoAngels - Lovers Nest (Honeymoon Cottage)
A perfect getaway! The space was even better than the pictures—cozy, quiet, and centrally located. Loved the thoughtful extras like Nespresso coffee, milk, and fast Wi-Fi. Would absolutely return!

Peace of Nature
Picca is an attentive and considerate host who sent us local updates about weather, closed/open beaches etc. throughout our stay. we ended up not bringing our dogs, but Picca had paid extra attention to ensuring they would also have a great stay. Lake Brenton is magical and perfect if you're keen on a quieter holiday with all the perks of having Knysna super close by.

Garden Road Cottage in Belvidere Knysna
We love staying at Paula's place, it is a divine cottage complete with everything one needs. Set in a beautiful garden, which our border collies just love. We thoroughly enjoy our holidays at Paula's place and will definitely be back again.

Wanderlust - 2 Bedrooms with Serene Mountain Views
This will be my number one place to stay every time I visit George.

Well-loved family cottage
What a quaint, comfortable and perfectly located cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Cedar Manor
A little piece of paradise! Absolutely beautiful place and so peaceful and intimate. Hermien was the ultimate host from the start with efficient communication and clear check in instructions. We received a warm welcome with little treats waiting. The place is equipped with all the basic necessities. My husband, 8 year old daughter and 74 year old mother thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will most certainly be back 🫶

Caddy Shack - Bright One Bedroom Private Cottage
We really enjoyed our stay @ the Caddyshack, its very peaceful and you instantly feel at home. Next time we will definitely stay longer

Thesen Beach House 2
Comfortable and within walking distance of restaurants and shops. Beautiful setting.

Knysna Cozy Hill Guest House with magnificent view
We really appreciated our stay at Sandra's place. It has a particularly well equipped kitchen and we loved the pool and views over Knysna. Also nice to be close to town but not right in the middle of it

Martin's Cottage
Quietly tucked away in the beautiful garden, this cottage is very private and peaceful with a full seaview and the sound of the waves surrounding you while sleep. A wonderful view over the ocean from your bed & perfect location with marvellous hosts makes this our first choice every time, thank you - see you again soon! 🔆

Cottage on a small farm in the Harkerville Forest
Lovely cabin. Very peaceful with lots of trees and birds. Unlimited firewood which is great with the fireplace on cold days. Lots of playful dogs on the property that are friendly but protective too. Ideal for animal lovers. Also 2 beautiful horses grazing and some ducks on the pond. Nadja and Martin are very kind host and a great area right next to a nature reserve.
