Sand Cabin: Nima Lodge

DanielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a fantastic stay at Nima Lodge. The view is absolutely stunning – even more impressive than in the pictures. The lodge itself is beautifully designed, peaceful, and spotlessly clean. We loved how it blends into nature while still feeling modern and comfortable. You can really switch off and unwind here. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a quiet, scenic getaway – we would definitely come back!

The Gatehouse @ The River House Estate

KevinRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Lovely place in a beautiful and serene setting. We had some issues with hot water (geyser failure which does not happen often!) and power (normal in SA) and through it Andrew was very involved sorting it out quickly and keeping us informed right the way through. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will likely be back if staying in Knysna again.

Thesen Island Holiday House

JoanneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Leisure Isle Cottage

MichaelRating, 5 stars2 months ago
What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Romeo

HamedRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We Stayed at Andrei’s place, the location and the apartment itself were amazing, perhaps even better than the pictures. The only downside I would say is the bedroom on top of the coffeeshop as it gets quite noisy from 6-7 in the morning. Other than that, definitely recommend it and will visit back again.
