We enjoyed a lovely eight night stay at the Lazy Lion. Ella & Ricardo are the perfect hosts, very welcoming and friendly as were their staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was large, spotlessly clean and comfortable with a balcony and view over the lagoon. The pool area and gardens were fabulous. The breakfast was exceptional, offering freshly made buffet choices every morning, followed by a cooked option and was by far the best of our travels in SA. We will definitely return again next year and have already recommended it to friends.

Our stay was unforgettable! There is absolutely nothing to complain about! The cottages are large, new, stylishly furnished, absolutely clean and comfortable. There is a sports trampoline, a swimming pool and peacocks walking around on the territory:) The territory is very well maintained. Shannon is a very nice owner, she was always in touch and helped with our questions. When we return to Knysna, we will definitely stay here again!

We had a beautiful stay at this stunning house. Vanessa met us at the gate and showed us around. We got offered a room upgrade and had a few cute cats visiting us in the morning at the terrace. We felt very safe and had the best sleep in the most comfortable bed. There are many restaurant options around for delicious breakfast and dinner that comes with spectacular views.

Linda

From

United Kingdom

The service was absolutely excellent and the hosts went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The rooms were serviced every day (even though it was over the New Year's weekend), and we had the most fabulous daily breakfast that I've ever experienced in similar accommodation - especially the freshly baked pastries. The property is set in a lovely leafy area, with a beautiful garden and space to relax and enjoy a BBQ.

We loved absolutely everything about this place!! Leisure Isle is the best location to stay in Knysna, beautiful and safe. The house itself and guest rooms are decorated with such a great taste that they look like a piece of art! Room is large and very clean, bed is comfortable with the highest quality linen. We stayed in the room Bonny and enjoyed a nice little garden with the private entrance. Diane and Rob are the great hosts, they are very passionate about their place and do everything to make guests feel at home. Breakfast is fresh, rich, unique, diverse and unbelievably tasty! We travel a lot and stayed in many different guest houses in South Africa and other countries, and concluded that One on Bollard is THE best! We highly recommend it to all travelers and no doubt we will come back again!
