Guesthouse vacation rentals in Knysna

We had a lovely stay! We were in the most perfect location for the start of the Knysna Half Marathon. The space was clean & had the most incredible views. We will for sure be back! 🎉 Thank you Verity!

We had and amazing stay with Irina at Ambiente. Irina was most helpful and responsive from the start of the process, and even nicer to meet in person. Such an amazing host. The property itself is ideally located, close to Leisure Island and the beach, but also quiet, serene and peaceful. The room was clean, immaculate, and we had no issues at all. We feel lucky to have spent Christmas at Irinas, and will most definitely visit again.

I’d go for more than 5 stars! Awesome stay! Such a cozy place that we felt like staying in three out of the four evenings we were with Mark and Liz. Mark helped us with the barbecue and was super helpful with suggestions. The place has anything one can think of. You name it! The tiniest detail: they thought about it! Highlight: Roxie, George, Bella and Sushi. Dogs and Cats. Recommend it 100%!!!

A true favorite spot of mine!

Beautiful views of the lagoon right from the cottage. Amazing garden with cute animals, sweet cats, dogs, rabbits, chicken etc. Leah and JD went out of their way to make us feel at home and made sure that our 1 year old had enough toys to play with. They may even name one of the baby chicks after him! :) from here it’s easy to visit all the great places in the surroundings, such as the Knysna islands and Brenton at Sea. Thanks a lot for having us!!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Brenton-on-Sea, thanks to our incredible host! She went above and beyond to make our New Year’s Eve special with thoughtful touches like sparkling wine, and our dog was spoiled with everything we could have asked for. The accommodation was perfect, offering all the amenities one could hope for, including Nespresso machine and pods, multiple TVs (incl. in every bedroom), and even an extra storage room stocked with beach gear. The location couldn’t be better – just a short, easy stroll to the beach and local eatery, which made it so relaxing to enjoy the ocean without needing to drive anywhere. Our host’s warm hospitality and attention to detail made this a memorable getaway for our family of four (plus a fur kid), and we can’t wait to visit again!

We had a lovely 3 nights at Allan Grove. We got in later than expected, and in the pouring rain, and Brian gave us a warm welcome and made us feel right at home. The garden is so beautiful and the photos dont do the place justice. The decor is lovely and the couch so comfortable to snuggle down into. It was the comfort and privacy that me and my family needed after weeks of camping at busy campsites. He recommended a great grocery store and we were able to cook up a feast. Thanks Brian, we’ll be back!

This place is very special and gave us a beautiful night and we enjoyed the stay.

It was a lovely stay at Aneryne's cottage. We loved the view from the terrace, the vibrant wildlife around us and really enjoyed all the amenities this little gem had to offer. Aneryne and her little darlings were wonderful hosts - super friendly, fun and very helpful with tips about the area. We will definitely come back if we are in the Knysna area again and would highly recommend a stay.
