Spent 5 nights at the peaceful Knysna Belle on Leisure Isle Knysna. The peninsular is a lovely place with a small beach, pleasant walks and stunning views of the heads. The property is a relaxing place with a beautiful garden and lounge. It was so nice to sit in the garden for an excellent breakfast (especially the scrambled eggs which... More

The property is stunning, our room - Emu (just to the left of the front door - with its own large balcony and stunning views towards the sea was comfortable and spacious. A good breakfast was served at the back of the property overlooking the pool with tables laid out for each room. Guests would arrive for breakfast and quietly... More

We had a nice stay and will return - as soon as we come again to visit SA Thank you for a great breakfast - and the friendliest staff we had during our Sa-Experience! The room we had was a large one - looking towards the lagoon - with a little private space in front of the room. (Nautilus)

Unfortunately we only had one night at the Knysna Bell and wish we had had longer. The house was in a very peaceful location and we were looked after extremely well. We were only sorry that we couldn't make use of the bikes and kayaks but a good excuse to go back!

This was a beautiful property in a beautify location. We should have stayed longer and therefore must return. Our host Christopher made us very welcome and helped us find some very nice restaurants. The facilites at the Knysna Belle make this a real home from home. One small problem was that our bathroom really needs an upgrade to match the... More

The Knysna Belle is a beautiful house located directly on the lagoon. Hospitality first rate, breakfasts fantastic and the excellent kayaks and bikes mean you have wonderful opportunities to explore the island. Peace and tranquility of the location means this is the most relaxing and refreshing break, you could wish for. Can't wait to go back and stay for longer... More

Location, location, location add to that the lovely staff Gillianne and Bianca and then the stunning Captains Quarters and you have the making of a perfect stay, it really does have the WOW factor. Also loved the use of the bikes and kayaks, just a shame we only were there for 4 days.

We stayed three nights at the Krysna Belle. At arrival we were impressed about this accommodation at Leisure Island. We where welcomed by Christopher and he showed us around. Our travel agent made arrangements for the Hettie room, but as it turned out, this room is part of a family room together with the Fredheim room. They share the same... More

Wow, what can I say? Perfect for two honeymooners. Went there on very short notice, but still got the best treatment!! Christopher and his staff were very friendly and always willing to help. The view of the bay from our room was breathtaking. Absolutely loved every second.
