The Knysna Belle Guesthouse boasts wonderful views on the Knysna lagoon, as the privileged and quiet setting is just amazing. It's on a peaceful island, with security on the access road, so no fences and barbed wires anywhere on the island. The free use of the bicycles and the kayak and canoe are also a nice extra. The house itself was beyond expectation: spacious, nice and luxurious. I can only recommend.

Leisure Isle is one of our favourite destinations. The location was superb right on the lagoon with beautiful views of the heads. It is peaceful and tranquil with the room equipped with comfortable beds. The staff were absolutely amazing especially when our car battery died and it was pouring with rain. Thank you for all your hospitality, assistance and an amazing stay!

Charming small guest house facing the lagoon. We got a spacious room with a patio. Bathroom was spotlessly clean. The kind of boutique stay we had hoped for.

The hotel - surely once a house - is a bit older but gracious and comfortable. The service is excellent. Very welcoming and homey. The breakfast was very good, and the honor bar a great touch. We enjoyed the living room, the patio in front, all with a great view of the lagoon. Lovely morning walks along the water. Oh, and we had a surprise car wash the morning we left! We would absolutely stay here again.

Michelle and Gabby as well as the entire team are outstanding hosts making Knysna Belle a true „home away from home“. Will be back for the 3rd time next February.

Knysna Belle We had an absolutely amazing stay at the Knysna Belle. It is a lovely property with fantastic views and such a tranquil location. The welcome we received was warm and our room was top notch. Leisure Usland is lovely and I wished we could stay longer

This is an exceptional guest house. Our room was spotless, the bed extremely comfortable and the bathroom had a walk-in shower that for once did not leave a swimming pool all over the floor. The breakfast was perfect and in beautiful surroundings. The views over the lagoon are stunning. It's quiet and within walking distance of a fantastic restaurant/bar - Lindy's Table.
