Prospect Cottage is a 3-bedroom, furnished self-catering home for up to six people. This spacious home boasts a well-equipped large kitchen and open-plan lounge and dining room area. The living area features a TV with DStv viewing and a wood-burning, closed combustion fireplace, leading to an outside deck equipped with a gas braai. Enjoy the non-stop breath-taking views of the lagoon and Knysna Heads from the comfort of the elevated wooden deck, lounge, dining room and bedrooms. Whether it’s a friends, family or romantic getaway, Prospect Cottage is the perfect venue as you have the space and privacy of the entire house and garden. Surrounded by nature and wrapped in tranquillity, sip on your sundowners while enjoying the sun set over the lagoon. Linen, bath towels, soaps and WiFi are included.
Hi, we are Reinhardt and Danelle. We love travelling and have seen our fair share of self-catering accommodation. We look forward to meeting our fellow travellers and giving you the same great hospitality that we have been shown across the globe. See you soon
A mere five-minute walk to central Knysna, yet off the busy main road and located on a quiet cul-de-sac with off-street parking for two cars, this home is the definition of ideal location. Prospect Cottage is situated in the quiet area of Westhill/Paradise in a cul de sac with glorious views over the lagoon. The cottage is close to town, shops and restaurants as well as the Knysna Waterfront. The house does have security and an armed alarm system for your peace of mind. A perfect base from which to get to know Knysna, a gem of the Garden Route.
