    It’s clean and spacious and the views are amazing. It’s especially ideal for a very large family or two families together. It’s good value for money. The jacuzzi is especially nice on a cold winter day.

Martin Strode
My father Dale Daniel Strode built our family home in 1985. It's a place where I have lived like a King and I'm certain you will too, A spacious, comfortable home with magical views, breath taking sunsets. With the sun favouring the north our garden boasts the richest green lawns and stately palms This place, we call quite simply "Your holiday home."
I have lived in Knysna my whole life. The Strode family are a part of the fabric that makes up Knysna. My time is spent with my 9 year old son Keana, my shipping container storage business and Strode House the 3 things I'm passionate about.
From the moment you turn off the N2 and begin heading up the hill to No 3 Ridge Drive You will feel you're heading somewhere amazing as the beauty glances past you through the gaps in the forest Forest, lakes and mountains flicker as you wind your way up. It's a beautiful neighbourhood to live in.
