This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the holiday home's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax.

The property was fabulous! The property managers were easy to contact and any requests were actioned quickly. The property is very well kept and beautifully decorated which creates a very homey and relaxing space. The pool was clean and a great addition. The beds were comfortable and there was enough ventilation including windows and ceiling fans. the outdoor wood bath was also a lovely touch. The property had some relaxing music playing when we arrived at the property, which was another great touch :) There was plenty of utensils and 2 fridges, so we had enough space for food and drinks. Great selection of teas as well. The area felt and appeared safe and clean. This was evident in the fact that not many of the houses had excess security (as one usually sees in other parts of South Africa).

    The resort truly offers everything you need to relax and recharge your batteries after a long year. The location is excellent. The Kids Club was a fantastic benefit and the two staff, Philani and Akhona made is great fun. Kids could not wait to go everyday. The waterfront villas gives you a unspoilt view of the nature reserve, Thessen Island and Knysna Heads. The private waterways at the resort means easy launching of your own watercraft.
