Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Natures Valley

Beautiful home with great ammenities. We loved staying there. It was so peaceful with lots to do around us. If we didn't want to go out we could braai and swim and ride bikes which was lovely. Would definitely reccommend staying there.

A beyond five star stay! The stay was the most comfortable I have ever had with my elderly mom who has special needs for her mobility. Owen and his support are incredible and helpful. We literally never needed for a single thing. It is comfortable, clean, well located, all the possible utilities you might need. If you are going to Knysna, you have found your dream accommodation right here!

We stayed at Henk's place for a month and absolutely fell in love with the place. We wish we could stay forever. The house is so cozy and has a stunning view. The neighborhood is quiet and welcoming, there is even a nice little restaurant inside the gates. The best of all was Henk, himself. He was so friendly and helpful. He sent us lots of insider info on where to eat and what to do and was always quick to respond whenever we had questions. We hope we can come back someday!

I had a wonderful stay at this house by the river! The spacious and cozy veranda with its stunning view of the water was the highlight of my visit. It was perfect for enjoying morning coffee and watching the sunset in the evening. The house itself was very large, with plenty of rooms, each comfortably furnished and offering privacy. I was especially impressed by the kitchen — modern, convenient, and fully equipped for cooking any kind of meal. Check-in was quick and hassle-free, and the host was always available and provided all the necessary information. I left with only the best impressions. I will definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay at Leisure Isle. Tendai was responsive and welcoming. Highly recommended.

We had an incredible few days at the house in Knysna! It was so comfortable and inviting that we never wanted to leave. We enjoyed swimming, braaiing and relaxing while watching movies together. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, plus some lovely extras. The rooms were clean and the bed really comfortable .The owners Kate and Grant, were incredibly kind and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. I would absolutely love to return whenever possible. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it!

We have spent many holidays on Thesen Islands over the years, renting multiple homes on multiple islands. We have now found the perfect home for us. What you arrive to is so much better than any description or picture and exceeded all of our expectations without exception. It's a stunning North facing location with a wonderful view up the main canal. The home is very well appointed and most notably, for us and for my wife, spotlessley clean. Also very notably we were supplied with the small things that make a big difference and give you a sense of generosity by the hosts; toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, sponges, washing powder, hand soaps etc (you'll be shocked how many home stays don't supply the small things). We are so appreciative to Ilsebe for sharing her lovely home with us. 2026 is already booked. Can't wait! The Farrells

We felt at home as soon as we entered the house. Thesen island is an artificial paradise perfect to relax when travelling along the garden route. We particulary enjoyed having a swim in front of the house when the tide was high.

We had a lovely 2 night stay in the apartment. Easy and safe to walk to the lovely bars and restaurants on the quay. The apartment had everything we needed and was in a quiet area and very clean. Was able to park the car in secure garage and would be very happy to stay here again.

Thank you Viola . We had a very nice few days in Plett. What a magnificent view and garden with lots of birdlife. Very peaceful to sit on the patio and watch . The flat is very confortable. We had a lovely time . Many thanks.

A very comfortable stay with everything we needed.

Our stay with Douglas at Knysna was absolutely delightful. The location is superb, within easy walking distance of the Knysna waterfront and all its attractions. The room itself was immaculate, spotlessly clean, and beautifully presented. It was clear that a great deal of care had been taken to ensure guest comfort. The accommodation also boasted a full array of self-catering features, including a washing machine, dishwasher, and tumble dryer, making our stay even more convenient and enjoyable. Overall: We highly recommend Douglas at Knysna to anyone seeking a comfortable, stylish, and well-located place to stay in this beautiful town. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Great location and lovely apartment close to restaurants and tourist spots.

Very well located, good amenities and clean. Communication was excellent, Jan was friendly and helpful. View was beautiful from the flat. Highly recommended!

Lovely accommodation and great stay had by all. Cleaning lady was a great help with laundry and keeping the place neat and tidy. Rooms spacious and lovely living areas. We used the Braai twice during our stay and enjoyed this very much. Lovely outdoor area however it only really got sun during the morning for a short period of time however you are right beside the beach so we just ventured down there. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family. Thanks Linda!

Apartment was great, host was great but the views were just WOW!!!! Could have spent the entire trip just sitting on the balcony staring out to the ocean! 👌

Lovely house in a beautiful location. Great communication from the hosts.

Lovely place in a stunning area. Well kept home with all you could wish for as a great launch pad to discover the Garden Route. Very friendly and responsive hosts.

Our stay at this beautiful property was absolutely wonderful! The accommodation was not only comfortable but also exceeded our expectations in terms of ambiance—it was truly breathtaking. Kim was an exceptional host; she welcomed us warmly and took the time to give us a full tour of the house, which made us feel right at home from the very beginning. We had a truly memorable experience and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful getaway. Thank you, Kim, for your hospitality!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Thesen Island is a magical place, quiet, safe, yet close to the walkable restaurants and bars around the harbour. The villa was huge, light and airy, and has a prominent position with great views. It also has a pool, and it looked like a lot of the others didn't, so that is a bonus. Thoroughly recommended.

Thank You Anja and Raymond for a fantastic stay in your beautiful home. Everything was perfect and we loved every minute of our holiday. You were so quick to respond to messages and were so helpful with absolutely everything from Restaurants, to best beach to go to, and all amenities available. Getting our Entrance passes for the main gate was seamless and very quick and easy. We made friends with the guards who were fanstastic, cheerful and so helpful. We will definitely be back. Hopefully a friendship is borne from this. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Our stay was nothing short of magical! Nestled in the most beautiful surroundings, the property offered serene views and a peaceful atmosphere that made our getaway unforgettable. Waking up to such breathtaking scenery each morning felt like a dream. Ant & Caren were exceptional hosts—thoughtful, welcoming, and provided us with local recommendations, and their hospitality truly made our trip special. Without a doubt, we’ll be back! Thank you, Ant & Caren, for creating such a wonderful experience.

The villa is very spacious in a quiet neighborhood with stunning views. Lara has been responsive before and during our stay answering all our questions within minutes. The welcome cheese and fruit platter was also highly appreciated. We truly enjoyed our stay and will visit again!

What is not to like? A very beautiful home with quality materials and fully equipped kitchen. Very well decorated in terms of cosiness. Super clean, silent and safe. A bit further away from restaurants and city centre but with Checkers around the corner and the beautiful installed kitchen and braai options near the pool, that is not a big problem. Did we mention the beach at walking distance? We absolutely loved the place and would recommend it, as well for 2 couples as a family with children.
