We had a beautiful stay at this stunning house. Vanessa met us at the gate and showed us around. We got offered a room upgrade and had a few cute cats visiting us in the morning at the terrace. We felt very safe and had the best sleep in the most comfortable bed. There are many restaurant options around for delicious breakfast and dinner that comes with spectacular views.

Staying at Mount joy was even better than we could have imagined. We enjoyed the view over the lagoon a lot and were crazy about dog Gilbert. He's an angel. Owners David and Johan were very kind and friendly as well and made us feel at home. We very much hope that we have the opportunity to come back here!

We loved absolutely everything about this place!! Leisure Isle is the best location to stay in Knysna, beautiful and safe. The house itself and guest rooms are decorated with such a great taste that they look like a piece of art! Room is large and very clean, bed is comfortable with the highest quality linen. We stayed in the room Bonny and enjoyed a nice little garden with the private entrance. Diane and Rob are the great hosts, they are very passionate about their place and do everything to make guests feel at home. Breakfast is fresh, rich, unique, diverse and unbelievably tasty! We travel a lot and stayed in many different guest houses in South Africa and other countries, and concluded that One on Bollard is THE best! We highly recommend it to all travelers and no doubt we will come back again!

We stayed over for the Knysna half marathon and we were so pleased with everything at Pearl View Guest House. Marycke and Conni are great hosts and the chef prepares delicious breakfasts and dinners - we didn't even leave the guesthouse to go and eat in town. Sundowners on the stoep with the sun setting over the lagoon is a must. We will definitely visit again.
