This holiday home has a private pool, a garden and free private parking. The accommodation offers free WiFi throughout the property, as well as a terrace and a family-friendly restaurant.

We loved our holiday here…..the photos are very accurate, and the owner and her property manager were immediately responsive to a couple of minor issues. We did get woken up at 645am one morning by baboons trying to break in to the master bedroom balcony, but we fortunately had our balcony doors locked, as we are familiar with this local issue. Quite entertaining to watch them ambling over the golf course being chased by Security! There is no Welcome Pack provided so you need to stock up at the supermarket before arriving, which was fine for us as we intended to do bbqs and home cooking all week, so we already had half a supermarket with us:-). The house is extremely spacious with breathtaking views, and we can’t wait to return next year!

We booked an air bnb in Knysna that was completely trashed and not as advertised. I quickly called Simola and talked to Sedrick who quickly found a room that would accommodate my party last second for a couple nights while we were visiting. By far the best customer service I have ever received, and will be back in the future for a much longer trip. Everyone in my party was in love with this accommodation. Bravo!

    The absolute luxurious suite. Very comfy bed. As the house is on top of a mountain in the Pezula golf resort you have a magnificent view on Knysna and the lagoon with great sunsets. And at night you only hear the crickets.

    If you are looking for a place to stay in Knysna, this is it! Vanessa and Trevor were so incredibly accommodating, I felt right at home. The room had everything we needed - recommendations for things to do, a lovely private outdoor seating area, heavenly bed and linens, and the most thoughtful finishing touches! The location was perfect, close to town yet in a quiet area. You can see the golf course from the house and the view was incredible. I wish I could have stayed longer!
