Lovely peaceful guest house. With just 5 rooms this is like living as a local. Cooked to order quality breakfast at a sensible time of 0830 , nice little pool with decent sun loungers. Our sea facing room was superb . Other rooms are garden view. Free to use kayaks, range of bikes to explore the local area. Honesty bar and plenty of reading materials.
Thoroughly recommended.

Superb resting place in Knysna’s leisure island.

Following our intense 5 day hike in the mountains My wife and I had a 1 night stay at The Knysna Belle to rest and allow our bodies to breathe and recover. Michelle was super helpful knowledgeable and wonderful and she took great care of our comfort indeed. The place is beautiful set in a tranquil environment with Knysna heads visible and Mesmerising. Everything was perfect the room the bedding the bathroom was modern too. Lastly the most amazing breakfast was served by Michelle herself adding a nice and personal touch to our experience. I will definitely stay there again and recommend the Knysna Belle to everyone. ❤️❤️

The Knysna Belle was one of my favourite places we stayed in on our trip. The staff were extremely friendly and nothing was to much trouble! The breakfast was to die for the food was fresh and delicious. The room was a gem with our own private patio overlooking the sea. I stupidly left my handbag behind and they posted it on to one of the other hotels we were staying at!

The Kynsna Belle was just lovely. Very comfortable, nice bed & linens, lovely house, bright & airy. Very quiet & peaceful. Breakfast was terrific! Michelle was super helpful and efficient. We loved walking around the island, borrowing their bikes for riding around the whole area. What a gorgeous location!

Fantastic place to stay. Perfect in every way.

We loved staying at the Knysna Belle on Leisure Isle - what a spectacular setting. Everything was fantastic about the stay: the location, the service, the quality of the rooms. A perfect place for a night en route. We also had a fantastic meal at the Olive Tree restaurant. The sunset was spectacular and it is ideal for walking, and for a morning run.

We could not fault this property. From the warm welcome we received from Gabby, with tea and coffee offered on arrival. The room was very clean and spacious and nicely decorated. There was a safe and a tea & coffee tray with a jar of biscuits which was replenished daily. The WiFi was very good and although there was load shedding the guesthouse was not affected as it had a generator.
There is an honesty bar with so much choice and an ice machine. Guests also can use the lounge which again is nicely furnished and has a veranda overlooking the Knysna Lagoon. The views are stunning.
Breakfast was lovely and freshly cooked. There was also fresh fruit, tea,coffee and cereals. Freshly baked muffins and croissants were also available. Michelle was there at breakfast and again nothing was too much trouble, she was very welcoming and friendly and offered to book us a place to the nature reserve.
The outside areas were also spotless with plenty of sun beds around the pool. There were beach towels provided and they also offer guests free use of the canoes, kayaks and bikes which are in the garage.
The staff are a credit to the Knysna Belle so thank you Michelle, Gabby & Gillianne for your wonderful hospitality and for looking after us so well. We will be back next time we visit South Africa.
You will not be disappointed if you stay here

Wir waren im letzten Jahr schon für eine Nacht hier, es hat uns so gut gefallen, dass wir in diesem Jahr drei Nächte in diesem schönen Haus verbracht haben.
Kommen bestimmt ein drittes Mal.
Super Frühstück, sehr nette Atmosphäre, tolle Lage (schwimmen im Pool und Meer, Radfahren, Kanufahren….) schöne Zimmer und Umgebung.
