What a fantastic hidden gem!

This was such an incredible little space. A quiet little escape with our dogs, the hosts were so lovely! Really cool with the wildlife wandering around freely. Such a calming, beautiful place!

Tranquility in the trees and beautiful birds in Brenton.

Peaceful in Brenton on Lake with the buck, birds, and trees. The cottage is beautiful and the area is perfect to explore Knysna and surrounds. Probably the most comfortable bed of our trip!

Peaceful, relaxed, great value for your money.

Perfect location. Lovely spot for a getaway from your busy life. Accommodation had everything that someone would need. The highlight is definitely the buck wandering around!

Peaceful stay.

What a peaceful and tranquil place situated in the nature reserve with buck roaming freely outside the property. We received a warm welcome from the owners upon arrival and enjoyed our two-night stay. The accommodation was neat and tidy with everything we needed for our stay. The best part was the very comfortable bed. We highly recommend this little gem for a peaceful getaway. Thank you!

Die rustigheid van die plek laat jou gou ontspan.

Dit is die rustigste plekkie tussen groot bome in die mooiste omgewing. Die bokkies wat orals in die strate loop, dra by tot die ontspanne, vreedsame atmosfeer. Die beddegoed in die slaapkamer is spierwit en van hoë kwaliteit, met lekker kussings vir 'n goeie nagrus. Aan die negatiewe kant moet ek sê dat ons wel bietjie gesukkel het met die gasgeiser.

The tranquility of the place quickly makes you relax.

This is the most peaceful place among big trees in the most beautiful surroundings. The goats that walk everywhere in the streets add to the relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. The bedding in the bedroom is pure white and of high quality, with nice pillows for a good night's sleep. On the negative side, I must say that we did struggle a bit with the gas geyser.

Stil, rustig en skoon.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang vir die naweek, alles was aan ons gewys en verduidelik. Ons was ook toegelaat om die Sondag later te vertrek wat 'n groot bonus was omdat ons aktiwiteite gehad het om aan deel te neem.

We were received very kindly for the weekend, everything was shown to us and explained. We were also allowed to leave later on the Sunday which was a huge bonus as we had activities to take part in.

Very friendly hosts. Property was perfect in every way.

Despite the rainy weather in Knysna, we managed to do a number of fun activities. The flat was cosy and comfortable. The hosts have provided all the comforts one needs. Our dogs were safe, as the property is fully fenced, and they enjoyed meeting the tame bushbuck.

Comfortable, clean and well equipped unit in tranquil setting.

We enjoyed our week-long stay at VB Escape. The one-bedroom unit was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog. The hosts were excellent. We enjoyed the magnificent yellowwood trees, birds and wildlife. Tranquil setting.

Heerlik en rustig.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang en die beste van alles is dat dit dierevriendelik is. 'n Rustige en veilige omgewing. Selfs die hond het 'n bederf gekry. Beveel beslis aan.
