Pragtige dorp en eiland. Baie rustige en stil omgewing. Mooi natuurskoon.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die blyplek is geleë in 'n stil en rustige omgewing en is met mooi natuurskoon omring. Die eiland is 'n lekker bestemming indien 'n mens wil ontspan en rustig wees.

It was the most awesome break we've had in a long time.

The situation is perfect - close to the lake's shore on one side and close to the nature reserve/dog park on the other. Our dog loved her stay, and so did we. Some really nice restaurants on the isle as well made it a pleasure. My wife said it was her "happy" place and wanted to go again. As our last holiday together, it was fantastic and I will always treasure our time there. Gael is friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Idyllic surroundings on Knysna Leisure Island.

Gael was a friendly, helpful host, thank you! Beautiful and tastefully decorated apartment. Loved that we could bring our furbaby with and the long walks along the lagoon were thoroughly enjoyed. Close enough for sightseeing without the hustle and bustle of being in town.

Peaceful, beautiful setting, well equipped, walking distance to beach and restaurants, easy drive to Knysna.

This is a perfect getaway for 2 if you want space to unwind, rest and do want you to want to do, when you want to do it. Our host was available but unobtrusive. Various great spots on the Island within easy (flat) walking distance.

A lovely apartment on the beautiful Leisure Isle.

It was great to be able to have our dog with us and we really enjoyed walks around the island. Not too sure why the extra cleaning fee after departure is a requirement.

Island Nest 's response

Hi Katie, glad you enjoyed your stay at Island Nest.
The cleaning fee post let is to cover the cost of paying a domestic worker after your departure to clean the apartment and wash all the linen you have used.
Kind regards,
Gael

Was baie lekker en die woonstel was goed toegerus en die buurt is veilig en stil.

Leisure island is absoluut fantasties en sentraal vir gholfliefhebbers, naby Knysna gholfbaan sowel as Pezula gholfbaan. Ideaal vir 2 persone wat vakansie kom hou en die omgewing wil verken.

Gerieflik gebly, baie rondgery en bowenal baie lekker geslaap!

Ons was aangenaam verras oor hoe mooi, netjies en goed toegerus die gastehuis was. Ons is hartlik ontvang en afgesien en sal graag weer by Island Nest tuisgaan. Die ligging is baie goed, net 'n kort stappie na die strand en tuine van Leisure Isle en die rit na die Heads, dorp en waterfront was ook nie te ver nie. Die bed by die gastehuis het lekkerder geslaap as my eie ─ 'n groot bonus!

Stayed comfortably, drove around a lot and above all slept very well!

We were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful, neat and well equipped the guest house was. We were warmly received and looked after and would love to stay at Island Nest again. The location is very good, only a short walk to the beach and gardens of Leisure Isle and the drive to the Heads, town and waterfront was not too far either. The bed at the guest house slept better than my own ─ a big bonus!

Brilliant.

Island Nest is an amazing place to stay. It’s a beautiful flat with everything you can wish for. It’s light and airy with a lovely balcony to relax on. The surrounding area is so peaceful and safe. Everyone is walking their dogs and cyclists are safely cycling around. Gael is a wonderful host. Loved my stay!

Heerlik om te bly.

Island Nest is geleë op Leisure Island en om die draai van die lagoon se strand wat uitkyk op die bekende Knysna Heads. Die eienaar, Gayle, het lank voor ons aankoms reeds reëlings getref vir die sleutel en het ons ook vriendelik ontvang. Ons blyplek was smaakvol gemebuleer met skoon linne en handdoeke. Die kombuis het alles wat jy kan nodig kry. Die volle DStv-pakket en WiFi is ook beskikbaar. Ons het heerlik hier gebly.

Lovely to stay.

Island Nest is located on Leisure Island and around the corner from the lagoon's beach overlooking the famous Knysna Heads. The owner, Gayle, had already made arrangements for the key long before our arrival and also received us kindly. Our accommodation was tastefully furnished with clean linen and towels. The kitchen has everything you could need. The full DStv package and WiFi are also available. We had a wonderful stay here.
