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!

Unforgettable B&B with exceptional hospitality
The Knysna Belle exceeded all our expectations. The room was exceptional; clean, comfortable, spacious and had everything you could need. The breakfasts were delicious and professionally presented. Michelle's hospitality was outstanding.

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

Kleines familiäres Hotel mit Verwöhnpaket
Es fehlt an nichts. Ob Strandzubehör wie Handtücher, Sonnenschirm und Stuhl oder die hauseigene gut gefüllte Bar zur Selbstbedienung. Man fühlt sich einfach wohl.
