Check live rates on Booking.com
Three bedrooms and three bathrooms across a freestanding home in the Knysna hills, with a garden terrace that looks out over the water. The outdoor fireplace anchors the back of the property — the kind of feature that earns its keep on cooler evenings when the light drops over the lagoon. A barbecue and dedicated seating area extend the living space outside, which is where most guests will gravitate when the weather holds.
Inside, the living and dining areas are generous without being oversized, and free WiFi runs throughout. Bollard Bay Beach is roughly four kilometres from the front door — close enough for a morning swim, far enough to feel removed from the summer crowds. Parking is on-site and the property is non-smoking throughout.
George Airport sits about an hour's drive to the west; Plettenberg Bay Airport is the closer option for those flying in from Johannesburg or Cape Town.
