Mount Joy Cottages — Apartment Accommodation
18, Newton Street, Mount Joy, 6571 Knysna, South Africa
Check live rates on Booking.com
Mount Joy Cottages sits above Knysna with private balconies and terraces that take in lake, mountain, and garden views across several orientations — the kind of outlook that changes character depending on the light. Each apartment has a bathroom en suite, an outdoor dining area, and BBQ facilities for evenings that drift past sunset. Bollard Bay Beach is roughly three and a half kilometres away, making it a realistic drive for a morning swim.
Pets are welcome, and free on-site parking means arriving with gear, dogs, or both is straightforward. The surrounding garden adds a buffer of green between the units and the wider town, giving the place a quieter register than its central proximity might suggest. It works equally well for couples wanting a base to explore the lagoon and its surrounds, or small groups who want space to spread out without sacrificing the texture of being in Knysna proper.
