Five bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, give Strode House a generosity of scale that suits larger groups without feeling anonymous. The outdoor spaces are the real draw: a pool with a view, a sun terrace, a garden, and an open-air bath that makes the most of Knysna's mild climate. An outdoor fireplace and barbecue area extend the living space into the evenings, while the lounge and living room handle the quieter hours inside.

Private check-in and check-out keep arrivals and departures low-friction. A free shuttle service is an unusual inclusion for self-catering at this level. Bollard Bay Beach is just over four kilometres away, and the wider Knysna waterfront — with its lagoon, restaurants, and market — is within easy reach.

Strode House reads as a house meant to be lived in rather than merely occupied: enough room for a group to spread out, enough outdoor infrastructure to spend most of the day outside.

A note from Martin

My father Dale Daniel Strode built our family home in 1985.

It's a place where I have lived like a King and I'm certain you will too,

A spacious, comfortable home with magical views, breath taking sunsets.

With the sun favouring the north our garden boasts the richest green lawns and stately palms

This place, we call quite simply "Your holiday home."
