19 guests' feedbackWe really enjoyed our stay, accommodation was comfortable, close to all amenities, Gael was a super host.
We had a wonderful stay. The accommodation is located in a quiet and peaceful environment and is surrounded by beautiful scenery. The island is a nice destination if one wants to relax and be peaceful.
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.
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.
Very helpful and the accommodation felt at home, very safe and comfortable, host is extremely helpful and close to town but still away from it all. I would highly recommend it and will definitely be back.
Gael was a very hospitable and friendly host.
I would recommend Island Nest for sure.
Peaceful, close to the beach and lovely walks. Will definitely be back again. Well worth a visit.
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.
Unit is spacious and has everything you need for sure. Well equipped for self-catering and very neat and clean! Gael is pleasant and goes out of her way to make it pleasant. Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday.
Island Nest is safe. Walking distance to the lake. Beautifully clean and tidy.
Island Nest is well situated. The accommodation is neat and clean. I will stay there again if I am in the area.
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.
Beautiful house and enough facilities.
Leisure island is absolutely fantastic and central for golf lovers, close to Knysna golf course as well as Pezula golf course. Ideal for 2 people who come on holiday and want to explore the area.
Wonderlik, ontspannend, uit ’n ander wêreld.
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!
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!
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.
