Superb resting place in Knysna’s leisure island.
Following our intense 5 day hike in the mountains My wife and I had a 1 night stay at The Knysna Belle to rest and allow our bodies to breathe and recover. Michelle was super helpful knowledgeable and wonderful and she took great care of our comfort indeed. The place is beautiful set in a tranquil environment with Knysna heads visible and Mesmerising. Everything was perfect the room the bedding the bathroom was modern too. Lastly the most amazing breakfast was served by Michelle herself adding a nice and personal touch to our experience. I will definitely stay there again and recommend the Knysna Belle to everyone. ❤️❤️

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!

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.
