We were recommended to stay on Leisure Isle by another B&B owner and we booked into this B&B. Leisure Isle is beautiful and quiet and Knysna Belle has a great location right on the lagoon with lovely views though not from our particular room which openned onto the pool area in the very pleasant back garden. Owners provide bikes so... More

We were very lucky to have been recommended , we enjoyed your company and hope you return soon. Maybe next time we can spoil you in one of our front lagoon facing rooms with views over the Knysna Lagoon. More

We have just returned from 3 wonderful nights at the Knysna Belle. The house is located on Leisure Isle which is about 5-10 mins drive from the centre of Knysna. The island is very quite and peaceful with only a few cars on the island. The house overlooks the Knysna lagoon which is very tidal and at low tide you... More

This was our second stay and we were worried it would nt live up to our memories but it surpassed them. There are very few places in the world that provide super scenary in a safe and accessable location with really good personal service.Gillianne, Bianca and the other staff truly make you feel at home without being intrusive.The Knysna Belle...

Superlatives come to mind when describing The Knysna Belle...It is truly the belle of the ball. Many places have a nice location but not a staff to make you feel welcome, or vice versa. The Belle gives you the best of both worlds. Bianca and everyone on staff make you feel you are at home away from home, yet also... More

We spent a fabulous weekend during the Knysna Oyster Festival and we will be back - soon! We had a late check-in and Bianca had ensured the room was warm and inviting when we arrived. The breakfast was excellent and served at the poolside with an abundance of bird life to watch. Everyone was incredibly accomodating and made our stay... More

We spent a week at the Belle staying in The Captains Quarters. Unbeatable location with the finest views from the decks. Gillianne, Bianca and the rest of the staff could not have been more welcoming. Superb breakfasts by the pool, what more could you ask for ? We can't wait to return. Des & Jacquie. Surrey, England

We have stayed there twice before and both times were great! We have stayed in two different rooms and they were equally comfortable, clean, inviting and beautiful. We will definitely visit the Knysna Belle again and it is the only Accommodation we would suggest to friends.
