An absolute gem on Leisure Isle — don't stay anywhere else in Knysna! From the moment we arrived at One on Bollard, we knew we'd found something truly special. Diane and Rob are quite simply the warmest, most attentive hosts we've ever had the pleasure of staying with. They greeted us like old friends, had everything perfectly prepared, and went above and beyond at every turn — from restaurant recommendations to making sure we had everything we could possibly need. The suite was immaculate and beautifully decorated, with its own private garden, outdoor shower, and lush garden furniture. Every little detail had been thought of — and I mean every detail. It felt less like a guesthouse and more like staying in someone's gorgeous, lovingly curated home. Now, the breakfast. Oh, the breakfast. Easily the best we've had at any accommodation, full stop. Everything is homemade — the bread, the butter, the jams — and each morning there's a creative special dish from the kitchen that leaves you genuinely excited to wake up. It's worth the trip for that alone. The location on Leisure Isle is a dream — just steps from the beach, with kayaks and bicycles available to borrow for free. We cycled around the island on our first morning and completely fell in love with the place. It's peaceful, beautiful, and perfectly positioned to explore the wider Garden Route. We did not want to leave. We are already planning to come back. If you're visiting Knysna, do yourself a favour and book One on Bollard. You will not regret it for a single second.

A luxurious stay in an idyllic location. The rooms are spacious and perfectly clean with special extras like heated towel rails and Charlotte Rhys toileteries. The host prepares chef-quality breakfasts and presents an impressive spread. Leisure Ilse offers peaceful beaches, fynbos trails and beautiful views. The perfectly romantic treat or family spoil.

The host couple was super nice. We had a wonderful stay. The room was spotlessly clean, and the breakfast was delicious. Taking a walk along the seaside in the early morning was peaceful with lovely scenery

We had a wonderful time with Diane and Rob. We felt so welcome and cared for. They are both incredibly kind people. Leisure Island is a lovely place to unwind and relax. The rooms are beautiful, and they've thought of everything, including sand toys for the children. Breakfast was amazing, everything homemade from bread to freshly baked muffins, jam, and butter. All in all, highly recommended! 🥰
