Mount Joy Cottages

Very friendly and pleasant hosts, beautiful location and THE most amazing garden we have ever seen!

nothing to complain about:)

From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm and serenity of this accommodation. If you're looking for accommodation with a view that will steal your breath away, look no further. This beautiful oasis boasts an absolutely incredible panorama of the Knysna waters. Each day began and ended with this stunning backdrop, creating unforgettable moments. Beyond the view, the hosts are incredibly beautiful people, the comfort of the rooms, the peaceful atmosphere made for a truly exceptional stay. Even though I was originally in the area for work, the serene beauty and peaceful atmosphere left such a lasting impression on me that I find myself longing to return for a leisurely holiday. Amidst the bustling schedule and work commitments, I caught glimpses of tranquil landscapes, and charming spots that seemed to whisper promises of relaxation and rejuvenation. The chance to fully immerse myself in the calm surroundings, wake up without an alarm, and savor moments of stillness without any pressures of deadlines is incredibly appealing. I imagine spending days exploring hidden trails, enjoying the gentle sounds of nature, and indulging in leisurely meals while soaking in the unhurried pace of life. Returning not just as a visitor, but as a traveler seeking rest and restoration, would allow me to truly appreciate the tranquility that first piqued my curiosity during my work trip.

As a journalist and content creator, I require plenty of room for dressing tables, vlogging tripods, and makeup stands, which were insufficient in the bedroom. Nevertheless, the open-plan dining area compensated for the absence of mirrors and dressing tables there.

Huge garden, best view of the town

Perfect location, stunning views.

The area is easy to find and close to the waterfront. It is so well decorated, the view from the cottage is just so lovely and the garden is breathtaking. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly.

Situated at the end of a road it is very quiet and peaceful. We received a very warm welcome and the host showed us around the cottage and the property. They have a beautiful garden and you have amazing views. The cottage was very cozy and was well equipped. We had a warm shower and the blankets kept us very warm during the night. The hosts even helped us getting the heater started in the living room and made sure we had everything we need.

We really can’t complain other than the fact that we would have loved to stay longer.

The views from the house are fabulous. The kids loved having the loft to themselves. The gardens are a real labour of love. Super nice owners are onsite to help with anything you need.

It’s a minor niggle, but the shower was a little temperamental. The owner had it looked at prior to our arrival, but it still wasn’t functioning quite right.
