Guest Reviews
- Chris (9/5): A great guest lodge in an amazing place - Excellent location Amazing room
- VM (10/5): Familiäres, kuscheliges Hideaway - Sehr familiär und umsorgend, Lage direkt am Strand, kostenlos Fahrräder und Kajaks verfügbar, ansprechende Küche Bad könnte etwas moderner sein, aber alles sehr sauber; am besten noch Kindercocktails mit auf die Karte nehmen sowie Chips und Nüsschen für die Bar
- Ralph (10/5): -
- Meike (9/5): - Ausgesprochen gutes Frühstück, wunderbares Ambiente im Hotel, sehr freundliches und hilfreiches Personal
- Brigitte (8/5): -
- Wolfgang Steflitsch (10/5): Perfekter Aufenthalt, super Ambiente - Wir waren begeistert, alles war sehr stilvoll und gediegen, so wie wir es erhofft hatten.

- Deborah (10/5): A perfect place to unwind. - The location. Right beside the lagoon with lovely views across the water. So peaceful.
- Cathleen (10/5): Außergewöhnlich geschmackvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft mit Blick aufs Wasser - Eine wundervolle Unterkunft mit sehr viel Liebe gestaltet. Es gab ein fantastisches Frühstück. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen nett man kann direkt auf das Wasser blicken. Man muss wissen, dass die Unterkunft etwas außerhalb von Hermanus liegt. die Fahrt mit dem Auto dorthin ist kein Problem. Wenn man sehr empfindlich ist, sollte man wissen, dass die Unterkunft etwas hellhörig ist. Das ist keine Kritik. Nur eine Information.

- Rick (8/5): Very good -

- Louise (9/5): FANTASTIC spot!! - Loved the friendly staff the most. Also they very kindly upgraded us! There was no air conditioning in the room and the sun made it quite hot
- Fiona (10/5): Relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings - The location is stunning and the rooms we rented were large. The staff were all extremely friendly and Cher and Cheryll looked after us very well. We had an extremely relaxing and laid-back stay at the Leisure Isle Lodge. Nothing much to say apart from it would be lovely if more fruit was provided at breakfast and replenished frequently.
- Nur (8/5): Very good - Location and friendly staff Shower was the best Room is big and comfy Breakfast buffet needs more attention in busy days. But this is a general thing in south africa
- Neil (9/5): Awesome location, great service and great facilities! - Great location with great facilities and really wonderful and welcoming staff. Bit noisy from other guests as room faced the pool area which was close.
- Prabir (8/5): Very good -

The food was excellent Best hotel of our trip in South Africa. Nothing
- Khushboo (8/5): Very good -
- Thomas (10/5): A perfect, quiet place to recharge and relax in stunning surroundings. - Location on a beautiful, quiet island. The property provided everything we needed - the rooms were decorated beautifully and super clean. Such a lovely warm welcome from Chris. Cher so friendly and helpful with any suggestions of activities and quick to answer any questions we had. And Audrey who was so attentive in the restaurant. The food was sublime - fabulous choice and expertly cooked. Fantastic flavours - I did ask if I could take chef home with me. The cooler weather meant we couldn’t take full advantage of the pool during our stay but we would definitely return here if we had the chance. Couldn’t fault it.
- Patricia (10/5): to recomend strongly in Knysna ! - a very nice address in Knysna on Leisure Isle, calm area, wonderful view on the sea luxury rooms and apartments with top decoration very helpfull staff, free bike renting
- Patricia (10/5): very nice address to recommend in Knysna ! - high quality of service ! luxurious rooms with beautiful views on the sea !
- Leshego (7/5): overall great stay with some minor improvements it could even be five star. - Most of the staff were amazing especially Chris. Manager had an awesome aura. - Some staff members need more training - We ran out of tissues - No one checked the level when they came to clean - Slippers would be a nice touch - Food could be better
- Ian (9/5): Very comfortable stay that certainly encouraged us to consider staying there again hopefully spend a - Very comfortable with great view . Location was very convenient. The staff were ready to help.with any queries.They provided both room service as well as Dining service and the meals we had were very good. They were still not able to adequately cater for load shedding and there were challenges in ensuring a supply of hot water. It appeared that the television system was also playing up so no TV was available during our stay
- Miriam (7/5): Good -
- Oxleyjohn (9/5): Enjoyable and comfortable - Excellent location and a very pleasant island
- Caroline (9/5): Very enjoyable - Excellent breakfast Chris was amazing….. Signage during the day was non existent. Had to call and get directions which were difficult. The address is Bayswater but no number outside to assist

- Ian (9/5): Very comfortable stay made more pleasant by helpful staff - excellent breakfast. Nice spacious room with a great view. Very convenient to attractions . Lovely quiet environment and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Very comfortable. Lovely cosy lounge and bar facility the ground floor. Beautiful Pool area Lighting for the Bathroom and Toilet was inconveniently placed at the front door so during the night one had to stumble around in the dark finding light switches . The lounging furniture in the room was large and a bit impractical for the space.
- Ifat (10/5): great hotel best service .especially our friend innocent - everything
- Claudia (2/5): - Unfortunately not as expected. Needs a lot of work done. Not maintained and very porely managed. Well below expectations considering the price. Staff is sitting around on the cell phones or playing games on computers during working hours in the hotel lobby.
- Thierry (10/5): Romantic place - Vue-confort-sérénité
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Lovely hotel in a beautiful position. We were upgraded to a room with a beautiful room overlooking the bay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely Holiday Spot - Very comfortably appointed lodging on beautiful small island in the lagoon. The island, accessible by causeway, is densely populated with beautiful houses, many featuring lovely gardens and the lodge is good spot from which to explore. Room decor was comfortable, but slightly dated. Common areas are very comfortable and have good views of the lagoon. Staff is friendly and helpful. The lodge's restaurant is quite good. Takes about 15 minutes to get other dining options in Knysna. Easy spot from which to go visit The Heads.
- Simon (8/5): Séjour agréable - Chambre et salon joliment décoré Literie confortable Bon emplacement avec la vue sur la lagune Salle de bain un peu vieillotte Très bons conseils donnés par Cher sur les activités dans la région
