The location is good. We rode around the island using the bikes provided. Short walk to the water. Lots of privacy. Ample wood for the braai as well as the fireplace . The place is big enough that you can have your own space for a bit. The shower is the best, nice and high up, so it feels like you are in a waterfall . Tendai and Recent are both exceptional at what they do. Really made us feel welcome.

That I didnt stay longer! A nice big comfy couch would be great, but maybe not enough space. Outdoor couch or lounger?

The private enclosed layout, perfect for pets Modern finishes, very well equipped, glorious shower Facilities are great! Pool, laundry, bicycle hire. Location is spectacular. Leisure Island is incredibly beautiful. Super close to the heads viewing points up the hill.

Nothing to complain about

Impeccable service by our host. Our unit is clean and well equipped for the stay. We had access to free bikes to explore the island, which was a nice touch. Highly recommended, and we would most certainly stay there again in future.

We loved everything. Only, the WiFi was poor and on the last day we had low water pressure.

Stunning accommodation and friendly staff. We loved the facilities and made use of the bikes and kayaks. Recent was a wonderful host and helped with everything we needed. The area around is peaceful and quiet and the accommodation was peaceful, clean and everything we needed.

Everything. Amazing host and staff. Room was perfect, clean, comfortable and equipped with all the essential things you need. Lots of free facilities to use including bikes and pool, but we especially loved trying out SUP when the tide was in. Leisure Island is a lovely, peaceful location, a short drive from Kynsna central/waterfront. Highly recommend the Nest, mostly because Tendai and the staff are so accommodating and helpful.

That I couldn't stay longer...

I loved everything about The Nest. It was the perfect place to spend my birthday. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The Nest is beautifully decorated. The electric blankets was a added bonus at night. I love the bicycles, and the setting of Leisure Isle Collective is just amazing and peaceful. It's my go to spot in Knysna.

We loved our stay at The Nest! We were greeted at reception, shown around the property and all its facilities and given the keys to our room. The room was spotless and very cozy! The location is also great. We thoroughly enjoyed riding the bikes around the island, dipping in the pool, and taking out the kayaks to the river!

Nothing! It was really one of the best stays we had.

Very nice flat located on the Leisure Island. The staff was really helpful with the laundry and also offered us activities with Kayaks and bicycles that we could used, and we gladly used!

Minor thing of no dishcloth to clean surfaces

Really cute space with lots of light and 2 minutes walk to the water where you can kayak and swim. Also loved taking the bikes out for a cycle around the island

Was greeted by Recent he was a very good and friendly host , everything was neat and clean. He showed us around and answered all our questions. There are bicycles and kayaks that you can use and there is also a laundry service free to use on the premises. Beautiful place.
