Amanzi Island Lodge
"Wonderful welcome with friendly staff. The room was simply gorgeous, claen, beautifully decorated and spacious, the view awesome and so peaceful. Breakfast on the varanda looking towards Knysna Heads - what a restorative time. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Our second visit, why choose anywhere else in the Knysna area?"

"Excellent accommodation on Leisure Island looking across the road to the lagoon and headlands. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent and were on the ground floor overlooking the lagoon. Simon and Cathy were excellent hosts, very helpful and welcoming and the staff were very friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
