Leisure Isle Lodge

• Knysna

The idyllic picture postcard scene is an everyday reality of life on Leisure Isle, a tiny island set in the midst of the vast Knysna Lagoon on the spectacular Garden Route coast. Linked to the mainland by a narrow causeway, Leisure Isle is a haven of peace and tranquility. Here, life is savoured at a leisurely pace... cars drive slowly along twisting roads, kids ride bicycles freely, residents enjoy daily sunset walks around the scenic 4km periphery and holiday makers relax on sun-drenched beaches or swim in the crystal clear waters of the lagoon.

Leisure Isle boasts an art gallery, fine dining, a small boat harbour and its own nature reserve teeming with a vast variety of bird life. Less than 10 minutes drive from the centre of Knysna, Leisure Isle is perfectly positioned to take full advantage of all the activities the town and its environs has to offer while maintaining seclusion and safety.

The charm and ambience of Leisure Isle also lies in the haphazard juxtaposition of the old and the new, reflecting its long history and the changes in architectural style as well as the affluence of its residents. Grand mansions and villas sit comfortably alongside modest seaside cottages. Leisure Isle welcomes all with unpretentious warmth and hospitality.

If you enjoy luxury and sophisticated elegance, Leisure Isle Lodge will delight you. Savour the sights and sounds of Knysna from Leisure Isle Lodge, perfectly positioned on Bollard Bay near the majestic Heads. It is an exceptional retreat offering superb accommodation and uncompromising levels of service.

Eleven spacious, well appointed, individually decorated suites or double-rooms en suite enjoy either magnificent lagoon views or open out onto the garden and swimming pool.

To add to the charm and intimacy, the soft, fine linen; huge beds and thick white towels quietly whisper romance. Of course each room is equipped with satellite television, mini bars, beverage facilities, hairdryers, heated towel rails, under floor heating and ceiling fans.
