'Thyme Out' for your holiday cottage get-away.

NimmyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
I attended a Scout Meeting ( as an Adult) in Sedgefield and got to the accommodation while still in uniform. Pat was a Guider all her life and we were immediately at home - like visiting my sister. Very helpful and friendly - really felt right at home.

my partner and I had such an enjoyable and memorable stay here with Chris & Andrea, our hosts. The house is beautiful and the views over the lagoon are spectacular. Our hosts went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable, and we felt very much at home. We received great recommendations on what to do in the surrounding area, which was really appreciated as we were pressed for time.

Leisure Isle Retreat, Knysna, South Africa

RichieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
5 Stars – A Slice of Paradise in Knysna! We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home in Knysna. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — the hosts greeted us warmly and had thoughtfully left snacks, a bottle of wine, and even a delicious cake for us to enjoy. Such a special touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The house itself is stunning — spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful location made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved spending time on the patio, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying relaxed evenings by the fire. The location is ideal too — just a short drive from town, yet far enough to feel like a private retreat. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Rest and Restore at Peaceful Piglets Cottage

RoisinRating, 5 stars3 months ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Piglets Cottage. The location is so beautiful with the ponds & the mountains as a backdrop. Louise is the perfect host - she loaned us some binoculars for our stay. The cottage is close to some nice walks & to Wilderness. We checked out the cheesecake at the local country store - don't miss it. We will definitely be back to Piglets on our next visit & will plan a longer stay.

#Bayview Cozy Studio1 - Safe area, Lagoon Views !

IvanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Our stay at Mark and Liz’s place was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and completely at home. The apartment was spotless, beautifully maintained and equipped with every amenity you could possibly need, including so many thoughtful extras. On arriving we found the kitchen stocked with breakfast essentials, such as cereals, eggs, croissants, milk, juice and water which was such a kind touch and made settling in effortless. The views from the terrace are absolutely breathtaking, offering the perfect spot to relax and soak in the natural beauty of Knysna. The location strikes a great balance, peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to town and surrounding attractions for easy exploring. Mark and Liz are incredible hosts, friendly, attentive, and full of great local tips. Communication was seamless, and every detail was handled with care. We can highly recommend Mark and Liz's apartment if you are looking for self-catering accommodation in Knysna.

Baharini

RaeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Dream location! It was such a pleasure to wake up and go for a beach walk and swim each morning. The house is ideally located — just a 10-minute walk to town via the bridge and directly on the beach. The home itself was clean, comfortable, and had a lovely, welcoming feel. We felt completely at ease. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was a huge plus, especially for a group stay. At night, the heaters and warm blankets kept us cozy and comfortable. It was a truly lovely weekend, and we’ll definitely be back. We absolutely love the Wilderness!
