The Beach House
The Garden Route

An extraordinary and impeccably styled 4-bedroom villa in one of the Garden Route’s most stunning and sought after islands: welcome to The Beach House, one of the most luxurious new openings for 2017. Built using local stone and wood, the Beach House has a modern French farmhouse feel and glorious views across Knysna Lagoon and the Outeniqua mountains. Accessed via a private causeway with 24-hour security, it is set on Leisure Island, one of two islands on the Knysna Lagoon, which is known for its ‘old world’ charm and friendly island community who love walking, cycling and bird-watching.

All 4 bedrooms are en-suite and facilities include indoor and outdoor lounge areas, indoor and outdoor dining areas, an entertainment lounge with a pool table and complimentary bar, and a wonderful swimming pool with knockout views. There is a white sandy beach on your doorstep with a calm bay for swimming and you have restaurants, the boat harbour, tennis courts, a bowling green, the park and cycle paths a short stroll away. Knysna town is a 10-minute drive away.

Other activities include golf – there are world famous golf courses nearby including Pezula, Simola and Fancourt in George, home of Ernie Els and the host venue for the 2003 Presidents Cup (guests play discounted golf at Pezula and Simola) – and speed boat hire for water sports such as tubing, skiing and wakeboarding, as well as cruising and private beach picnics at the Heads and Featherbed reserve. There is also
 stand up paddling, kite surfing and surfing lessons on offer.

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
