The Surrounds

A charming retreat in the middle of the world renowned Knysna lagoon, Leisure Isle brings postcard images of idyllic beach breakaways to life.

Beautiful Bollard Bay Beach, directly opposite Leisure Isle Lodge, is but one of the spotless beaches offering safe swimming in the sparkling Knysna lagoon. Supplement your tan under one of our umbrellas on the beach, explore the lagoon in one of our kayaks or spoil yourself with a luxury champagne sundowner cruise.

Should you wish to be a bit more active, then order your gourmet picnic during breakfast and discover the island on one of our bicycles. Leisure Isle boasts a small boat harbour, tennis and bowls clubs, an art gallery and antique store, rolling parklands and its own nature reserve – ideal for that romantic or family picnic. The island is also a natural paradise for a host of small wildlife and birds.

Barely 10 minutes’ drive from the Knysna CBD, Leisure Isle is the perfect spot from where to explore the treasure trove of experiences on offer in Knysna and the surrounding Garden Route towns.

The indigenous forest and surrounding fynbos offer adrenalin junkies challenging trail running and single track mountain biking routes, or enjoy a leisurely stroll and marvel at the giant trees and lush undergrowth. Keep your eye out for the elusive Knysna Loerie and, of course, the mystical forest elephant. Or simply visit the elephants and other animals at one of the many animal sanctuaries in the vicinity.

The lagoon and Indian Ocean beyond offers all water sports imaginable – from strolling along miles of unspoilt beaches and days of fun in the sun with family, to angling, deep sea fishing, cruises, whale watching, deep sea diving, snorkelling, surfing, water skiing, kite surfing – the list is truly endless…

Knysna is a golfer’s paradise and our guests are offered preferential rates to play at Simola Golf and Country Estate.

Enjoy a brilliant al fresco breakfast at one of six outdoor markets between nearby Plettenberg Bay and Sedgefield, as well as art and craft and organic produce shopping. In fact, the Knysna area is well known for the variety of organic home produce available to discerning shoppers – from award winning honey in Rheenendal to an amber nectar of a different sort at Knysna’s own Mitchell’s Brewery. And speaking of nectar, a number of wine estates are within easy driving distance for tastings and lunches.

In short, Knysna and the surrounding Garden Route offers more than you could wish to experience during your stay. And Leisure Isle Lodge is the ideal base from which to explore these adventures. We are happy to suggest activities and outings, and will gladly make the necessary arrangements on your behalf.

Leisure Isle Lodge Reviews

A stunning view over the lagoon makes the price worthwhile. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The staff were professional and friendly. Use of bicycles and kayaks are part of the deal and there is plenty to explore in the beautiful lagoon. A wonderful stay. – chrisA2079IE

We couldn’t dream of anything better; We had a suite with two bedrooms and a little lounge, beautifully arranged, spacious and light. We had dinner and breakfast, both of them excellent. The bread was the best I have ever eaten. – J2131JLmichaelb

Very nice venue with the friendliest staff. Decor beautiful. The diner was out of this world. The walk on the island gives you feeling of safety and freedom. It must be one of the most settings on the garden route. A must to visit. Will definitely return. – LeonHoman
