About our home

In the stunning little town of Knysna on the famous Garden Route of South Africa, this bright and sunny cottage is a lovely getaway pad and the perfect place from which to explore this incredibly beautiful coastal region. The cottage is less than 5 years old and is tastefully decorated with brand new furnishings including down duvets and 100% cotton percale bedding. It can easily accommodate up to 6 adults and/or children if the queen sized sofa couch is used in the lounge.
Knysna Central and Lagoon are less than 5 min drive. Buffalo bay beach is a beautiful 10 mins drive.
The cottage is situated in a fully fenced, remote accessed property. The main house at the top of the property was burnt down in the recent fire. The cottage (which is entirely separate to the main house) and the garden were however, fortunately left unscathed.
The cottage is equipped with everything one would need including WiFi and full cable tv. It does not have a formal dining area but the lovely weather in our area allows one to enjoy meals at the table on the sunny deck overlooking the mountains and lagoon.

“Kirsty's house is charming and homely with great views from the terrace. A glass of wine in hand watching the sunset was a perfect end to the day! Well positioned to visit so many wonderful places and eating local oysters was a highlight. Tricky to find at first, its easy to get the hang of finding the place! Visit the Heads for a great breakfast and great walk there with stunning views and bird watch in the lagoons on the way back! Even saw a fish eagle and spoonbills there! Knysna is lovely with so many good restaurants and nice shops too. Thanks Kirsty! ”

“We loved staying in Kirsty's home in Knysna. The home is situated high enough to capture both the view and the breeze. We enjoyed this as a base to explore the wonderment of the area (of which we were amazed!!). Communicating and access was made very easy thanks to Kirsty's efficient and welcoming style. We would highly recommend a stay here. ”

“Kirsty came to our rescue after another member let us down a few days before our trip to South Africa was to begin. She was always helpful and prompt in communication. It was such a pleasure staying at Kirsty's very comfortable, well equipped cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our first ever trip to Knysna and would love to return in the future. Thank you so much for agreeing to this swap.”

More about us

My husband Terry and I (Kirsty) have 3 children (22 and twins of 18) all of which still live at home. We live on a farm outside Knysna but have a cottage in town hat we usually let out as an Airbnb.
Terry has a construction business which he has had for 24 years. Kirsty is Terry’s admin slave who is over worked and underpaid therefore the bright idea for a home swap holiday...
We are a very fun loving easy going and adventurous family. We are exceptionally close and love to do everything together. Our ideal destination would be anywhere with loads of exciting and adventurous things to do
