About our home

Pearched on a hill overlooking the Salt River Valley and forests, Tranquillo has stunning and uninterrupted views.
Awesome sunrises and sunsets, with sun all day in all rooms.
Very secluded, private and tranquil.
The peacefulness, the huge deck and large garden with braai areas, all add to the bright and spacious double story north facing home.
Fully equipped kitchen, DSTV, wifi, Apple TV, Bose sound system, large comfy couches and fireplace in lounge. The house was totally refurbished a year ago.
Off road parking for two cars.
The stunning views are seen from all the sunny rooms.
Our neighbourhood is set on a hill above the town of Knysna, it is a leafy green suburb, close to all activities, shops, restaurants and places of interest.
In the mornings you will see and hear the Knysna Loeries and many other birds, there are horses and cows in the green valley across the river, and monkeys swing around in the trees. It is a very beautiful secluded neighbourhood.
The quaint town of Knysna and it's beautiful lagoon are minutes away, and the magical ‪‬forests, mile long white sandybeaches, and world renown golf courses are just a short drive.
We include a maid and gardener once a week

Where is it?

Neighbourhood

Knysna is a favorite holiday destination, situated in the Garden Route, with our beautiful mile long beaches, wild life sanctuaries, famous golf courses, many tourism activities, adventure activities and cultural sites. Beautiful forest and mountain trails, game farms, the elephant park is a wonderful experience, we have bird sanctuaries, monkey land, champagne and oyster lagoon cruises. Absolutely not to be missed is the viewpoint at the Heads. The Heads of Knysna are a geographic marvel. From the viewpoint you may be lucky enough to spot a southern right whale – this gigantic creature finds both food and refuge just after the mating season when her calf is born.
Take a trip to the Millwood Goldmine. An integral part of Knysna’s history, the Goldmine was established in 1858 when a gold nugget was found in Jubilee Creek (originally called the KarataraRiver).
The Woodville Big Tree is an impressive 800 years old and 33 m tall. This massive yellowwood stands proud and silent in the Hoekwil Forest. One can make a day of the trip as there is a picnic area and walking trails.
There are many Wine Estate Vineyards for
Wine tasting and handcrafted cheese platters.
