“We are a family of 5 and stayed in this lovely house for 4 nights in July. Leisure island, where the house is located is absolutely fabulous and very safe. Pros - nice house & garden, amazing location (great for runs), Ian nice guy. Cons - I think Ian forgot we were coming until I reminded him few days prior, so eventhough cleaner had come, house had not been lived in for months so quite musty. Biggest issue was we had no WiFi for duration of stay. We tried to get it fixed with repair people whom Ian put us in contact with but was very arduous and in the end didn’t happen. Kynsna is also a great town and leisure island few minutes drive from it - lots of great shops & restaurants. ”

Leisure Isle, Knysna, has to be one of the most beautiful treasures of this wonderful country. Situated in a lagoon, with safe swimming and water sports. The area is perfectly secure, quiet, very relaxed, with wonderful restaurants within a few kms. The house is all on one level, no steps. It has it's own very private garden, is 100metres from the water's edge. The house has a lovely open feel with french doors opening from the living area and bedrooms to outside covered verandah space with built in barbecue, large sofas etc. This is a very well equipped house with modern kitchen, bathrooms etc.

Ian's reviews
As a host (6)“This was our second stay in Ian's beautiful house so testament to how highly we rate the home. Communication with Ian always very good and all the constants remained top notch; excellent location, wonderful relaxing, spotless comfortable and well equipped home. Highly recommended.”
“Ian's home is comfortable, clean and homely in a good location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. Ian was a brilliant communicator. John”
“Ian's home is very comfortable and well-appointed. Its location on Leisure Island was perfect, being between the buzz of Knysna and the natural beauty of the Heads, at the entrance to the Kynsna Lagoon. Leisure Island itself is very peaceful, with a cafe that does breakfast and lunch and a swimming beach, although extended swims are probably not recommended, with the local currents and the odd shark!”
“This is the perfect beach house. The isle is leafy with lovely beaches and you can enjoy walking out to the channel when the tide is out, or a dip when the tide is in. Ian is very helpful and the house and garden very pretty.”
“Ian, your home is beautiful and the boys and I had an awesome stay. We thank you for agreeing to the swap and Knysna is now etched in our families holiday memories. Situated I think in the best part of Knysna, Leisure Island offers the family a wonderful holiday of Kayaking, walking , running and just awesome holiday vibe. Thank You and I can't wait to return your hospitality when you come to Shelley Point. Kerry ”
