Come and enjoy the sights and sounds of Knysna`s world renowned lagoon from Leisure Isle Lodge, positioned on the picturesque shores of Bollard Bay on Leisure Island. It is here that you can rest up and enjoy true hospitality during your well deserved vacation.
The appeal of Leisure Isle Lodge lies in its convenient location - only minutes from central Knysna, yet far enough afield to afford guests a little peace and tranquility. The Island also boasts the most unique `sea level` vistas of the famous Knysna Heads, Outeniqua mountain range and the evergreen Featherbed Nature Reserve.
We pledge to give each and every visitor a fulfilling and restful stay at Leisure Isle Lodge. We aim to make your time with us a special and memorable one by seeing to your every need, whether it`s organising a round of golf or simply pouring a sundowner at the end of the day.
We strive to make you happy, contented and relaxed - after all, that`s what you`ve come to Knysna to do, isn`t it?”
Knysna is always a hive of activity - whether during the day or through the night. Local restaurants are sure to wake those tastebuds of yours, and for those looking for a cold ale or exotic cocktail, well... you have certainly come to the right place...
After a hearty breakfast you can look forward to all that Leisure Island has to offer - you could take a stroll around the island, perhaps cast a rod onto the waters of the lagoon, or enjoy a leisurely early morning swim in one of many little bays or beaches close to the lodge.
For those who prefer a warmer and more luxurious experience, our heated swimming pool is a winner, come rain or shine. And for the more energetic, there are bicycles, wind-surfers and paddle skis available.
As far as activities further afield go, Knysna is famous for its 'village' atmosphere - there is so much to see and do! Spend the day exploring the art routes with galleries, shops, arts & crafts, bistros, golf courses, game parks, restaurants and pubs.
Remember, no visit to Knysna is complete without savouring a walk or drive in the indigenous forests. Knysna is also in close proximity to seven golf courses including Knysna Golf Course, Sparrebosch and Fancourt, for which tee-off times can be arranged.
Come along and make yourself at home in one of the spacious suites with lagoon views or twin-bedded en-suite rooms looking onto the eco-friendly swimming pool and beautiful garden.
All suites and rooms are individually decorated, have en-suite bathrooms and offer a choice of king-size or twin beds. Each room is equipped with satellite television, sound systems, mini bar, beverage facilities, hairdryers, heated towel rails, under-floor heating and ceiling fans.
