Located on beautiful, safe Leisure Isle 50m from the Knysna Lagoon & 500m from Bollard Bay, this relaxed family holiday home is set on 1200m2 of garden and is a north facing corner property. The garden has plenty of lush green (spike water) lawn for kids to run around and play, a trampoline & swing. Swimming in the lagoon doesn't get any better, and you can stroll back in your costume and towel. The garden is full of birds & fruit trees with avo, guava, granadilla, figs bananas & herbs.
I am a Producer working in the South African film industry, mostly with foreign filmmakers. I am a wife and mother of 2 young children. We love walks on the mountain (in our backyard), cooking, visiting the many markets in Cape Town, and getting together with friends and family.
Leisure Island is a rare and beautiful place. It very relaxed and there are no high walls or electric fences. The island is safe and friendly. Children and people walk, cycle, run and swim and never feel concerned about their safety. It is very beautiful with the crystal clear lagoon and the awesome Knysna heads on the 1 side. If you are keen on water sports you can not do better than Leisure Isle. There is a single road in and out, with a guard hut and a security camera. Gardens are very important on Leisure Island and it is wonderful to admire all the beautiful gardens while strolling around the island. You feel like you are in the middle of nature yet you are only 10 minutes away from the nearest shops and restaurants. Leisure isle is best experienced on foot or bike. Trips into town could be on bike and is about a 10 minute car drive away.
