Amanzi Island Boutique Hotel  

Perched on Leisure Isle's shoreline of Knysna Lagoon, this lagoon-front beach guesthouse sits steps from Knysna Lagoon and Leisure Isle with sweeping views of the Knysna Heads and Featherbed Nature Reserve. It's a short drive to Knysna Golf Club, Knysna Quays and other Garden Route highlights.

The property offers 13 sunlit, air-conditioned rooms that open onto private balconies or the garden, many with lagoon views. Rooms feature Egyptian cotton sheets, down comforters, LED TVs, iPod docks and minibars; bathrooms include underfloor heating and luxury Charlotte Rhys amenities. Communal spaces include a terrace, lounge with a fireplace and a tucked-away pool for relaxed sundowners.

Relax by the secluded outdoor (and indoor) pools, stroll the terrace for lagoon views, or grab complimentary bikes and kayaks for Leisure Isle adventures. The guesthouse hosts a daily reception and has barbecue grills, two bars/lounges and complimentary wireless internet throughout — perfect for waking up to lagoon-view mornings and easy evening sundowners.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi and a computer station keep you connected. The property also provides dry cleaning/laundry services, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, a 24-hour airport shuttle for a surcharge and free self-parking onsite.

Enjoy breakfast on the terrace — a complimentary English breakfast is served daily from 8:00–9:30 AM — then linger for lunch or dinner at the on-site restaurant. Two bars serve sundowners and light drinks, and limited room service is available for in-room meals.
