Amanzi Island Boutique Hotel  

Perched on Leisure Isle on the shores of Knysna Lagoon, this boutique beach guesthouse looks out to the Knysna Heads and Featherbed Nature Reserve. You're a short hop from the golf course, Knysna Quays and the town’s waterfront sights.

Bright, beach-house rooms open onto private balconies or patios with lagoon or garden views. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with LED/satellite TV, iPod docks, refrigerators, Egyptian cotton sheets and down comforters. Bathrooms feature underfloor heating and Charlotte Rhys luxury products for a cozy finish.

Relax by a secluded outdoor pool (and an indoor pool option), sip sundowners on the terrace with lagoon breezes, or roam the isle on complimentary bikes and kayaks. Property perks include a bar/lounge, barbecue area, library, lobby fireplace, complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout and free self-parking. Airport and area shuttle services are available for a surcharge.

A conference hall and reception space handle meetings and small events. There’s a computer station and complimentary wireless internet to keep work flowing.

An on-site restaurant and two bars/lounges serve the property. A complimentary English breakfast is served on the terrace each morning (around 8:00–9:30), room service runs during limited hours, and the bar is the place for sunset drinks before heading out to explore Knysna’s dining scene.
