Villa 16  

Tucked into Knysna on the Garden Route, this villa sits steps from the Cape Floral Region Protected Areas and a short drive to Fisherman's Path Sparrebosch Trail. Knysna Lagoon, Knysna Golf Club, Leisure Isle and Thesen Island are all within a few kilometers, and Plettenberg Bay Airport is about 36.6 km away.

This individually decorated villa pairs cozy vibes with practical comforts — think a fireplace, flat-screen TV and a private furnished balcony/patio. The full kitchen has a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven and stovetop for self-catering. Bathrooms feature a deep soaking tub and a rainfall showerhead.

Take in the views from a terrace and garden, fire up the barbecue grills, or relax by the balcony — perfect for fresh Garden Route mornings. Onsite perks include an elevator/lift and guest laundry for ease during longer stays.

Wireless internet access is available (surcharge) and free self parking is onsite — handy if you're driving the coast.

There's an on-site restaurant for easy meals and a barbecue area for hands-on cooking. The equipped kitchen also lets you shop local produce and dine in.
