Island Living Meets Boutique Luxury

Where island time slows the soul and every stay feels like coming home, now with a rare opportunity for dual living, guest house or investment flexibility. Just a few sandy steps from Knysna’s beloved Bollard Bay Beach, this exceptional Leisure Isle property offers far more than its current function as a top-rated guesthouse. With its flexible layout, generous proportions, and prime location, it presents a unique opportunity to serve as a luxurious family home, a shared investment between two families, or a private residence with the added benefit of income-generating accommodation. Currently operating as a successful boutique guesthouse, the property features six well, appointed en-suite guest suites, each with private entrances and thoughtful comforts including air conditioning, smart TVs, bar fridges, USB ports, and outdoor showers. Five suites open onto leafy garden courtyards, while the sixth enjoys a private balcony. The layout lends itself naturally to being divided into two distinct wings, offering privacy and independence, ideal for dual ownership or the perfect blend of personal residence and guest income. Central communal areas include a welcoming reception hall, tranquil koi pond, a wind-protected swimming pool, a generous lounge with a combustion fireplace, a formal dining space, and a fully equipped kitchen and scullery, all designed for seamless flow and comfort. Adding to its appeal is a beautifully independent two-bedroom owner’s residence set over two levels. With its own private entrance, double garage, open-plan living areas, pellet fireplace, double-glazed windows, modern kitchen with scullery, and private garden with entertainment area, it offers the privacy and quality of a standalone home. Eco-conscious features include solar power, a 20,000-litre water purification system, automated irrigation, and north-facing orientation for optimal light and warmth. Stylish louvre shutters enhance both security and elegance. Whether you’re envisioning a grand family home, a co-ownership venture between families, or a home that pays for itself—this property offers the flexibility to make that vision a reality. What Makes This Property Stand Out: Versatile Layout: Ideal for a large family, two families purchasing together, or a personal residence with rentable suites. Proven Business Model: Operates successfully as a guesthouse with glowing reviews, loyal returning guests, and full accreditation. Six Luxury Guest Suites: Each with private access and premium amenities for comfort and privacy. Separate Private Home: A fully independent two-bedroom residence for owners or extended family. High-End Finishes & Shared Spaces: Elegant interiors, koi pond, pool, lounge with fireplace, and formal dining. Eco-Efficient Features: Solar, purified water, irrigation, and double-glazed windows.

Life on Leisure Isle: *Unmatched Location: Steps from Bollard Bay Beach and the calm waters of the Knysna Lagoon. Safe and Walkable: Enjoy a peaceful island lifestyle with tree-lined streets, friendly neighbours, and a strong sense of community. Outdoor Recreation: Paddleboarding, kayaking, tennis, bowls, and birdwatching all just moments away. Equestrian Opportunity: Horse-riding lessons with a private trainer available nearby in Pezula Private Estate. Convenient Lifestyle: Close to family-friendly restaurants, quaint cafés, and just minutes from Knysna’s private hospital, shops, and town centre. Most delivery services easily reach the island, making day-to-day life seamless. Gateway to the Garden Route: Enjoy forest hikes, Noetzie’s iconic castles, nearby golf courses, and scenic drives all within easy reach. Whether you’re looking for lifestyle, income, or a unique dual-living solution, this Leisure Isle treasure offers it all in one of Knysna’s most coveted and soulful locations.
