Description:
Situated on a picturesque lagoon beach on Leisure Island in Knysna, Bayhouse is ideal for a family beach holiday.
With accommodation for up to 10 people, this large, upmarket,4 Star self-catering holiday home is superbly located and well-equipped to cater for families with children of all ages.
Our six-bedroom family holiday home on Leisure Island waterfront has nearly 50m of beach frontage and arguably one of the best views of the famous Knysna Heads.
We have spared no expense making this home comfortable for our guests and creating a real home-away-from-home. Just pack your clothes and beach towels and we`ll provide the rest.
Leisure Island is the most sought-after destination for holidaymakers in South Africa`s Favourite Town. A small island (just 4km in circumference) in the lagoon, it is linked to the mainland by a causeway and is secure, private and tranquil with many delightful beaches and panoramic views of Knysna, the famous Knysna Heads and Featherbed Nature Reserve across the estuary.
Bollard Bay is the main beach on the island and offers plenty to do for young and old. When the tide is high you can swim, fish, canoe or sail. At low tide, pump for prawns to use as bait or walk across the sand as far as The Heads.
The island becomes a hub of activity during school holidays and older children will revel in the vibrant social scene. The streets are quiet and safe for walking, jogging, skateboarding and cycling. And the buzzing cosmopolitan town of Knysna is just 10 minutes away.
