It’s in a fabulous position overlooking the Knysna lagoon. Our bedroom was more of a suite so it was very comfortable and spacious. Mark is a warm and friendly host. It’s a secured property making you feel safe at night.

Located in a cottage-style house directly on the edge the Knysna Lagoon, TwoAngels offers a variety of uniquely designed self-catering accommodation with panoramic views.

We loved our stay in Robert’s beautiful house with its gorgeous gardens and wonderful staff, particularly Florence and Perseverance. We were right on the water with a remarkable view across to Featherbed Bay and Leisure Isle. So restful to have sundowners and watch the moon rise over the lagoon, then enjoy a barbecue on the pretty lawn before dropping off to the sounds of the water. Two Angels has a gate that opens directly into the sand to take advantage of the lagoon in all its moods or walk across at low tide to the island. Thank you to Robert, Florence and Perseverance for your gracious assistance. This is a hidden gem. Not a problem for us but just be aware the steps down from the road are steep but staff will help with your bags if you need assistance. The East Head cafe within walking distance has excellent coffee and breakfasts, with views over the Heads. And like other East Heads properties down on the water, Two Angels is happily sheltered from any wind.
