Beautiful location. Our room was lovers nest, so close to the water, it was like being in a boat! We went out in kayaks which was great. So fun to see the tide come in and out. Beautiful gardens.

At the tip of Leisure Island and overlooking the Knysna Lagoon, this hotel has an outdoor pool and terrace with panoramic views. Its rooms have a furnished balcony or patio.

Staying at Amanzi was pure magic. The warm, personal service made us feel truly cared for, and every detail of the design was breathtaking – elegant, serene, and perfectly in tune with nature. The views were unforgettable, the atmosphere peaceful, and the entire experience felt like a dream. A true hidden gem in Knysna. Can't wait to come back.
