Beautifully located and appointed guest house, with stunning views across the lagoon towards the Heads. Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated with a large bathroom (with underfloor heating). Breakfast was to a high standard and Cathy and Simon very welcoming and on hand to give advice on what to do and see. Bikes and canoes are available to borrow.... More

Amanzi sure was the best accommodation throughout our Garden Route. The minute we parked our car, the first thing I said was 'This is exactly the kind of house I've always dreamed of'. Not only it is very cozy, but also homey, clean, spacious and just perfect! The bedroom is nicely decorated, not too much, not too little, just the... More

My wife, daughter and I stayed here for 4 nights. Amanzi has a great location and the island is very scenic and tranquil. Simon and Cathy are lovely hosts and the breakfasts are great.

On our first night we enjoyed a from room with a large balcony which has an incredible... More

The room was great. The view was better. Not bad, but we would probably stay somewhere else next time. There are a lot of options in the area.

We spent three nights here in a room on the ground floor with its own terrace and view of the bay. The rooms are spacious and well furnished with a good sized shower. The breakfasts are excellent and served outside on the veranda. Cathy and Simon are very good hosts who are only too pleased to advise on what to... More

My husband and I spent three nights here during our honeymoon. We loved our bay-facing room, which had a porch, a jacuzzi, and dual showers. The bed was super comfortable, too. The decor is bright and beachy, and Cathy and Simon are so incredibly sweet and resourceful. High recommend.

We booked several B&Bs throughout our Garden Route road trip and Amanzi is without doubt one of our top favorites. Location of Leisure Isle is ideal- only 5km from the Knysna town but offers scenic views and peace & quiet. Rooms and common areas were incredibly spacious and cozy. A dream guesthouse indeed!
