Beautiful and spacious semi self-catering guestrooms that can accommodate from1 to 4 guests. Equipped with Smart TV's, full DSTV channels, microwave oven and fridge/freezer. Soaps and towels are supplied and tea/coffee tray with milk and biscuits are standard. Secure parking on the premises and balcony to relax and view the lush greenery of the surrounding forest canopy. Enjoy a Braai/BBQ area in the garden whilst watching the abundance of bird life in the area. Perfect for taking a walk or hop on a bicycle to explore the area. Large bathroom with King size bath to relax in or have a shower. Super clean linen and comfortable Queen size bed in main room with 2 single beds in adjacent room.
We are very humble and down to earth people that enjoy nature and outdoor activities. We love to go paddling on the lagoon, fishing, cycling or hiking. We enjoy the company of other people and to meet new guests. We have 15 years experience in the Guesthouse business and enjoy hosting.
Hunters Home is a quiet and safe neighborhood of Knysna with a forest feeling to it. We are in close proximity of Leisure Island, The Heads and Pezula Golf Estate. The Knysna Golf Course is a mere 300m from us and the Knysna Life Private Hospital approx. 1km away. We have beautiful picnic and swimming areas at Leisure Island and Coney Glen beach at The Heads which is approx. 3km from us. Boat launching can be done at Leisure Isle Boat Club.
