Our 10-day stay at this remarkable house was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of luxury and comfort that exceeded our wildest expectations. The house itself is a masterpiece of design, with every detail meticulously thought out. The decor is stylish and modern, creating a welcoming and relaxing environment. We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful welcome presents for the kids, a gesture that immediately made us feel at home.The attention to detail throughout the house is truly remarkable. From the fully equipped kitchen to the cozy living spaces, every aspect of the house is designed for both style and comfort. We especially appreciated the extras like firewood, which made our evenings by the fireplace even more enjoyable. Host Philip was fantastic, ensuring that every aspect of our stay was perfect. He was always available to answer any questions and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Paul, the owner was also incredible, always ready to assist with any request. The staff from Pezula were outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure that our stay was memorable. They were particularly wonderful with our boys, who had a fantastic time on the golf course. One of the highlights of our stay was the sense of safety and security that the house provided. We felt completely at ease, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time together as a family. We spent many evenings playing board games with our kids until the early hours of the morning, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The scenery surrounding the house is breathtaking, with panoramic views that are truly out of this world. We loved spending time by the pool, soaking in the beauty of our surroundings. A standout experience was kayaking at Noetsi Beach, an adventure that was both exhilarating and serene. The crystal-clear waters and stunning coastline made for a truly unforgettable experience.

    The resort truly offers everything you need to relax and recharge your batteries after a long year. The location is excellent. The Kids Club was a fantastic benefit and the two staff, Philani and Akhona made is great fun. Kids could not wait to go everyday. The waterfront villas gives you a unspoilt view of the nature reserve, Thessen Island and Knysna Heads. The private waterways at the resort means easy launching of your own watercraft.
