This property is run at present as a delightful well-maintained historic (no heritage restrictions) guesthouse with magnificent views over the Knysna lagoon and the Heads. The well-appointed bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, many with an outside verandah. With the peaceful, lush, and fully grown garden, you would certainly not think that the centre of town is only a stone's throw away, and the well-sized sparkling pool is tucked away, giving you the privacy you would appreciate.

The Oregon pine floors give a warm and homely feeling to the large living room/lounge opening to an expansive outside deck from which you can enjoy the views overlooking the lagoon during breakfast or an evening drink. For the cooler evenings, there is a fireplace that heats up the whole living area easily. Including an entertainer's bar with built-in braai to host your guests.

The house has a spacious, functional kitchen with a farm-style table, double level oven, gas hob and scullery tucked away with tile flooring for easy cleaning. There is space for all appliances a kitchen needs and there is a separate laundry outside.

The spacious owner's accommodation inside the main house, also with Oregon pine flooring, has a fireplace, a full bathroom en-suite, a walk-in closet with a safe, and a study alcove for admin and its own private deck overlooking the lagoon.

The two spacious cottages (with possible space for kitchenette) have separate entrances, one leading off the delightful, sheltered courtyard, and the other with its own grapevine-covered verandah.

Each of the bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms in the outside annex opens onto its own private balcony with views over the lagoon and Heads, giving complete privacy to guests. The visitor parking accommodates 8 cars inside the property (6 under shadenet), and up to 5 cars outside the entrance which is also used to park larger tour operator vans such as Kombi's and Quantums.

Furniture and other business assets can be bought separately. Price negotiable.
