What an amazing location. The most beautiful spot in Knysna. You have beautiful views of the ocean and the lagoon. Breakfast was included and on site and was absolutely delicious. While having breakfast and overlooking the lagoon we planned our day with the help of Lana, the most wonderful and gracious host - before we knew it she assisted us with making a booking on the most amazing catamaran experience which goes through the entry way between the heads. I am in two minds about giving feedback on the room because I would love nothing more than to gatekeep it forever but omg! You must book the deluxe executive room the one that overlooks the entry point where ocean meets lagoon it is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much to Lana and the ladies for making our stay so memorable! We will definitely be back! We miss you all like you are family! Special shootout to "liefie" the doggo who was the hostest with the mostest for sure!

David the owner is the sweetest man who went out of his way to assist me. Isaac, who works there, is very sweet and welcoming. The accommodation is absolutely stunning beyond words. The room is beautifully designed in every way possible, along with an extremely comfy room, spottless, sparkling clean, neat, and surroundings, with a fabulous private balcony, such a treat. The view from the balcony is out of this world with a stunning garden. The location is so special and very peaceful and quiet.....what a pleasure. I highly recommend 14 Mount Joy so do not miss your opportunity to book your room here anytime. Michelle (Israel).

I don't think by looking at the listing travellers will realise HOW AMAZING this location is! it literally is ON the water, and when the tide recedes leaves a beautiful private beachfront. The neighbouring properties are situated further along the beach and aroung the bend, so it feels completely isolated and private. This is a gem, and the perfect place to treat a loved one.

Very cute place right on the beach with great people. Not like anywhere we’ve ever stayed and so much character. No breakfast but fantastic breakfast and lunch place just a couple of minutes walk away. Free use of the kayaks to go around the lagoon was a nice bonus!

What a beautiful place, perfect location on a private island with a private beach. Rooms had everything you would need, the breakfast was amazing with something new every day. What made the place special was the hosts. Diane and Rob were amazing, it really felt like they were family. What an amazing gem this place is
