The location is one of the best in Knysna and the Kingfisher suite we stayed in was luxurious and spacious offering incredible views over the Knysna Lagoon and Knysna Heads. The breakfast was included in our rate and we really enjoyed the menu variety and high quality on offer. On the one evening, we enjoyed dinner in the restaurant and we were similarly impressed with the varied menu and delicious meals. My fillet steak and my partners lamb shank were both exceptional. You also simply just have to try the baked yoghurt and berry sauce dessert - sublime! The highlight for us was the incredible staff at Amanzi. From checkin to garden staff - all consistently good with friendly and helpful dispositions. Special mention to Fortune and Miriam who were particularly outstanding. The hotel also has a very comfortable minivan that transfers guests, whether it is to do some sightseeing at the Heads or an airport transfer. The rates are very reasonable and we enjoyed using this service on one occasion. We look forward to returning to Amanzi on a future trip. ![View from the Kingfisher Suite](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5CAA67EF2BDAB898E32B387DC4BC0C59CEF1442A1683019858663.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Sunset from the Kingfisher Suite](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1FA9423A9ABB4F24E05278C66D56E457C339282D1683019857771.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lounge area](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61440317D018F6F3122EAF66540C7F177598846A1683019858366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from lounge ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/723DFEDDAD82923AE802B49C44106674956034E71683019865609.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Craig Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marisa Gomes 26 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities SENSACIONAL!!!! Adoramos os 3 dias que passamos neste hotel.. ficamos na suite Milkwood, grande, espaçosa, com uma grande varanda de frente para a praia, com mesa e espreguiçadeiras… Decoração clean, elegante, tudo de muito bom gosto, tanto as fotografias quanto os quadros e as esculturas. O atendimento foi extremamente gentil e atencioso em todos os momentos. Café da manhã excelente, além do buffet com pães, queijos, embutidos, frutas, yogurts e sucos ainda havia a possibilidade de escolher um item do cardápio a ser feito na hora. A lojinha também é muito especial… tudo muito charmoso… Única sugestão de melhoria é colocar blackout nesta suite pois as cortinas não conseguem filtrar a luz da manhã!!! No mais tudo excelente. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a89183ec-143b-4cdb-9338-eb27e5f2997f-1766784159461.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cdd57327-fc30-4cd4-88fe-3d41042a5562-1766784173663.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95a20b98-035f-4e82-86e1-50c069400fc5-1766784174678.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a8ab12f9-0ce8-418b-b2a5-1cb2f7215c69-1766784178418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Marisa Gomes Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faigy 19 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location and accomodations, small B&B.

We stayed in the honeymoon suite which had our very own pool! But best of all was the view! We were also ecstatic with the amazing hospitality. We were surprised with a bottle of champagne and chocolate covered strawberries which were a very nice touch. The property has bikes you can take at your leisure as well as paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy! We wished we stayed a few days instead of one night. But we will definitely be back and bring some friends! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ACAD0A207095194D2215ABC10DFC13C8C522B1CB1566507573382.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/BA5F3C40AB68F7B7262AC2B2922525750DB2111C1566507564755.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Incredible view of the sea and Knysna Heads, beautifully appointed rooms, helpful and knowledgeable staff - truly the most beautiful hotel I’ve stayed in yet in South Africa. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This property and location is stunning!

A beautiful view of the Knysna heads was available in our room (Coral Suite). Leisure Isle in general was very peaceful and great for running, walking, and biking. The Amanzi staff was great and gave us great recommendations for what to do in Knysna. The hotel also had free bikes and kayaks for use (a facility we took full advantage of). Breakfast was nice and had many options available from a buffet to cooked breakfast. The room was spacious, the king sized bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was well appointed. The only criticism we have for Amanzi is that the WiFi was a WEP encrypted connection (not as secure as WPA2, etc.) and would drop out intermittently. All in all, an almost perfect relaxing vacation spot. ##### Andrew ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gondwana Tented Eco Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Gondwana-Tented-Eco-Camp.h31869455.Hotel-Information) > > [Aquila Private Game Reserve & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Touws-River-Hotels-Aquila-Private-Game-Reserve-Spa.h6347327.Hotel-Information) > > [Santos Express Train Lodge - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mossel-Bay-Hotels-Santos-Express-Train-Lodge-Hostel.h8966799.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuganha Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Breede-River-Hotels-Kuganha-Tented-Camp.h36060545.Hotel-Information) > > [Rukiya Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Rukiya-Safari-Camp.h18302655.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani River Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h57157744.Hotel-Information) > > [Montpellier De Tulbagh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tulbagh-Hotels-Montpellier-De-Tulbagh.h15426199.Hotel-Information) > > [Shamwari Eagles Crag](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paterson-Hotels-Shamwari-Eagles-Crag.h29151230.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Sol](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wilderness-Hotels-Villa-Sol.h38806067.Hotel-Information) > > [White Water Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stanford-Hotels-White-Water-Farm.h13131137.Hotel-Information) > > [Margate Beach Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margate-Hotels-Margate-Beach-Club.h9458217.Hotel-Information) > > [Pumba Private Game Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grahamstown-Hotels-Pumba-Private-Game-Reserve.h2319463.Hotel-Information) > > [Kwa Maritane Self-Catering Chalets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pilanesberg-National-Park-Hotels-Kwa-Maritane-Self-Catering-Chalets.h22471915.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun City Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-Soho-Hotel-Casino-At-Sun-City-Resort.h527184.Hotel-Information) > > [Vuyani Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hoedspruit-Hotels-Vuyani-Safari-Lodge-All-Inclusive.h36961786.Hotel-Information) > > [On The Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durban-North-Hotels-On-The-Beach.h100470383.Hotel-Information) > > [Dolphin View Cabanas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Umdloti-Hotels-Dolphin-View-Cabanas.h10410615.Hotel-Information) > > [Sanbona Wildlife Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barrydale-Hotels-Sanbona-Wildlife-Reserve.h1155735.Hotel-Information) > > [Travellers Rest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prince-Albert-Hotels-Travellers-Rest.h16126269.Hotel-Information) > > [Ruby Rose](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riebeeck-West-Hotels-Ruby-Rose.h22647891.Hotel-Information) > > [Arabella Hotel Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kleinmond-Hotels-Arabella-Hotel-Golf-Spa.h696005.Hotel-Information) > > [Coot Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stanford-Hotels-Spookhuis-Cottages.h15943940.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [Mdluli Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Mdluli-Safari-Lodge.h38870272.Hotel-Information) > > [Sebatana Private Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vaalwater-Hotels-Sebatana-Private-Reserve.h32459379.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cascades-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9515.Hotel-Information) > > [Selborne Golf Estate, Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pennington-Hotels-First-Group-Selborne-Golf.h4329711.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Africa Rooms and Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Plettenberg-Bay-Hotels-Grand-Africa-Rooms-And-Rendezvous.h4304539.Hotel-Information) ---
