Cuningham's Island Guest House

We really enjoyed the location outside of Knysna but within easy access to the town if you have a car. The guesthouse is located close to the entrance of Leasure Island. It’s a beautiful and safe island even though the island itself has a bit of a retirement village atmosphere to it. You are close to the Knysna Heads and other attractions as Thesen Island for example. The room was nice and the owners friendly and helpful. We actually were hardly at the guesthouse at all as we were constantly exploring places and went on a day trip to Tsitsikama National Park for example. Breakfast was fine with the regular choice of eggs, bread, yoghurt and fruit. A nice and quiet place to stay.

Beautiful scenic views, hospitable and friendly management and staff, clean rooms, all toiletries provided and a place with character. WiFi is a bit patchy at times. However it was a most delightful stay.

On a weekend getaway from nearby Port Elizabeth and we chose to stay on Leisure Isle and Cunningham’s was our choice, and a great choice too. We were met by Preston , most genial, and he explained everything thoroughly. Our room was beautifully appointed and quite minimalistic which I loved. Bed was very comfortable and the whole place was so relaxing, so much so that when we woke up in the morning we found that we had slept the whole night through with our door wide open, not a problem as we felt very safe. Did not have breakfast but the spread looked excellent. We had a most thoroughly enjoyable stay and heartily recommend Cunningham’s for a most enjoyable and peaceful stay. For sure we will be back.
