    The property was clean, spacious and the hosts were exceptionally hospitable. Rob and Diane clearly went out of their way for all their guests to make it a very personal experience for everyone. We particularly liked the breakfast home made touches and daily breakfast specials they offered which were delicious. They really have thought about the details which make a good place great and memorable. Thankyou so much, from people who don’t normally write reviews we really had to this time.

    Our recent stay at One On Bollard was absolutely amazing. The rooms were comfortable, spacious with all the extras that you could possibly need. Breakfast offered a variety of wholesome and delicious options. The hosts, Rob and Diane are phenomenal and really created an atmosphere of relaxation during our vacation. I would highly recommend this family friendly hotel to anyone looking to enjoy the beautiful sights, views, sea and surroundings of Leisure Island, Knysna.

    We spend 2 weeks in several accommodations and this was by far the best. Such lovely people running it and the house had a very relax atmosphere. Very spacious room and lobby. Breakfast was great with almost everything home made. Nice choice of drinks and local gins for the afternoon and evening.

    Diane and Rob were born to be hosts I would say. They truly care about everything. The room is very confortable and has everything we need. All clean. The breakfast is a masterpiece. The location? OMG leisure isle is so perfect. I even found a seal in the beach, such a paradise. They gave us bicycles and kaiak to make our experience even better. Thank you!!!!

    Thoroughly impressed by the hospitality and charm of this wonderful guest house and its hosts, Diane and Rob. ROOM • The room was incredibly spacious (huge bathroom) and so tastefully decorated with a delightful color scheme, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Attention to detail second to none - loved the small library. • Everything was immaculately clean and well-maintained, and all the amenities were readily available. • Enjoyed spending time on the balcony, watching the birds and taking in the sunset. LOCATION • Situated in Leisure Isle, the location was idyllic and perfect for a peaceful getaway. • The area is rich in enthralling history, adding a layer of intrigue to our stay. Advise a Featherbed Nature Reserve tour to learn more about the area and to savour stunning views. • Felt safe and secure throughout visit at all hours, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy time there. HOSTS You really would be hard pressed to find more affable and easy-going hosts. They went above and beyond in ensuring that you were comfy, relaxed and had all info you needed to have an incredible stay. Unparalleled customer service is definitely front and center of their agenda. • Diane and Rob were incredibly welcoming and accommodating, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrived. • Diane is a fantastic communicator, always on hand, providing reassurance and great recommendations with all the accurate links, no doubt (restaurants etc.) before, during, and after trip. Thank you for checking in and following up after we left! • Rob was most generous with his time and also offered invaluable advice on places to visit, enhancing our overall experience. Enjoyed your recommendation of the Old Nick Village. Couldn't have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend One on Bollard to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in a marvellous guest house in Knysna area.

    It was just an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. A beautiful B&B is situated within walking distance to the beach. Well located to allow exploration of the garden route. Diane and Rob were so welcoming and accommodating. We were upgraded to the 'Sam Room'- a wonderful suite with its own sitting area and garden with its own private access. The room was large and comfortable, and the shower had excellent water pressure. The breakfast was incredible, with a wide selection of homemade deliciousness as well as a different breakfast special each morning. We had some cloudy weather during our stay. However, with Diane and Rob's assistance, we were not short of activities or the best table bookings at the local restaurants. Every little detail is taken care of, and nothing is too much to ask. Diane quickly noticed my love of tea and, without asking, stocked our room so we wouldn't run out. Their years of travelling and experience are clearly evident from their customer service (although we left feeling more like family than customers), well thought out breakfast menu and expert knowledge of the area (activities and restaurants). The B&B is situated on Leisure Isle, which has a beautiful beach and Steenkamp nature reserve- perfect for afternoon walks. If you're planning a trip to Knysna (or the Garden Route), as a couple/family/group of friends, this is definitely the place to stay.
