Special Features
• This eco-friendly home runs completely off the grid, with solar power and rainwater tanks for a self-sufficient, low-impact lifestyle.
• Access is part of the charm – the road meanders through some natural forest and shrubbery, so a higher-clearance vehicle is recommended.
• This isn’t a shiny new villa – it’s a much-loved beach cottage, renovated but still full of character and history. It’s beautiful in its own way – think less 5-star hotel, more forest-lagoon magic and barefoot living.
Location Perks
You’re just:
• 25 minutes from Knysna by car
• 5 minutes across the lagoon by boat
• Close to Brenton on Lake, Brenton on Sea, and Belvidere
