Sandybanks - Luxury Knysna Accommodation

Sandybanks was designed around the concept of a contemporary boathouse in perfect keeping with its waterfront position on Knysna Lagoon. The house is modern, yet has a wonderfully relaxed feeling about it, through its extensive use of oak and ash woods. It is spacious, but not overwhelming, and whilst it is generally open plan, a second lounge offers the possibility of a little quiet time. Folding sliding doors allow the living areas to extend outside to take full advantage of the magnificent views back to Knysna Town and the Quays.

The house offers flexible self catering accommodation for 2 - 8 guests. There is a 3 bedroom "boathouse" sleeping 6 and a one bedroom "boathouse" sleeping 2, which can be combined into a single unit sleeping 8. Both boathouses are fully equipped and offer luxury accommodation. All linen and bath towels are provided and guests just need to bring beach towels. The boathouses are non smoking and pets are not allowed.

3 Bedroom Boathouse Accommodation

The 3 bedroom boathouse is modern and stylish with an open plan living area that opens out onto a large deck directly overlooking Knysna lagoon. The kitchen is spacious and airey, with an island/breakfast bar in the center. Off to the side is the dining area which overlooks the swimming pool to one side, and opens out into the central courtyard on the other. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom with bath and shower and a balcony overlooking Knysna lagoon. There are two other bedrooms and a family bathroom also with bath and shower. Outside there are decks for al fresco dining and a salt chlorinated swimming pool.
