Self Catering House Accommodation
in Knysna, Garden Route,
Western Cape, South Africa
Accommodation & Locality
Summer Place is the holiday home of the M A Bain Will Trust.
The downstairs storey is right on the water's edge of the Knysna lagoon and is
available for short-term lets. At high tide, there is nearly meter-deep water
right in front of the stoep. At low tide, a sandy beach is exposed with the
water nearly 100 meters away.
The downstairs level of the house comprises a large living room with panoramic
windows, leading onto a patio facing the lagoon, which is less than 3 meters
below!
The main bedroom has a king-size double bed and the second bedroom comprises two
single beds with a pullout under-bed, if required. Both bedrooms have stunning
views of the lagoon.
The compact kitchen is well appointed with gas stove, fridge/freezer,
dishwasher, microwave, washing machine.
The bathroom includes both shower and bath.
The upper storey is also available for short-term lets independently of the
ground floor storey. This unit has its own entrance and comprises a large
lounge/dining room and very large main bedroom, furnished with an extra-length
king-size double bed. The second bedroom has bunk-beds. The main bedroom leads
on to a view deck with breathtaking lagoon and mountain views. The open-plan
kitchen is modern with all necessary appliances. The bathroom has a shower over
the bath.
Access to the beach is via outside steps only.
Summer Place's location on the water's edge allows you to either soak up the sun
on the patio, or take just a few steps down to the beach!
Swimming in the lagoon is safe. Knysna is on the eastern seaboard of RSA,
promising warm seas all year round.
At low tide, playing beach games or walking on the sandy beach are favourite
pastimes.
If boating makes a waterside holiday special for you, a mooring can be made
available (charge is extra).
Summer Place is not serviced but for an extra charge you may request domestic
help.
Smoking is limited to outdoors only.
Pets are not allowed.
Items available at Summer Place
TV (free channels) - DSTV on request, Weber braai/barbeque, sunshade, heater,
all linen - no beach towels.
Access
Since Summer Place is on the water’s edge, there are approximately 30 steps from
road level down to the lower level of the house. The steps are grouped with
landings in-between but those who are not steady on their feet may find these
steps tedious.
Regrettably Summer Place is not wheel-chair friendly.
