Isola Bela is situatuated in the most idyllic spot looking on the Knysna Heads on Leisure Isle, Knysna. We were lucky to have a very large comfortable room, spacious bathroom and a beautiful view. The communal kitchenette was a treat and the sunset deck was lovely to watch the boats and tides coming in and out and to see the glorious sunset.
Thank you Marisa for the warm hospitality, generous room upgrade and the snacks, complimentary tea and coffee.
Nothing. A lovely spot to relax.

I have mixed feelings about this property. The location was lovely as it was overlooking the lagoon, but the issue was two of the four rooms do not have a view of the lagoon, in fact, one of them only has a view of the back wall, but you have the option to go upstairs to a public balcony and see the view. Apart from that the place was lovely. The quality of furnishing was t very high quality. The location was pretty good but was about 5 km outside the town so you would need a car. It does not have a swimming pool and unfortunately the lagoon may not be deep enough to swim in when the tide is out
two of the four rooms do not have a view of the lagoon, even though the view is what is touted by most reviews and the guest house itself

Clean with a good location
Balconies are shared. Rooms do not have sea views which is not the impression created by the photos. Fridge and coffee facilities are shared and inadequate for the number of people staying.

Great location right beside the lagoon. Marisa is an engaging and helpful host.

Great location. I enjoyed exploring the island on foot. Knysna Heads has a spectacular viewpoint and breakfast restaurant, only a short distance away. We had been to Knysna once or twice but had neglected to explore this area which is definitely worth a visit. Our host made us feel very welcome. The room has nice finishing touches and is bright.
The communal kitchen area is rather basic, ok for making hot drinks and warming a meal in a microwave.

Location is prime Leisure Isle. It doesn't come much better than Isola Bella. Stunning outlook to the heads and close to eateries on the island. Isolla A very comfortable lounge with a really beautiful outlook from the deck.
No catered meals were offered eg breakfast and although the coffee bar was well stocked and equipped, In the absence of a catered breakfast, it would be tricky to self cater for breakfast.

The location was incredible. Such a beautiful view from out balcony, over the lagoon, looking out over the Heads.
Uncomfortable pillows, short bed, no daily cleaning service.

The guest house is just lovely furnished, clean and very safe with lovely views on The Heads. The owner, Marisa, is superb caring, friendly and helpful. It was an extraordinary place to stay for 2 nights, pity we could not stay longer. I loved the walk around the island in the morning. Many thanks, Marisa.

The location and the owner
Bed linen was a little tired, probably because the facility was up for sale. The hairdryer was wholly inadequate.
