Casa stupenda proprio davanti alla laguna sull'isola di Leisure inserita in un contesto di belle case. Zona sicura. Bellissima la nostra camera familiare con grande vetrata vista mare. Casa molto pulita. Letto comodo. Affabile e gentile l'host Mike. Ottima colazione.
Leisure è un'ottima alternativa a Knysna e Thesen Island, comunque vicinissime, se ami soggiornare in un posto un po' più defilato.

Every single thing. Location, rooms, facilities, ambience, breakfast . Every thing was par excellence and felt like home away from home. Mike was extra kind and helped us decide what to do around town. His suggestions made our trio even more memorable. He was so nice that he even helped fix my broken suitcase and I will forever remember that kindness
Absolutely nothing !!

Die sehr schöne Unterkunft, direkt am kleinen Strand von Leisure Isle gelegen hat uns direkt vom ersten Anblick begeistert. Der traumhafte Pool vor dem Haus und der sehr schöne hinter dem Haus lassen sofort Urlaubsfeeling entstehen. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und Mike versorgte uns mit einer Menge guter Tipps.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the setting, scenery & view is beautiful. Bollard House was so welcoming - Mike is an extremely nice gent & very informative! The rooms were lovely - comfortable & very clean. The breakfast was delightful with everything you would want & Mike & the team were very attentive, arriving extra early to do our breakfast the day we were leaving! Leisure Isle is a short drive to the waterfront in Knysna so you would need a vehicle but there are lots of restaurants nearby to get lovely food - great pizza & sushi at Nina’s!
No faults with Bollard House - one tip - the majority of restaurants on Leisure Isle do not have a alcohol license but you can take your own so be sure take a bottle along :)

Location and very friendly staff, especially the owner Mike
Loved everything but as with seemingly all South African hotels / guest houses in general the pool was more of a plunge pool than length swimming one. That’s not a complaint merely a fact and we knew what we were getting. Didn’t spoil our stay at all.

Amazing location, comfortable and beautiful accommodation.

Location is perfect and Mike was super accommodating and friendly.
The water pressure in the upstairs room wasnt great when the room below was running water or showering at the same time, this should be looked at as its a relatively simple fix.
4.5
The host and the staff were really warm and engaging. We loved the location in the Island. Stone throw away from the Bolard Bay Beach and a few kilometers from the Knysna heads.
Breakfast options were not great. Particularly on cereals, juice and hot beverage options.
