My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 18 days at One on Bollard. Diane and Rob were the perfect hosts, welcoming, sharing their home with their guests and ensuring a most comfortable and pleasant stay in the process. Leisure Isle, where the guest house is established, is a true South African gem. The breakfast specials were amazing. We have booked for more of the same next year.

In April 2025 we stayed for 4 nights at One on Bollard. Dianne and Rob really went over and above to make our stay great. The room was lovely, the breakfasts delicious and the location was safe and the island was a great place to for for a walk before and after our day's activities. A particular highlight was the recommendation to go to a Jessie Clegg concert 5 minutes down the road that Dianne recommended. It was such a fun to listen to live music and dance with my son!

Every once in a while, you stay in a place that more than exceeds your expectations. Rob and Diane are the best hosts I have ever met. This is a beautifully presented, welcoming and luxurious place set in Leisure Island Knysna. Seldom do you find a place that is perfect in every way. The daily breakfasts were heavenly with freshly baked bread and Muffins daily. You can choose from their daily cooked specials or feast on all the other choices. Homemade preserves, yoghurts, cheeses, fruits, homemade muesli, and much more. The rooms are beautifully decorated and open onto a tranquil private garden with loungers. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linen and pillows perfect. The bathroom has a shower and bath, and quality amenities are provided. The rooms also offer a tea and coffee station and a bar fridge. There are USB ports for charging your devices. Bicycles and kayaks which you can use for free. Beach towels, cooler bag and an umbrella is a bonus. Leisure Island is a magnificent safe and beautiful place with so many activities available. I had a personal tragedy during my stay and Rob and Diane took me under their wing and could not have done more to comfort and support me. Thank you, Rob and Diane, from the bottom of my heart. I will be back as soon as I can.

We had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse. It is a walking distance from the beach, in a very quiet neighborhood. The room has her nice little private garden and the shower is huge. But above all, Diane and Rob are among the nicest people we’ve met during this trip. They are very thoughtful with their guests and they make gorgeous breakfasts!
