Escape to this beautiful off-the-grid lagoon retreat, tucked away on the Western Head of Knysna Lagoon — near Brenton on Lake and Featherbed . Just 10 meters from the water’s edge, this self-catering family cottage opens directly onto the lagoon, where you can swim, fish, paddle, moor your boat, or simply relax on the small beach right outside. A private boat mooring is included.

The Space
As you arrive, you step into a fully enclosed entertainment area – a relaxed indoor-outdoor space featuring a 12-seater dining bench, comfy couches, bar counter, and dartboard. Slide open the windows for fresh lagoon breezes, or head out onto the open balcony deck, where another big table invites long meals, sundowners, and connection with nature.
Inside, the home has a fully equipped kitchen with:
• Gas stove & oven
• Gas geysers
• Inverter and solar power backup
• DSTV & WiFi

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Downstairs:
• Room 1: Queen-size bed, en-suite with bath, shower, toilet & basin.
• Room 2: Queen-size bed, en-suite with shower, toilet & basin.
• Room 3: King-size bed (can convert into two singles) — ideal for kids or friends — en-suite with bath, shower & basin.
Upstairs:
• Room 4: A rustic, loft-style space – simple, quirky, and perfect for teens or extra guests. It gets warm in summer and chilly in winter, but there’s an inverter-powered aircon to keep you comfy.
Please note: this room has no en-suite, but a separate bathroom with shower, toilet, and basin is just off the deck downstairs.

Outdoor Living
The open balcony is made for lazy afternoons and big family braais. There’s:
• A double built-in braai
• A 12-seater outdoor table with comfy chairs
• A Weber braai for casual grilling
• A guest bathroom with shower, toilet & basin
• Canoes, kneeboards & a few other fun extras

Special Features
• This eco-friendly home runs completely off the grid, with solar power and rainwater tanks for a self-sufficient, low-impact lifestyle.
• Access is part of the charm – the road meanders through some natural forest and shrubbery, so a higher-clearance vehicle is recommended.
• This isn’t a shiny new villa – it’s a much-loved beach cottage, renovated but still full of character and history. It’s beautiful in its own way – think less 5-star hotel, more forest-lagoon magic and barefoot living.

Location Perks
You’re just:
• 25 minutes from Knysna by car
• 5 minutes across the lagoon by boat
• Close to Brenton on Lake, Brenton on Sea, and Belvidere

This is a truly unique place to unplug, recharge, and reconnect — with your people and with nature.
