Prospect Cottage

Prospect Cottage is a charming, spacious, comfortably furnished three-bedroom home suitable for up to six people. We have been operating for 14 successful years, and offer excellent value for your money. It is also an ideal venue for honeymooners as they have the space and privacy of the entire house and garden.

A bottle of bubbly welcomes you to paradise. Sip drinks on the elevated wooden deck with panoramic views of the lagoon and the Knysna Heads or enjoy the view from the lounge/dining room and bedrooms. Relish the tranquil country lifestyle of Knysna with easy access to the Garden Route and Klein Karoo.

The cottage is ideally situated and only a three-minute walk to central Knysna and the lagoon, yet off the busy main road. Off street parking is available, easy access to boating and water sport facilities, restaurants, shops, and a short stroll from the Knysna Waterfront complex. The location is secure and hassle free.
