Offering an outdoor pool, Tides End Manor House is located in Knysna. The accommodation will provide you with 7 en suite bedrooms with showers.

There is a full kitchen with a dishwasher and a microwave. You can enjoy a lake view from the upper-level rooms and a garden view from all the lower-level rooms.

First of all, the most important thing is that yes, you have the entire house to yourself. This is truly incredible and we weren't completely sure when we booked, so it was a bit exciting to find out we had the whole place. You can choose which rooms to stay in. The top two rooms have a rooftop terrace with a fantastic view. The house is generally quite large, a bit older and worn, but this adds to its charm. The kitchen is better equipped than our own at home. The key handover and information we received during check-in were fantastic, thank you again. The garden is very beautiful and inviting for relaxation. Especially when traveling with a larger group, this is the perfect accommodation. However, even as a couple in the large house, it was extremely exciting and unbeatable for this price. Many things can be explored on foot, but we still recommend having a car to really explore the surrounding area. We felt very comfortable and safe, and can definitely recommend this accommodation.

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.
