Location
Isola Bella is on the water's edge of Leisure Isle in Knysna. It is 800 metres from Bollard Bay Beach, 3 km from Knysna Heads, and 5 km from Pezula Golf Club. Free private parking is provided, and a car is recommended as the area is somewhat remote. The Garden Route National Park is nearby.
“Isola Bella Guest House finds its strength on Leisure Isle, directly on the lagoon's edge where breathtaking views of the Heads are a constant companion. The thoughtfully decorated home fosters a sense of belonging, amplified by the attentive and warm hospitality of Marisa and her team. It's a tranquil base for exploring Knysna, close enough to amenities yet wonderfully removed.”
