ABOUT THE
ISLAND |
|
The idyllic picture postcard scene is an everyday reality of life on
Leisure Isle, a tiny island set in the midst of the vast Knysna Lagoon
on the spectacular Garden Route coast.

Linked to the mainland by a narrow causeway, Leisure Isle is a haven of
peace and tranquility. Here, life is savoured at a leisurely pace... cars
drive slowly along twisting roads, kids ride bicycles freely, residents
enjoy daily sunset walks around the scenic 4km periphery and holiday
makers relax on sun-drenched beaches or swim in the crystal clear waters
of the lagoon. |

|
Leisure Isle boasts an
art gallery, fine dining, a small boat harbour and its own
nature reserve teeming with a vast variety of bird life. Less than 10
minutes drive from the centre of Knysna, Leisure Isle is perfectly
positioned to take full advantage of all the
activities the town and its environs
has to offer while maintaining seclusion and safety. |
|
The charm and ambience of Leisure Isle also lies in the haphazard juxtaposition of the old and the new, reflecting its long history and the changes in architectural style as well as the affluence of its residents. Grand mansions and villas sit comfortably alongside modest seaside cottages. Leisure Isle welcomes all with unpretentious warmth and hospitality. |
