Brian Allan
I have two large dogs on the property; they are very friendly but if you don't like animals or are afraid of dogs then please do not book as I will not lock my babies up in their own home. Experience peace and tranquility in an African themed wooden cottage in natural bush setting. Private entrance and self catering ensures privacy whilst your host Brian is on hand to assist wherever possible. 10 minutes from Knysna central, Waterfront & Thesen Island. 7 minutes from the famous Knysna Heads and 2 minutes from Knysna Golf course. Join me in my piece of paradise, lay by the pool sipping your favorite drink and perhaps spot the Knysna Turaco (Loerie) in the garden. If this cottage is not available for the period of your stay then please look for "Allan Grove 2" (separately listed on Bookingdotcom) - it is very similar but has a little less living room space.
