Lovely property in a gorgeous area. Our only complaint is that it was so very very cold in the house!!! Other than that it was great and Verushka was just lovely.

Hi Christina,
Thank you for your review and we are thrilled to hear that you had a lovely stay. Thank you for your feedback regrading the temperature. Aside from the underfloor heating there are also additional convector heaters that can be used by guests if ever required. I believe these are in the garage but will double check this in case they were missed.
All the very best for the future and we hope to see you again at some point.
Kind regards
Daryl
Wonderful property in a spectacular area. Very clean, modern appliances and lots of room for 6 adults. We loved sitting outside around the pool area and enjoying the wood burning bbq.

A stunning property in a world class location.
The designer property is ideally situated within the world class Pezula Private Estate where you can relax away from the stresses of life in complete tranquillity and security. The house has wonderful living and outdoor space to allow large groups to spread out and enjoy their own peaceful areas. The accommodation is luxurious, beautiful en suites, and the beds appeared new and very comfortable. The views from the windows capture the essence of the surrounding nature and you're sure to see plenty of wildlife if you care to stand and look.
It's a short drive to the town of Knysna ( but I wouldn't suggest walking unless you're fit!) and the lagoon, and even shorter to the wonderful Pezula golf course which you can glimpse from a bedroom window.
I couldn't fault the property and hope to return again.

A stunning 5 star property within a peaceful and secure private estate
We had an absolutely fantastic holiday staying at this beautiful, spacious house within the Pezula estate. The accommodation exceeded my expectations and was immaculately presented. We enjoyed the peaceful environment and the lovely views. We attended Pezula hotel gym and made use of their spa facilties and gourmet restaurant, we also played tennis. We found the location within easy distance of Knysna and the attractions along the The Garden route. We enjoyed the walks within the Pezula estate and down to the private beaches.
We are definitely planning to return next time with the whole family!

Lovely house exactly as pictured
The house was lovely, provisions provided which was very helpful as it is 15 mins to the nearest shop! Great golf courses nearby.
Only.negative comment is that the pool was not clean.

Dear Hazel,
Thank you for your review of the house. We are thrilled to hear that you had a great stay on the whole. However, we was very sorry to learn of the issue you found in relation to the pool not being clean. I have been looking into the issue with both the owner and local property managers and I have found out that 1 week prior to your arrival the pool had a leak. A repair was carried out but the pool had to be drained and repaired in order to do so. Because of the eco-system at Pezula the owner is unable to use a normal sand filter for the pool which is most effective and instead has to use paper cartridge filters. The down side of these is that after getting it up and running again it appears that it has took longer than anticipated for the pool to return to its normal standard. This is the first issue we have had in 10 years and we can only apologise that it was not in as perfect condition as we would have hoped during your stay. The owner has since made further investment in the pool to ensure we can try to avoid this situation again in future. It hasn't helped with the eucalyptus trees to the rear and the high winds prior to and during your stay. There is also a regular pool maintenance cleaning plan in place but we unfortunately cannot make this a daily visit.
We wish you all the best for the future and if you ever wish to return please contact me for a special rate as an apology for the standard of the pool being lower than we would have expected during this visit.
Kind regards
Daryl

Tolles Haus
Super Haus mit 4 Schlafzimmern und ideal gelegen für Golfer. Sicherheit sehr hoch. Pool sollte meiner Meinung nach mit einer Heizung ausgestattet werde.

Beautiful peaceful Place
This Villa in the Pezula Private Estate is wonderful for relaxing holiday.
The Villa has a nice garden and a large swimming pool with outside barbecue and seating area. It has all the amenities you need for a great holiday.
The Noetzie beach is close by which is a quiet beach that is great for a morning and afternoon swim in the ocean and/or in the river.
The only minor point is that the beds are small, especially for 2 persons.

Blissful
A fantastic house that is great for entertaining and relaxing. Pezula Private Estate is something special. We were met by the villa manager at the gate to Pezula who kindly showed us the property and how everything worked. The property was clean and presentable. There are a few things that require some maintenance and I found the beds a little uncomfortable. I would certainly recommend the property to friends and family.

About the host
Hosted by Celia Cooper
My name is Celia Cooper. I manage a small portfolio of exclusive properties in Cyprus and South Africa. We have been taking bookings and managing guests staying at this property since 2012 and have received fantastic feedback from many happy clients.
Why they chose this property
Greenland's House on Pezula Private Estate is like no other property I have ever seen. I visited and stayed at the house myself in April 2012 and was amazed by architectural design and standard of finish the owner David has achieved. The property is built within the Pezula Estate which also forms part of a nature reserve with a selection of wildlife inhabiting here. The property also backs onto the Pezula Championship Golf Course making it very popular with keen golfers from around the world.
