Each air-conditioned apartment has a spacious sun deck with barbecue facilities. It comes with a fully equipped kitchen, a gas fireplace and 2 bathrooms with free toiletries.

Guests can make use of the self-catering equipment at Beacon House to prepare their own meals. East Head Cafe is located 50 metres from Beacon House.

The location of the house and the views over the island and the sea are simply superb. The house is very clean, nothing to complain about. It has a fully functional kitchen, modern amenities, and comfortable beds, among others. It's so nice to be inside the house after a long day out. The host, with its management team, is the best I've dealt with so far. The host even arranged for a catamaran tour at a reasonable price. Great suggestions for sightseeing and restaurants. I initially booked for one night and ended up with 2 nights. I'll definitely stay again at this apartment. Strongly recommended. My rating is 10/10.

This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the holiday home's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax.

The property was fabulous! The property managers were easy to contact and any requests were actioned quickly. The property is very well kept and beautifully decorated which creates a very homey and relaxing space. The pool was clean and a great addition. The beds were comfortable and there was enough ventilation including windows and ceiling fans. the outdoor wood bath was also a lovely touch. The property had some relaxing music playing when we arrived at the property, which was another great touch :) There was plenty of utensils and 2 fridges, so we had enough space for food and drinks. Great selection of teas as well. The area felt and appeared safe and clean. This was evident in the fact that not many of the houses had excess security (as one usually sees in other parts of South Africa).

    The resort truly offers everything you need to relax and recharge your batteries after a long year. The location is excellent. The Kids Club was a fantastic benefit and the two staff, Philani and Akhona made is great fun. Kids could not wait to go everyday. The waterfront villas gives you a unspoilt view of the nature reserve, Thessen Island and Knysna Heads. The private waterways at the resort means easy launching of your own watercraft.
