Self Catering Lagoonside Holiday Apartment, Knysna, Southern Cape
One of the very few apartments in this sought after holiday town that is on the lagoonside. Laguna Grove is a complex of 48 apartments, all privately owned, of which a majority are available for holiday letting. Comprising three blocks of three stories, painted white with green pitched roofs, it is a Knysna Landmark, next to the Black Oyster Catcher pub and restaurant perched over the yachting marina. It is situated a 3 wood away from the Knysna Quays Waterfront Retail Centre where you can choose between seven restaurants, and next door to the departure point for cruises to the Featherbed Nature Reserve, to the Heads, or through the Heads.
For those who own a boat, there are two jetties at the property belonging to individual owners of two jetty clubs, and many are available for short term leases to Laguna Grove residents. Number 37 is a ground floor apartment with garage parking, and is situated next to the complex’s own launching slipway. All ground floor apartments have patios which lead directly onto the lawns.
For the security conscious, the driveway, parking and apartment entrances are within a security fence, equipped with automatic entrance and exit gates. Apartment 37 has burglar bars and trellis fitted to all doors and windows.
The spacious 96 square metre apartment has a relaxed living area of lounge and dining area leading into the kitchen, and the whole area, including the entrance passage, has elegant tiled floors, ideal for waterside holidaymakers. For the bad weather days there is a large TV set, DSTV satellite decoder, and a video and DVD player.
The kitchen is very well equipped, with tasteful wood finished kitchen units, a counter top hob, under counter oven, microwave oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. It is fully equipped with pots and pans, casseroles, cutlery and crockery.
The stoep (veranda) is ideal for al fresco breakfasts or lunches, and for the evening braai (barbeque) a Weber braai is supplied. Literally five metres from the waters edge you could set your rod holder and watch for a nibble as you enjoy a leisurely sun downer!
The relaxed lounge area looks out over the jetties, past the yacht marina and the navigable channel down towards the heads. Depending upon the tide, there will either be water lapping the embankment half a meter from the lawn, or a stretch of sand revealed. Being on the deepwater channel, swimming is possible from the jetty on all tides.
The master bedroom suit is equipped with a luxurious king-size bed and fitted cupboards, and a bathroom with toilet, wash basin and shower en suit. With the trellis door secure you can slip away to sleep with the sound of water lapping the embankment only seven metres away from where you lie.
The second bedroom, the “bird room”, is decorated in beige, with fitted cupboards and twin beds
As is “the blue room”.
Both share a bathroom equipped with toilet, washbasin and shower.
