OverviewRooms/RatesArea/MapReviews (7)
Situated on beautiful Leisure Isle in the Knysna lagoon, our B&B has three en-suite double rooms and one has an extra two bedded room making a family suite.
We are on the waters edge and each room has a balcony from which to enjoy the view. A full hot and cold breakfast is served but a small kitchenette is available to prepare other meals.
Two golf courses can be seen from our B&B and it is a bird-watchers paradise with land birds, water birds and migrants readily seen from the balconies.
All rooms have tea and coffee making facilities.
Two rooms have baths as well as showers in their en-suite bathrooms.
One bedroom has an extra-length king-sized bed for the very tall guests. All other rooms have either twin beds or a king-sized bed.
Your friendly hosts are Ian and Joan Huskisson. Joan is a dietitian and willing to adhere to any special dietary requirements if given advanced notice.

Local area description
Lieve Joan en Ian, Wat zijn jullie een fantastisch paar samen en dan zo genieten op die leeftijd, respect daarvoor. We hopen dat we daarvan geleerd hebben. En wat een prachtige B&B Turning Tides runnen jullie. We hebben zulke leuke dagen gehad. Fantastische gastvrouw en gastheer, ontbijt op en top, kamer lekker ruim met een fantastische douche. Het ontvangst en alle uitleg over de omgeving en wat er te doen was werd met zoveel enthousiasme gebracht en deed ons erg goed. We hebben er dankbaar gebruik van gemaakt. We wensen jullie heel veel geluk en goede gezondheid en maak samen nog veel mooie reizen. Liefs Ruud en Mieke uit Holland.

We initially booked in for two nights but felt so welcomed & comfortable that we extended our stay. Joan & Ian are friendly and warm hosts. Turning Tides is spotless, the breakfast is excellent & cooked by Joan who is a nutritionist so we were in safe hands! The only very minor glitch is that although all rooms have TV there is no DSTV which to me is as good as no TV at all.This is truly one of the nicest B & B’s I have been to in years & I heartily recommend it.
