Diane let us feel welcome from beginning till we left. We had a lovely walk around Leisure Island. So safe and quiet. Diane went out of her way to organize and prepare a delicious dinner which we enjoyed in the beautiful living area, all by ourselves. The breakfast was the most delicious we have had in years! Anyone who wants to be spoilt and feel special, stay at One on Bollard!

Stylish, cosy B&B nestled amongst the most beautiful trees on Leisure Island, Knysna. Walking distance to the beach and close to many attractions of the area i.e Lagoon boat trips, Forest Guided Hikes and Scootour Adventures, Wine Tasting to mention but a few. On arrival we were welcomed by Owners "Rob & Diane". All Dean and I can say is "WOW" !!!!!! We were taken to the "Mojo Room" with private entrance and garden. Rooms are immaculate and tastefully decorated. Guests can make use of the honesty bar and lounge area with fireplace leading out to a large deck with pool. Then when you slip off your shoes and retire for the night there is nothing better than nestling between the most softest sheets and bed "oh my goodness" so comfortable - one never wants to leave the room. But then you definitely do not want to miss the scrumptious breakfast. Diane,s cup of coffee is a must and she offers a beautifully displayed selection of different cereals, juices, home made muesli, jams, muffins etc. Then there is Robs homemade Baked Yogurt with assorted berries...Ladies this goes "straight to the hips" but so yummy and just when you think this is it...Robs arrives with his breakfast speciality of the day with Diane right by his side to make sure everything is in order. "You ain't seen nothing yet" untill you have stayed here. Nothing is too much for Hosts Rob & Diane...they exceeded our expectations!!!…

Diane and Rob’s place is just beautiful. I booked a surprise getaway there for my husband’s birthday. We stayed in the Mojo room which has it’s own private garden entrance. The room was super comfortable with a luxurious onsuite bath & shower with heated towel rails. It’s a 30 second walk to the beach. They have vintage bicycles that you can use for free. We cycled around the beach every single day and even at night. The room included beach towels and a cooler bag. We had a lovely picnic on the beach. The breakfasts are just to die for! Each morning was something different and exciting. We wish we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be back every year! Thank you Diane & Rob. We give you 5 stars!

Our stay was fantastic! One on Ballard is modern, tranquil and the perfect dream accommodation (and the breakfasts are to die for!). Our Rooms were beyond what we could have imagined, the private gardens were just as beautiful and relaxing. Most definitely will be staying again!

We love visiting Knysna and have stayed at various accomodations on leisure isle. This has been the best experience. We were made to feel welcomed even before we arrived, friendly text messages wishing us a safe journey to 1 ON BOLLARD from Diane. Rob met us on arrival and checked us into the gizmo suite. It is a spacious lovely bright accomodation with contemporary furnishings and importantly an extremely comfy bed. En suite is a Large bathroom, offering a double shower, bath tub, double vanities and loo. Both the bathroom and bedroom have patio doors which lead onto a very private garden equipped with table chairs and sun umbrella and sun loungers. A garden gate conveniently leads to a private entrance and to your parked vehicle. No detail has been overlooked to ensure a comfortable stay. The general guest space is beautifully decorated , they offers a honesty bar .and a breakfast buffet. The communal space leads onto a pool deck with tables set up for those guest that chose to eat alfresco. The breakfasts are an inspiration and Rob clearly has a passion for creativity, everything is homemade, jams, bread,muffins butter,yogurt, muesli etc etc, Cooked breakfast are made to orderby Rob who offers the option of standard English or one of his amazing creations. Diane is a absolute delight, and nothing was too much for them, they are perfect hosts. My husband celebrated his birthday during our stay and to his amazement a birthday card and gifts were waiting at our breakfast table along with champagne and orage juice. No effort was spared to make us feel at home throughout our stay. The guest house is well located and offers the use of bicycles and canoes for use on the lagoon.. I on Bollard is a perfect option for a vacation stay with wonderful hosts, on aptly named beautiful leisure isle.…
