Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, high above the N2 yet conveniently close to the town centre and the Waterfront, Knysna’s tourist mecca, Guadeloupe Guesthouse boasts four tastefully furnished self-catering apartments, each with its own unique charm, situated above an expansive owner’s quarters/entertainment space. This establishment promises a haven of comfort for discerning travellers.
Upstairs: Four self-catering apartments
One single-bed simplex and three double-volume duplexes with loft bedrooms – two with two bedrooms and one with three bedrooms – are furnished with high-quality furniture, including comfortable beds and seating, dining tables, and bedroom furnishings to ensure guests have a relaxed stay.
Each apartment has a well-equipped kitchen with essential appliances such as a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. Additionally, they provide cookware, utensils, dishes, and glassware, allowing guests to prepare their meals with ease.
They also offer spacious living areas where guests can relax and unwind after a day of exploring the delights of Knysna, opening onto spacious, seatable balconies where one can enjoy the views and the afternoon sunsets – and the essential glass of wine, of course.
The staircase to the apartments is accessed separately from the downstairs quarters, giving privacy to the owner or manager living on the property.
Downstairs communal area / owner’s quarters
An expansive wooden-floored deck, half open-air with built-in wooden seating for basking in the sun and half enclosed for fine dining, both with incredible views over the Knysna Estuary (locally known fondly as the Lagoon).
The enclosed dining verandah comfortably seats 20 guests, with a modern closed-combustion fireplace and a stainless steel chimney that provides warmth for a cosy experience.
The substantial kitchen is fully equipped to master-chef cooking specifications, providing gourmet restaurant experiences that put the fun back into cooking. Equipped with two gas stoves (five-plate and six-plate) with an extractor hood, a large baking oven, an island prepping table, a double sink and prep bowl, and a walk-in fridge.
A large multipurpose space with another closed-combustion fireplace could serve as an owner’s/manager’s accommodation with an en-suite bathroom or, alternatively, a games room, quiet lounge, library, entertainment centre... the possibilities are boundless.
The automated entrance gate leads to the automated double garage, with direct access into the kitchen and an inside walled parking area to complete the perfect picture.
