Providing an ideal getaway for couples, small families or friends traveling together, La Maison Verte oozes character and charm. This pretty eco-friendly cottage is situated in the quiet, safe suburb of Rexford and is just minutes from the lagoon, Knysna Heads, town centre and two golf courses.

Recently refurbished to a high standard, the accommodation is spacious yet cozy with polished wood floors throughout, luxurious bathrooms and distinctive French touches.

The entrance hall leads to an attractive open plan kitchen/diner and comfortable lounge area. The well-equipped kitchen includes a gas hob, electric oven, large fridge/freezer, a host of small appliances, ample storage space and dining table.

In addition to a sofa, armchairs, coffee table and wood burning stove, the lounge features a 32” flat-screen TV (with DSTV channels), DVD player and patio doors leading to a stylishly furnished covered deck and braai – perfect for outdoor dining and relaxation.

The first bedroom is located on the ground floor with patio doors opening on to the deck. In addition to a king bed (or twin beds if preferred), there’s a spacious ensuite shower room and toilet, hanging space, dressing table and ceiling fan. A washing machine is also located in the bathroom.

Stairs from the entrance hall lead to the stunning master bedroom. Occupying the whole of the first floor, it features a king/twin bedroom, additional sofa bed, large walk-in wardrobe, dressing table and electric heaters. Double doors lead out to a private deck with sweeping views over the Knysna lagoon, golf course, town and Outeniqua Mountains beyond.

There’s a good-size safe lawned garden to the rear of the cottage and parking for two vehicles in the paved driveway at the front.
