Description

Brenton-on-sea is a friendly and safe neighbourhood, where you will frequently encounter free-roaming bushbuck (deer).

Although the apartment doesn't have sea views, there are many viewpoints, including the well-maintained Fisherman's Walk, a pathway which extends along the cliff top and which can be accessed via a pathway behind the property. Sitting on the bench placed for your convenience, this pathway offers panoramic views of the ocean.

Fisherman's walk at the Eastern end has direct access to a secluded beach, via steep stairs. This is a rather strenuous climb, especially the climb back up, which should not be attempted unless you are fairly fit. Should you elect to do the walk, the rewards are definitely worth the effort.

Brenton beach is a short walk or drive from the apartment. The beach stretches all the way to Buffalo Bay, some 5 km away, a stimulating, easy walk, especially at low tide when the expanse of beach is wide and the sand harder.

Once you reach Buffalo Bay beach, you can enjoy a light meal or pizza and a refreshing drink whilst watching the surfers, paddlers and swimmers frolicking in the safe surf and where you may be lucky to spot whales in season or schools of dolphins.

Brenton Bushbuck Lookout offers a ground-floor apartment below the owner’s main house in the beautiful Brenton-on-sea. This quiet bay is situated on the opposite side of Knysna’s Western Head, and is surrounded by the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

This 2-bedroom apartment is able to accommodate 4 people. The main bedroom has a king-size bed, bath and a separate en-suite bathroom fitted with shower, wash basin and toilet. The second room has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, wash basin and toilet.

There is a sleeper in the open plan living room. There is also an extra-length travellers' baby crib available for infants.

The kitchen is well-equipped and features a stove, oven, air fryer, fridge/freezer, kettle, Expresto coffee machine, toaster and microwave, and an automatic washing machine. The dining area has seating for 6 people, while the lounge/dining room has a comfy couch and a sleeper couch, a flatscreen Tv with full premium package Dstv channels. Free Wi-fi is also available.

The patio overlooking the garden leads off the lounge through double French doors and has quality furniture and a Weber charcoal-burning kettle barbeque, where guests can entertain and enjoy the sunset.

Cellphone reception inside the apartment is very limited, but Wi-fi is good, so data-based communication calls are recommended. Cellphone reception outside the apartment, in the garden, is, however, good.

The property is home to 2 indoor-outdoor adult cats and a talkative African Grey parrot. The cats generally avoid visitors. The African Grey lives upstairs on the owners' deck and can be very entertaining from early morning.

Brenton Bushbuck Lookout is within walking distance of two restaurants, two small convenience stores and a delicatessen.

The Brenton Haven Hotel is situated right on the beach, affording glorious views of the ocean, over to Buffalo Bay, another blue flag beach. Dolphins and whales can frequently be observed frolicking in the waves close to the shore. You can enjoy cocktails, fine wines and whisky on the protected enclosed deck and a-la-carte meals. The hotel has a small gym and a swimming pool which offers visitors short term or daily memberships

Destination Knysna.
Knysna has one of the most temperate climates in Southern Africa; summers rarely go beyond 30 degrees Celsius and winters seldom below 12 degrees Celsius. This pleasant range of temperatures allows for sporting and outdoor adventure activities to continue year round. Bring an umbrella if you come to Knysna from October to December as that’s the wettest time of year. The Local Municipality of Knysna includes both sea-side and forest suburbs, from Buffalo Bay to Gouna and Sedgefield to Noetzie, each with a unique setting and a memorable experience to offer. Knysna vows to provide quality services, excellent dining options, and the resources to use the landscape to its full potential. Whatever the season, come and stay in this perfect all-year-round destination.

Things To To
Amidst indigenous forests and expansive lagoon views is the quaint and discreet town of Knysna. Thousands of people from the interior of South Africa flock to Knysna for a unique holiday away from their busy commercial lives; whether to sunbathe on the white sands of Buffalo Bay or to race vintage cars up to the prestigious Simola Golf and Country Estate, Knysna has no end to its variety.

Major Attractions

Absolutely not to be missed is the viewpoint at the Heads. The Heads of Knysna are a geographic marvel. From the viewpoint you may be lucky enough to spot a southern right whale – this gigantic creature finds both food and refuge just after the mating season when her calf is born. A set of binoculars may help you to spot them. From the northern side of the viewpoint, you will see Featherbed Nature Reserve, Leisure Isle and the expansive Knysna Lagoon.

The iconic John Benn is ideal way to enjoy a perfect sunset upon the Knysna lagoon. The double-decker floating restaurant is made of wood and has that classic and old-worldly feel about it. Trips to the Heads are made available daily and special orders for oysters and sparkling wine can be arranged.
