Carpe Diem House

The historic house is over 150 years old. It is one of the original old Knysna homes. We live in the house and we have split it into two halves with the flatlet at the front with its own entrance and we live at the back with our own entrance. There is an interleading door between the two living areas. We offer a character filled one bedroom flat/apartment with large private lounge and separate additional toilet room with wash basin and large built in cupboards. The lounge has wooden floors and high ceilings with roof fan. It is a lovely room for entertaining or relaxing. There is a double sleeper couch in the lounge offering a bed for up to two additional persons. There is a small 2-plate stove and oven, kettle and toaster with a kitchen basin area and a dining table. All self-catering facilities are provided. The bedroom has an extra length Queen sized bed, with Sealy mattress, and en-suite bathroom (shower only) with toilet and washbasin. It also has a built-in cupboard and a roof mounted fan. The apartment has excellent security and an enclosed veranda in one of the oldest areas in Knysna. It is up the road from the Knysna's original Anglican Church, Catholic Church, and an evangelical church. It is walking distance to the Methodist and NG churches. The Gym at the Royal Hotel, down the street, offers daily gym memberships and has a heated pool. The house is walking distance to town, shopping malls, and restaurants. It is central to all the attractions of Knysna and surrounds. There is off-street parking for cars and or trailers behind locked gates.
