Stones n Roses is a true landmark property of Knysna.
It is literally a Stone s throw from the lagoon as well as the CBD, with unique panoramic views of the lagoon from the Knysna Heads in the east, to Belvidere in the west.
Although it is one of the oldest residential properties, a new house was built and completed in 1994 to suit the requirements of a guesthouse.
The house is conveniently situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, thus ensuring ample parking for guests and safe, unrestricted access to the property.
With its high visibility from the N2 leading into Knysna, business rights is an additional and realistic option, since many neighboring properties are already utilized as guesthouses and restaurants.
It was operated as a B&B/Self-catering establishment for 10 years. It consists of 4 units, each with its own separate entrance as well as en suite bathrooms. Two of these units are self contained flats with kitchens and en suite bathrooms, as well as verandahs which are enclosed with safety glass to ensure spectacular views over the lagoon.
The main house has an entrance hall which leads to a large living room with a Jetmaster fireplace, as well as a family room with a Godin anthracite heater, a Blackwood bar and guest toilet.
The rest of the large open plan ground floor, consists of a lounge, dining room and kitchen. The lounge has a sliding door opening onto a large patio with barbeque facilities and unrestricted views of the lagoon and the Knysna Heads. The kitchen, pantry and laundry is equipped with Miele appliances.
The first floor of the house has a large studio with lots of light flooding in through roof windows. The master bedroom is very spacious with a large roof window, walk in closet and lounge area. There are also sliding doors opening onto a private balcony with fantastic views over the lagoon and Heads. There are two separate en suite bathrooms, one with a bath and toilet, the other with shower and toilet.
The studio also provide additional access, when required, to one of the B&B units which could be used as part of the main house or as additional guest rooms. These rooms have two en suite bathrooms, a small living area with kitchenette and a separate access via a wooden staircase.
