Knysna Central, Knysna

If location is high on your list, this apartment is worth a look.

Set in the heart of Knysna Central, this well-presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment offers an unusually good mix of convenience and greenery. It borders the Pledge Nature Reserve, meaning you can step out for a walk amongst the trees and fynbos without having to get in the car. Pledge is one of those rare pockets of nature tucked right into the middle of town, and having it essentially on your doorstep is a real bonus.

At the same time, Milkwood Square is just a stone’s throw away, offering convenient access to groceries, everyday amenities and restaurants.

Inside, the apartment is comfortable and easy to live in, with an open-plan kitchen and living area opening onto a generous covered patio. The patio gives you that extra bit of living space for morning coffee, an afternoon braai or having friends over. Both bedrooms are well-sized and there are two bathrooms, making the layout equally practical for permanent living or hosting guests.

The apartment is being sold fully furnished, including the furniture and appliances, so there is very little to do other than move in, let it out or make it your own. The complex is also pet-friendly and offers ample parking.

And then there's the investment potential.

With Knysna Central, the mall, the reserve and surrounding amenities all within easy reach, this is a property that lends itself well to short-term holiday letting or Airbnb. It could equally work as a lock-up-and-go, a first home, a permanent residence or a comfortable base in Knysna for those wanting to be close to everything.

For someone looking for an apartment that gives you the convenience of town without feeling like you're surrounded by town, this one strikes a pretty nice balance.
