Welcome to the Lake Brenton Residents Association
The Lake Brenton Residents Association was formed by a group of volunteers who wanted to make a difference in keeping Lake Brenton a safe and happy place for all its residents.
What Lake Brenton Offers
Lake Brenton, or as we like to call it “Knysna’s Best Kept Secret” is situated on the water’s edge towards the West Head of the Knysna Lagoon. Our tranquil and peaceful little village boasts a wide array of wildlife and natural fauna and flora. From the beautiful bush buck and bush pigs that roam freely, the incredible variety raptors and other birdlife, the famous Knysna Turaco, and the incredible fynbos that covers the land, all this beauty is on our doorsteps for us to enjoy.
At the water’s edge on the lagoon you will find boats, paddlers, fishermen and people who enjoy the great outdoors. We can truly say we are blessed to live in and be a part of such a diverse and unique environment, which we can call ‘home’.
About Lake Brenton Residents Association
The Lake Brenton Residents Association (LBRA) was formed by a group of volunteers who wanted to make a difference in keeping Lake Brenton a safe and happy place for all its residents.
We are a non-profit organisation that makes use of donations and a small annual fee which we utilise for projects as agreed to by the LBRA. These projects focus on areas which we believe benefit the community and its residents. We are always open to new ideas and happy to engage with the people of Lake Brenton. All information on budgets and projects is kept transparent and available for all residents’ perusal.
Lake Brenton consists of 6 areas: Lake Brenton Village; Brenton Park; The Woods; Brentonwood; Lake Brenton Estate and Ridgewood.
