Some suites offer a view of the Knysna lagoon. This colonial style building and grounds are in a beautiful scenic setting. Comfortable, clean, and welcoming.

The UrbanGirl cafe/restaurant is superb and is 10 minutes drive away. The Muse cocktail bar is 10 mins walk away and has a lovely garden to enjoy good priced food and drinks.
