The guesthouse commands a breathtakingly beautiful view of the Knysna Lagoon stretching all the way to the famous Knysna Heads. The garden and small indigenous forest attract wildlife and an abundance of birds – from the elusive Knysna Loerie to the iridescent sunbirds and humble wagtails. Enjoy their antics while relaxing on a lounger next to the pool, before venturing down the hill to discover and experience all that Knysna and the Garden Route has to offer.

Each of the five individually appointed rooms has unique and beautiful views. The rooms have their own character and have been individually created and named and gorgeously decorated with the ideas and artwork of talented South African artists.

Paradise:

Luxury suite at the top of the three floors with a birds-eye view over the forest and Knysna Lagoon into the Knysna Heads beyond.

Screened from the bedroom by wooden shutters, the spacious bathroom has a separate shower and an elevated, over-sized bath which, too, boasts a spectacular view.

Forest:

A modern and sumptuous room spanning the entire lower floor. The Forest Room and private deck is cocooned by the forest with glimpses of the Knysna Lagoon through the trees.

The sumptuous king size bed (that can also convert to two single beds) allows views out through the large sliding door into the forest and the lagoon beyond. This large open-plan room is spacious but cocooned and includes a bath and separate shower, a reading corner and wall mounted television and a work nook. Connect with the forest and the sound of birdsong from the private deck and relax with a good book in the sun or indoors in your own reading nook.
