Guests at the villa can make the most of yoga classes offered in-house. Guests at Hide Away Cabin will be able to enjoy activities in and around Knysna, like cycling and hiking. The villa has a barbecue, outdoor fireplace and sun terrace.

The place was absolutely breathtaking! It was even better than the pictures. Everything met our expectations and more. The jacuzzi was fantastic and easy to control. The cabin was stunning. And the shower is definitely my favourite. My partner and I explored the surrounding farms and forests and even met some of the cows. Lize is an amazing host. We will definitely be coming back soon. Totally recommend this place to anyone looking for an escape with peace, beautiful scenery and fresh air.

Guests can benefit from a balcony and an outdoor fireplace. The homestay has a picnic area and a hot tub.

Everything! From the moment we arrived immediate attention from a very helpful member of staff who belped us with our luggage to the upper level of the Cabin and gave us a very comprehensive run down on its features which included the fullest TV an internet package with excellent Wifi reception. The utter piece de resistance is the views from both levels of the property especially the upper level with its wrap around views out across the lagoon to the Knysna Heads. I have stayed in many properties in Knysna this past 30 years but none with such stunning views or anywhere near so comprehensively equipped. Tasha and Bill could not have been more welcoming and it was a joy just as we were leaving to see Bill standing with his hand out with bits of Gouda cheese enticing birds to hover and pinch them before flying off! Coming back to SA in February and will certainly spend more time at the Knysna Lodge. Wouldn't dream of ever staying anywhere else. Remarkably comprehensive guidance provided by Tasha before our arrival and always asking during the stay if we lacked anything. Outstanding value for money.

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    Our favourite place we stayed in South Africa! Beautiful chalet with views of Knysna, very spacious and had all the amenities we needed. Attention to detail was fantastic, with plenty of toiletries, linen, battery lamps for loadshedding, great Wi-Fi that never cut out. Felt very private and secure and the hosts were absolutely wonderful and had great recommendations for our stay. Check in and communication was great. Quick drive into town centre and parking was secure and spacious. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

    Staff were friendly and accommodating. Didn't request a daily service, but we had clean fluffy towels each day, our beds were remade, dishes packed away etc. Chalets were absolutely spotless, fully equipped kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. Lots of activities on-site and the view of the lagoon and surrounding cabins were beautiful
