    Well this is the real deal. Fully authentic Castle 🏰 with thick walls, ivy and a four poster bed fit for a king. The views and the waves crashing over the rocks are sensational and we saw whales as it was the right time of the year. Access to the...

Company information

Buccara is Swahili for “secret place”. For more than a decade the company has been hosting unique holiday experiences for a select circle of guests at private places at exceptional locations around the globe. Luxuriously appointed and created with great attention to detail, Buccara’s villas, penthouses, castles, and private yachts are designed for families and groups to enjoy special moments together, far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Buccara is all about such moments and the team has perfected the art of casual luxury. We like meeting guests to hear about their travels and also like to make them feel welcome in the villas. Will always be on standby if need be.

Property information

The property is a large stone built structure built on a rock on the edge of the beach at Noetzie, Knysna. It has been built to resemble a medieval castle and is full of comfy, well-furnished rooms with beautiful views over the rocks and sea from its many shaped windows. The main entrance opens into a large lounge / TV relaxing area with open fire. The accommodation comprises 3 rooms accessed from this space and 3 more via steps built against the outside walls of the castle.

Neighbourhood information

Outside the castle boasts gardens to the front and sides and extensive fynbos and rock. There are no direct “neighbours” and the castle is very private and not looked over. The views to the front are the beach and waves crashing against the rocky outcrops. There are various stone steps leading down from the castle and gardens directly onto the beach – which is pebble directly below the castle rapidly becoming golden sand. There is a braai area [charcoal/wood] to the West on the sea-side and a sheltered eating area complete with table and benches. There are two sun loungers and two sun seats all with cushions. The castle sits within the Noetzie Conservancy established in 1999. What makes Noetzie so special? The castles of course – but mostly “the golden beach surrounded by forested hills, the dark waters of the lagoon, the rugged, ochre rocks and the thundering breakers that roll in row upon row”.
