Falcons View Manor, hotel in Knysna

Falcons View Manor is situated on a hill overlooking Knysna Lagoon, 700 metres from the town centre. It features an outdoor pool, a library and free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel.

An outstanding property with amazing views and grounds, complimented by well organised staff who look after guests with seamless efficiency in a cosy & comfortable property. We met several guests who have stayed at FVM repeatedly and now we absolutely know why. Breakfast is lovely and we were recommended to try the restaurant for dinner - it is brilliant and we ate twice during our 3 night stay. If we return to the Knysna area in future when on the garden route, we will desperately want to stay at FVM.
