Amber Guest Lodge offers luxurious bed and breakfast accommodation overlooking the magnificent Knysna Lagoon on the Garden Route. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. The beautifully appointed and spacious suites are decorated in a classic, yet modern style that complements their airy, light feel. All suites open onto the large pool area and patio. From there you can enjoy wonderful views of the lagoon and the surrounding mountains, while watching the ever-changing colours of a South African sunset. Tucked into the gentle sweep of Knysna's Eastern Head, Amber Guest Lodge is the perfect place whether you prefer excitement and new experiences or simply to rest and recharge.
