Headlands House Guest Lodge, hotel in Knysna

Situated on a cliff, this lodge features an outdoor pool with panoramic views of the Knysna Lagoon and the Indian Ocean. It offers free Wi-Fi and has spacious guestrooms with furnished balconies.

Awe....some view! It really was something to behold! One of the most breathtaking views we've ever had. We could actually enjoy the view, although being up quite high up, from the very comfortable bed.

Candlewood Lodge, hotel in Knysna

Candlewood Lodge is a 5-star bed and breakfast located only minutes away from the centre of town and boasts spectacular views over the Knysna Heads and Knysna Lagoon.

Impeccable accomodation with amazing and knowledgeable hosts Urs and Faith. Faith’s hospitality was next level. The breakfast spread was out of this world and the hot breakfast was absolutely delicious. Great location and exceptionally clean. We have stayed in many places over the years but Candlewood Lodge was the best place we have stayed at. We had dinner at the restaurant on the premises and it was fine dining at its best. The meet and greet with the other guests was a great way of learning about other cultures and countries. Cannot recommend this place enough. If you are in Knysna please do yourself a huge favour and stay here you will not regret it.

    It was so quite and peaceful. Loved how private the lodges are. Our cars parked in the shade😊 The swimming pool was clean and warmer in the evening, we enjoyed swimming at night. Absolutely loved the lights in case of Loadshedding. That was very thoughtful.

    The view was stunning. The lodge was really cosy and nice. The quietness around the lodges was great, getting away from the hustle and bustle from a noisy Cape Town.
