Peacefully nestled on a cliff top overlooking Knysna Lagoon, these spacious stand-alone suites are decorated in natural wood and stone architecture. Each unit features a hot tub and a private terrace....

Love the bayview. Either Soak in bathtub or taking shower, there is a backdrop of the scenic bayview. The manager Jon is very very accommodating, polite and friendly.

    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.
