A real and uplifting space, creative comforts and privacy,and easy-going ambiance,real peace and tranquility with a permanent indigenous green belt on the western side of the house and a forest garden behind the house-this offers total privacy to our garden and forest facing rooms,with no neighboring houses in sight.Sunny in winter and cool in summer utilizing natural sea breezes, abundant bird-life and butterflies thrive in our natural garden. Knysna Views support green initiatives,recycling principles and artistic,music and skills development and sponsorship.Attentive,professional and unobtrusive service is our pledge.A Resident Manager and Host lives on the property.
The Host and owners are well experienced in many fields and disciplines and offer excellent advice and guidance on golf,adventure and leisure activities, the cultural,musical and entertainment scene,the history and development of the area,and many spheres of interest,like sailing and hiking and kayaking,to motorbikes and architecture.Owners and Management offers combined 35 years international hospitality experience and a committed desire to exceed guest expectations.
Very safe area,pleasant for neighborhood walking,super quiet and tranquil, no traffic noise from town,no visible houses behind house,,forever green belt next to house on western/northern side. Forest/garden facing standard rooms are warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and still offer great views at a reduced rate. The Guest House overlooks a private school with sport facilities, then the gaze is swept further over a nature reserve and lots of greenery, towards the waterfront,estuary and right out the Knysna Heads.
