Falcons View Manor

Falcons View Manor is a 5-star luxury boutique hotel situated in Knysna, Western Cape, South Africa. Positioned atop a hill less than 1km from the town center, the property offers spectacular views of Knysna, its famous lagoon, and the Knysna Heads.

This heritage building, formerly known as Hill House, has strong historical connections to the Thesen family, who were instrumental in developing Knysna's timber industry. Built around 1899, the Cape Victorian structure features exquisite architectural details, indigenous yellowwood, and original fireplaces throughout its elegant spaces.

The property offers various accommodation options, including Manor Rooms in the main house and Garden Superior Rooms in the Coach House. The Manor Rooms, located upstairs, range from 26 to 35 square meters and feature either garden, forest, or lagoon views. The Coach House accommodations include Garden Superior Rooms with vaulted ceilings and private terraces, and an exclusive 80-square-meter Garden Suite with a separate lounge area and private deck.

Facilities include two lounges with lagoon views: a formal library and the bright Loerie Lounge. Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi, a 20-meter swimming pool, well-manicured gardens, and a tea garden. Additional amenities include a restaurant, wine cellar, bar, and safe off-street parking. The property welcomes children aged 10 and older.

The hotel's managers assist guests in planning local activities, ensuring visitors can fully experience Knysna and its surroundings. While maintaining its historical charm, the rooms have been refurbished to meet contemporary standards of comfort and luxury.
