Knysna Country House

The Knysna Country House is a stylish yet comfortable 4 Star accommodation located in the peaceful and leafy suburb of Hunters Home in Knysna, along the splendid Garden Route. It is situated less than two minutes away from the Knysna Golf Course and not even 5 minutes from the Pezula Championship Golf Course, while the Jack Nicklaus' signature course of Simola is a mere 20-minute drive away.

The guesthouse offers bed & breakfast accommodation with a variety of rooms to choose from. The options range from entry-level Standard Rooms to more spacious and luxurious Luxury Rooms, as well as a thatched Luxury Garden Cottage for honeymooners and guests seeking privacy, and a Family Unit for families or groups of friends traveling together.

The lush garden is home to a variety of birds, including the funky-looking African Hoopoe, the colorful indigenous Knysna Loerie, the elegant Southern Double-Collared Sunbird, and the black and white spotted Helmeted Guinea Fowl, which inspired the guesthouse's logo. The large swimming pool features an inviting image of the Knysna seahorse underneath the sparkling blue waters, accompanied by comfortable sun loungers, complimentary bath towels, and large umbrellas providing shade.

The Norwegian owners, Anita and Jarle Gjerde, have opened their home to be run as a guesthouse by Erik Ekkelkamp and Ypie Kingma, who are originally from the Netherlands but have made South Africa their home since 1999. They have been in the hospitality industry and run an exclusive tour company, offering to share the secrets of Knysna and its surrounding areas with guests.

After a long day of traveling, playing golf, or sightseeing, guests can imagine returning to take a dip in the pool or enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony overlooking Knysna town and the Lagoon as the African sun sets behind the majestic Outeniqua Mountains, realizing they have truly found their piece of paradise.
