Knysna Hollow Country Estate

Knysna Hollow Country Estate is set on a secluded 3-hectare Country Estate just 5 minutes from the centre of Knysna, a quaint seaside town on the Garden Route.

The Estate re-opened in October 2018 after the devastating wildfires and is a brand-new contemporary country retreat. Offering stylish accommodation with warm personal service and authentic dining in their casual restaurant - The Social Eatery.

The modern Cape Country Manor House is the focal point of the Estate. And houses all the public areas – restaurant, bar, reception, sun deck and internet library. The restaurant serves authentic, local food throughout the day. And is the ideal spot to enjoy an ice-cold Craft Beer on tap or a Gin & Tonic. The wine list offers a range of unique South African wines from independent estates. And the small wine cellar provides the option of choosing a premium, aged wine to enjoy on that special occasion.

Knysna Hollow accommodates guests in 44 spacious, contemporary Garden Suites. All elegantly decorated in subtle hues of the surrounding forests and ocean. These modern, air-conditioned rooms each feature satellite television, coffee stations, king-size beds and private patios overlooking the gardens with two sparkling swimming pools. All rooms offer large en-suite bathrooms with double ‘His & Her’ vanities.

Families are welcome!

Four adjoining rooms offer inter-leading passageways and can be converted into two double-room Family Suites. Another 8 rooms offer sleeper couch sofas which can be converted into beds for up to two children under 12 years sharing with their parents.

Things to do

Situated in the middle of the Garden Route National Park, Knysna is the ideal base from which to explore the attractions of the region. The history of Mossel Bay, the arid, semi-desert of Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo and the coastal towns of Wilderness, Sedgefield and Plettenberg Bay are all within an hour’s drive, as is Tsitsikamma National Park which is renowned for the Storm’s River Mouth and some of the country’s best hiking trails.
