In order to ensure the best possible arrival to our home we kindly request a 24 hour notice period when booking. The house is located on the world renowned Knysna heads in a secure, environmentally friendly estate with panoramic views of the championship golf course and Indian ocean. The house is equipped with modern amenities and boasts spectacular views from every room. The open plan living area includes a modern kitchen, lounge (with high definition satellite TV) and dining room with high quality appliances to make self catering a pleasure. The luxury master bedroom features an en suite bathroom with 180 degree ocean views from the bath. The outside entertainment area includes a fully equipped barbecue with ocean views over the swimming pool and a breakfast 'sundeck' to begin your day outdoors. Overlooking the 17th hole of the Pezula Championship Golf Course the house is a few minutes walk from the clubhouse and world famous Pezula Hotel and Spa.
We are a South African family who are currently living abroad. We travel back home to South Africa as often as we can and love spending time in our 'piece of paradise' in Knysna.
Located on the secure Pezula Golf Course within walking distance of the Pezula Golf Club. A short drive to the other side of the course gives you access to an additional swimming pool, kids play area and tennis courts.
