Paradise sets the scene for romantic indulgence.

Sunbird

This large open plan room is spacious but cocooned and includes a bath and separate shower, a reading corner and wall mounted television and a work nook.

Connect with the forest and the sound of birdsong from the private deck and relax with a good book in the sun or indoors in your own reading nook.

Knysna Heights Villa takes full advantage of this panoramic vista with wrap-around glass walls and doors leading out onto open and covered decks suspended above an indigenous forest.

The Villa’s proximity to town makes it very convenient. Its elevated position on the edge of the ridge ensures privacy and tranquility.

Share the experience with family and friends… 

The Villa has three spacious bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom. All are fitted with king-size beds but there is the option of single bed conversion if required.

The elegant upper level bedroom has a reading corner and a private balcony overlooking the forest and lagoon. The two beautifully appointed bedrooms on the lower level are set within the canopy of the forest with large windows offering close-up views of trees and birdlife.

Living is easy…

Accentuating the magnificent view, the living areas on the middle floor are all inter-connected in an open plan layout to create a relaxed, holiday atmosphere.

The centrally positioned, ultra modern kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-range appliances including electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and dishwasher. On arrival the fridge is stocked with complimentary wine, beer and soft dinks.

The dining area, with an eight-seater table, extends into a spacious lounge leading out through double glass doors onto one of the large decks surrounding the villa. A second lounge provides yet another recreational space in which you can relax on plush couches while watching a DVD or satellite TV on a large plasma screen. A fully integrated music system is connected throughout the villa.

Stylishly furnished and decorated, the villa has a warm, welcoming feeling.  Enjoy!

The personal touch…

Knysna Heights Villa is hosted by Chris, Mark and Samantha (of Kanonkop House) and enjoys the same high standards and exceptional personal service that has made the exclusive 5-star guest house a sought-after destination.

The Villa is fully serviced and a full breakfast is prepared and served each morning where advice can be offered on ‘where to go’ and ‘ what to do’ to make your stay truly memorable.

We will also make any necessary arrangements – whether it’s booking a golf game, organising a picnic lunch, embarking on a sunset cruise or making a restaurant reservation. Don’t hesitate to ask!

The villa is also available on a self-catering basis for those who prefer to ‘do their own thing’.

 Optional extras…

Mark is a qualified and experienced skipper, and can arrange waterskiing and wake-boarding as well as tuition if required. Lagoon fishing is also available aboard our fully equipped motor boat. If you prefer something more relaxing, take a sunset cruise aboard our luxury speed boat and watch the lagoon transform into shimmering molten liquid under an orange sky. Spellbinding!

Guests are also welcome to make use of our double and single canoes to explore the waterways or, for those who are fit and energetic, we have two mountain bikes and will gladly transport you to a forest reserve and collect you afterwards. We’ll even pack you a picnic lunch!
