"...nestled on a headland offering breathtaking ocean and lagoon views..."

Soaring high above the tranquil town of Knysna, on South Africa’s famed Garden Route, is a headland offering breathtaking ocean and lagoon views. On this clifftop nestles Pezula Private Estate, home to the magnificent Pezula Resort Hotel, which opened its doors in February 2005, giving discerning travellers an exclusive luxury experience.

This 78-suite luxury hotel houses world-class features including a spa and a gym. The spa is designed to reflect the natural surroundings of the estate, Knysna’s lush forests and the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean.

Sporting greats such as Nick Price, Jonas Bjorkman, Roger Federer and Graeme Smith have all bought land on the estate, adding to the exclusive feel of the resort.

Pezula Resort Hotel has been developed with the utmost respect for the environment. Where most developments use a greater majority of land for building purposes, Pezula Private Estate has used only 10 percent. The remaining hectares of ancient forest area have been treated with extreme care, and the forest is being reseeded with indigenous trees.

Hotel Facilities
The very finest fresh local ingredients and organically grown produce are prepared under the supervision of executive chef Geoffrey Murray. Served in the delightful surroundings of Zachary’s restaurant, the globally inspired cuisine is complemented by an impressive 5000 bottle wine cellar.

The Pezula Resort Hotel boasts a tennis academy with qualified instructors. An 18-hole championship golf course, cricket academy, swimming pools and world-class spa and gym complete the sports facilities.

Explore the magnificent scenery on horseback, set off on one of the estate’s many hiking trails, or wander through the impressive botanical gardens. And if that seems like too much activity, just kick back and spend a day on the private beach, enjoying a champagne picnic.

Local Attractions
Pezula and its surroundings offer all that one could wish for a memorable stay. Yet slightly further afield there is even more to explore. The charming town of Knysna, with its craft markets, famous oysters and magnificent lagoon, is certainly worth a visit.
Nature lovers will soak up the beauty of the indigenous forest in the Tsitsikamma National Park and its stunning tree canopy tours.

The town of Wilderness, famous for its lovely blue lakes, also offers magnificent sandy beaches that stretch for miles.
To get there it is well worth taking a scenic trip on the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe, South Africa’s last steam-hauled passenger train, operating between Knysna and George.
