Garden Route Accommodation
Between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, the famous Garden Route along the N2 offers a picturesque playground with year-round activities suitable for every holidaymaker. It’s one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in South Africa consisting of rocky coasts, rich forests, colourful wildflowers and long sandy beaches.
A range of Garden Route accommodation can be found along this route which is favoured by nature lovers and leisure seekers; where beautiful landscapes, exciting travel destinations and luxurious relaxation is around every corner.
Explore the beauty of Knysna
Knysna is a popular destination on the Garden Route, sheltering South Africa’s largest indigenous forest, an oyster hatchery, and the Knysna lagoon.
The Knysna Hollow Country Estate is situated near the Knysna lagoon with a myriad of attractions and activities on its doorstep where Garden Route accommodation takes the form of spacious thatched garden rooms and chalets.
Watch as the sea washes into the lagoon or bask in the peace and quiet of this secluded country estate which includes three swimming pools, two restaurants serving superb cuisine, a bar and even a curio shop.
For a unique experience, Garden Route accommodation can also be found in a chic conversion of a turbine restoration site which stands on Knysna’s picturesque Thesen Islands. The Turbine Hotel and Spa provides sunset lagoon cruises on a motorized pontoon, accessorised bedrooms, spa, café and tapas bar.
