Luxury self-catering log chalets

Situated on the water's edge of the Knysna Lagoon, the multi-award-winning Knysna River Club is a private enclave of charming, luxury self-catering log chalets in the heart of South Africa's Garden Route coast.

Surrounded by shady trees and well-tended gardens, the resort offers security, privacy and comfort for guests looking to unwind, and is the ideal venue from which to explore the quaint lagoon-side town of Knysna. Conveniently located in close proximity to the sights and attractions of the area, the resort is just 1,5 kms from the Knysna Waterfront with its many restaurants, cafés and specialist shops, and Woodmill Lane Shopping Centre with its colourful boutiques, eateries and arts and crafts galleries.

Whether you choose a Garden Chalet or Lagoon facing chalet, you will find all their chalets airy, spacious and comfortably appointed. Characterised by warm wooden interiors, high ceilings and large windows to maximise the views, each has an open plan living area with a kitchen, dining counter with bar stools, and lounge.

Kitchens are fully equipped for a self-catering holiday and the lounge has a sleeper couch, two armchairs and a television with DStv (six channels).

The living area leads out onto a shady deck with tables and chairs for alfresco dining, and a charcoal Weber® kettle grill for barbeques. Chalets are serviced daily so that guests can enjoy their holidays to the full. All linen is provided, except for swimming towels.
