Poised on a towering cliff top above the town of Knysna, Pezula (a Shona word meaning 'up there with the Gods'), enjoys sweeping views over the Indian Ocean and the Knysna Lagoon. One of its most striking features is the pervading silence... enveloped by indigenous forest and rare Cape coastal fynbos, this environmentally sensitive corner of the Garden Route is almost primordial – and the surrounding landscape is simply mesmerising! Creating a design which would discreetly blend into this intoxicating setting was never going to be easy, but Pezula’s bold reception lodge, stylish suites clad in stone and dark slate, theatrical public areas, double-volume halls and grandiose paintings, all combine magnificently to provide, not only a haven of privacy – but also one of absolute luxury. Accommodation is offered in 76 luxurious suites – housed in villas of four – and two Presidential Suites. No expense has been spared with the contemporary furnishings and each of these sleek ‘new Africa’ hideaways boasts a log fireplace and an indulgent marble bathroom. Golfers can tee off at the hotel’s acclaimed 18-hole championship golf course and for the energetic, there are numerous options available including tennis, cricket, archery, horse riding, walking trails and canoeing. Pezula’s award-winning Spa boasts a 12 metre heated pool, state-of-the-art gym, sauna, steam room, nail bar, hair salon, juice bar and no less than nine therapy rooms. Guests also have access to the beautiful sheltered beach at nearby Noetzie where dolphins often play in the surf.
