Imposing vistas from Falcons View Manor

The expansive terrace at Falcons View Manor provides a panoramic view of the town of Knysna, its lagoon, islands, and the renowned Knysna Heads.  This Victorian-style residence, constructed in 1894, has old-world elegance and possesses a history intimately connected to the town and one of its oldest families.  This exquisite country house retreat is an ideal accommodation for guests touring the Garden Route.

The Garden Route of South Africa exemplifies a juxtaposition of differences.  The steep valleys and mountains are densely covered with verdant Afromontane Forest, while the beaches stretch for miles, intermittently interrupted by the emergence of river mouths.  Visitors may partake in nature trails within the Knysna Forest, excursions to the elephant sanctuary, and the Plettenberg Bay Private Game Reserve, or dine at the Wild Oats Community Farmers’ Market located near Sedgefield.

Guests may reside in the Manor Room, Manor Superior Room, Garden Superior Room, or Garden Suite at Falcons View, with the latter two featuring private terraces.  Each room features an en-suite bathroom, a king-size bed, and views of either the forest or the garden.  Partake in afternoon tea in the Tea Garden or on the verandah, and dine at the manor’s restaurant.a
