Along the Garden Route lies luxury awaiting

Pezula has a vast arrange of luxury facilities on Knysna's stunning coastline. These include a championship golf course, an award-winning spa and gym, a restaurant renowned for its quality organic cuisine, a wide range of sport and leisure facilities, and sandy beaches - all situated on 1,000 hectares of nature reserve spanning Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa only opened its doors in 2005, but the resort has already won many internationally recognized awards, among which: ‘Best Spa in South Africa'

All of Pezula's 78 hotel rooms enjoy breathtaking views of the golf course, the Knysna Lagoon or the Indian Ocean.

Upon arrival at your hotel room, expect to find the logs in your fireplace conveniently pre-stacked and a pair of comfy slippers waiting to envelop your weary feet. The room is fitted with handy features like a ‘do not disturb' button that mutes your telephone and doorbell and light resisting curtains that make for peaceful afternoon naps. The luxurious grand bathroom with under-floor heating and oval shaped bath, big enough for two, was designed for pure pampering pleasure.

Pezula offers an extensive range of outdoor activities: Adventurous souls can try their hand at everything from hikes through the indigenous forest to horseback riding, swimming, summer picnics via helicopter, tennis, cricket, golf, archery or a canoe trip on the Noetzie River.

Guests have the option to arrive on Pezula's private business jet (the Hawker 800XP). The hotel also has its own helicopter and limousine service available.

City souls, seeking a more lasting rural getaway, can buy a piece of land on the Pezula Private Estate. Many other prominent personalities (like World No 1 tennis player Roger Federer) have already chosen to make this exclusive and intimate country resort their home.

Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa definitely gets our stamp of approval as one of the best hotels along South Africa's Garden Route.
