Description

Belvidere Manor built in 1849 was originally a farm but fell into decline in the 1960’s. As Knysna started turning from a little coastal village in to a tourist town the farm was bought and restored. It is now a delightfully tranquil estate, echoing the architecture of Belvidere House, and over 170 bird species have been identified.

Our picturesque self-catering cottages and 3 well-appointed hotel rooms are situated in the grounds of the original Manor house. The cottages are single and double story, one-, two- and three-bedroom freestanding cottages, offering garden or lagoon views. There is an independent on-site restaurant and a range of delicious dining experiences nearby. The natural beauty of the surroundings is unrivalled.

The historic Manor House where breakfast is served and guests can enjoy the sunny patios and tranquil views, is a beautiful example of Cape Georgian architecture, and the quaint, independent on-site restaurant and pub, the Bell Tavern, is a restored farm building. The Manor House, tavern and cottages are surrounded by two hectares of landscaped gardens set within the secluded Belvidere Estate (an area in Knysna). From the terrace of the Manor House, there are breath-taking views across the lawns and swimming pool of the lagoon.
