The historic Belvidere Manor Hotel overlooks the Knysna lagoon and offers stunning views of the water and mountains beyond. Built in 1849, the Belvidere Manor Hotel is a gracious Georgian farm house and was the home of the Duthie family, who settled here in 1834. Now our guests can stay in their own private cottages each echoing the architecture of the manor house, with an airy living room, comfortable sofas, a fireplace, a TV and a DVD player. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen and one two or three double en-suite bedrooms. Fully serviced and individually decorated each cottage has views of either the lagoon or our colourful gardens.

Light meals are served throughout the day and in the evening indulge in gourmet delights at Caroline's Restaurant which serves an a' la carte menu featuring locally sourced produce from neighbouring farms and suppliers. Alternatively, The Bell Tavern, Knysna's smallest pub serves light meals and is open until late.
