A sunroom above the lagoon.

That view of the Knysna Lagoon is why we call these our Bird’s Eye Suites.

From the sunroom, watch for fish eagles and peregrine falcons over the water. The king-size bed converts to twin beds if you prefer, and a sleeper couch sleeps two children under 11. The bathroom has a bath and a separate shower, with double vanities. The two suites interleave, so families and friends can book them together.

Pillows. Our standard pillows are filled with duck feather and down, each dressed in a quilted microfibre protector and a 100% cotton percale case (200 thread count). For guests with allergies we keep hypoallergenic pillows, filled with microfibre in a down-proof casing. Just ask when you book.
