On one side, the Indian Ocean thunders into the exquisitely beautiful rocky coast, on the other, Knysna's breathtaking lagoon and the Outeniqua Mountains fill a calmer view. It is on this special spot that you will find a unique creation. Some call it perfection, they call it Pezula and it is there that you will find one of South Africa's first true luxury resort hotel, the Pezula Resort Hotel & Spa Knysna.

The interiors exude warmth, with stone and wooded textures, while welcoming earth tones create an unexpected contrast to the colors of the surrounding landscape. In all suites, sandstone forms a backdrop to the real log fireplaces, while marble is prevalent on many floors, patios and balconies; the suites have individual climate control, satellite television, DVD player, electronic safe, direct telephone, computer and internet access, each has a pantry kitchen with deli snacks and a well stocked drinks cabinet, each has spectacular views across either Golf Course, Indian Ocean or Knysna Lagoon.
