Belvidere Manor

The accommodation at Belvidere Manor consists of 28 Cottages, some with a view of the Knysna Lagoon and some with a view of our gardens. Guests are housed in their own private cottage, single or double storey, which consists of 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms.

Each cottage has a wide verandah, comfortable lounge with fireplace, a fully fitted kitchen, bedrooms en-suite, telephone, television with satellite channels, dvd player, wifi access and overhead fans.

In its life, Belvidere Manor House was an official post office serving the local community, with business being transacted from the glass door in the drawing room. It was a centre of gracious hospitality, welcoming every person of note who visited the Knysna area, a tradition which we hope continues to this very day.

Belvidere Manor's new-look restaurant serves a contemporary menu embracing the 'gastronomica' ethics of sustainable, locally sourced produce - slow-cooked or lightly tossed - the result will delight!

Knysna's smallest pub is housed on the site of the original Belvidere farmhouse, and indeed a feature of the pub is the wine cellar viewed through the window in the floor, where freshly caught game would have been hung. With a yellowwood ceiling and ironwood block floor, The Bell is a quaint favourite of the Belvidere locals.

Relish pub meals are served outside in the garden in summer, but in the winter guests can enjoy the cosy warmth of the wood-burning stove. A wide selection of beers, wines & spirits are available.
